I actually just recieved this as a gift, a friend of the family's brother make em from scratch. Said it took him about 3 months to make. I can see how you could fall into this hobby. Too bad I don't have that type of patience..

There is/was a member from Peekskill that I went to his home, and actually spent more time looking at his model ships than his tank! Somewhere I have pics of a ship that he had been working on for years...he had purchased a very expensive kit, BUT didn't like the size, so he hand built every single piece to a larger scale, with even MORE detail. He had even designed and built his own machine to take very fine threads and braid them into 'scale' rope for the rigging.

Jeez, I know how to braid rope, but that's some serious commitment right there.

This is pretty far back, I'm not even sure some of the old threads from 2003 & 2004 are still on the board. Well look on the bright side, at lease he was asking if the items for sale was still available.

Thats some Hawt Sauce.
To the OP why waste your time building something that does nothing, You should look into building model rockets or RC stuff.

Ship building is not for me.
This is dedication.
