kumamax Posted March 7, 2014 #1 Posted March 7, 2014 Hello boys, after have read the interesting topics concerning Euromodel productions I have decided and have just purchased a Royal William kit from Euromodel site. They have a fantastic discount sale going on at the moment and thought it was worth passing on to interested persons. I hope that was useful to anyone interested in these kits. Regards Brian the extraordinaire and NMBROOK 2 Quote
Keith_W Posted March 7, 2014 #2 Posted March 7, 2014 Brian, I told you the other night that I had ordered one from Euromodel. I did it earlier this week. I'm not sure how kumamax was able to buy one - what I got instead was an email informing me that there are no more left and it will take 2 weeks for them to restock. Maybe he snaffled the last one Jaxboat 1 Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel
Keith_W Posted March 7, 2014 #3 Posted March 7, 2014 The discount has been going all week, Brian It was only the 20% discount that pushed me to order the Royal William. I have previously expressed my concerns to you about this kit. I would have preferred to take a look at yours before ordering it, but hey. 20% discount is a 20% discount Jaxboat 1 Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel
Ponto Posted March 8, 2014 #4 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Well,...opening this thread just cost me an arm and a leg. I couldn't hold back any longer and the 20% discount pushed me over the edge......I should soon be the proud owner of the Le Renommee. There is one particular version of it displayed on their site that has inspired me for some time. Thanks for the heads up about the discount... I think......LOL Edited March 12, 2014 by Ponto Jaxboat, Brian the extraordinaire, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Built & De-Commissioned: HMS Endeavour (Corel), HMS Unicorn (Corel), Abandoned: HMS Bounty (AL) Completed : Wappen Von Hamburg (Corel), Le Renommee (Euromodel)... on hold Current WIP: Berlin by Corel On Shelf: HMS Bounty (Billings),
Ponto Posted March 12, 2014 #5 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Well, she is Canada bound now and I think I am over the buyers remorse period.... wow!!!......taxes, shipping costs, and exchange rates sure add to the "bottom line". I'll be sure to provide an open box preview of the kit contents when the time comes and hopefully follow up with a build log at some later date. I don't think the Le Renommee has ever been featured in a log here.

piratepete007 Posted March 13, 2014 #9 Posted March 13, 2014 Ponto - great to read that you have purchased the Euromodel LeRenommee. I am currently working on the Euromodel Friederich Wilhelm zu Pferde (a German frigate) which is full of surprises and challenges and that is what you will experience with your French ship. This is the sleekest ship from their 'stable' and like all of their models, the challenges will be aplenty. I have posted construction notes for some of the hull construction on their website. Good luck. Pete Ponto 1 Quote
