Group, I have just completed the construction of the Woody Joe kit, Charles Royal Yacht, 1674. This ship was a gift from the Dutch to King Charles II used on the river unlike his much larger Royal Yacht, HMY Fubbs. I am almost finished writing a practicum for this model which is available now...

Group, I've got to man unfinished models! I'd like to sell my uncompleted Soleil Royal. I started this kit about a year ago I think. I didn't take any photos of the construction because I never had any plans to write a practicum on building it. However, as time went by I had to put it aside to...

For several years now I've worked on my 1:30 scale Royal Caroline kit. The time has come to say goodbye to it and attempt to sell it for a very good price. The Pictures show the stage in construction that I am at. I have a number of built/assembled parts not yet mounted and the other 3 boxes of...

I'm trying to sell my Genmitsu Pro XL CNC Mill for $600.00. I've had the mill for about 18 months and have only used it once to cut out 7 doors for my Royal Caroline model I've been building. Here is a link to the mill which is selling for $1149.00 today (same price I paid for it 18 months ago)...

I have two 3D printers I'm trying to sell ( I still have 2 others) to raise a little bit of money to purchase a resin 3D printer. These are FDM printers that use 1.75mm filament. One is the Artillery Genius printer which is a very nice little printer that's been very reliable. The other is a...

One of my customers contacted me recently and asked if I knew anyone who might be interested in buying some items he'd like to sell. He has one of my Plank on Frame Patrick Henry kits new and still in the box, a slightly used Byrnes miniature table saw, and the four volume set of David...

Hi Group, It's been a while since I posted anything. That's not to say I haven't been doing anything worth posting. Let's just say I've entered a new phase of my life as a model shipbuilder and business owner. I now consider myself "semi-retired." What that means is that after 17 years in...

I have a set of the Chinese CNC milled Wasa carvings in 1/4" scale that includes a set of plans I'd like to sell. These sell on eBay for $600 (see...

I received an email from a woman whose husband died recently. She has his still brand new, unopened kits I produced of the HMY Fubbs and the HMS Kingfisher. She asked me if I could help her sell them. She also asked what they might be worth. My advice to her was not to take anything less than...

A Japanese member of my own forum just told me that a new group of POF laser cut kits are now available from Japan: https://ship-model.net/ Right now there are 3 such models but more are on the way. Bob

I thought this might be of interest to some of you. A few years ago I put together a laser cut kit I called The Lauck Street Shipyard in honor of my business that I started in 2003. The diorama was a shipyard with 3 buildings and a ship under construction. One building was the Shipyard Office...

Group, Back in 2008 I had developed and was producing a CNC milled plank on frame kit of the Royal Yacht, HMY Fubbs. The kit was designed to be built as a Navy Board model. It was inspired by a scratchbuilt model I built years earlier of the ship using the plans drawn by Portia Takakjian. The...

Group, I've been working on a Chinese kit I purchased on eBay that is true POF of the Mayflower. It uses sister framing rather than the single futtock framing shown in the drawings in the book Mayflower II, but is still a fun build and results in a very nice looking model. The kit does not...

Group, I've been wanting to build a USS Constitution kit but have been having trouble finding a good kit and understanding which kit is the most popular kit. I've already build the Model Shipways kit many years ago so I don't want to build that kit again. I've built a number of Mamoli kits and...
