cdogg Posted December 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2013 Cruising the internet, I found a Constructo kit based on a 19th century shipbuilding shop kit, more like a diorama. Anyone ever seen a build of this out there, maybe on MSW 1.0? I asked Constructo if they still made it and they said no, thinking outside of the US there might be some for sale? Or else this maybe would be a fun scratch kit.

wilnatp Posted March 25, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Saw the kit for sale last week at a local shop for $99. Haven't seen one built, but I think it would look great in a shadow box. Beyond a few completed photos and a kit on eBay, I couldn't find much info online. This site shows great photos of the kit as well as a comprehensive history which is copied from the kit's manual. http://www.lacornamusa.com/blog/?p=73 Let us know if you proceed with this build!
