Ships for sale
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 15, 2004 4:22 PM
Hey Guy's, I,ve just started back building models it's been over 20 years since building any. My question is this, know a guy that will sell me 16 model ships for 75 bucks. They are all 1/700. the brands are Hasegawa, Tamiya,Aoshima, fuyimi. All are Japanese destory's and cruisers. also all are waterline series.(whatever that means) Are they worth the price? Thanks,

Welcome to the forum!
Indeed a good deal; you can resell the ones you don't want on evilbay and come out miles ahead!
Also, a waterline model is one where the hull is divided top & bottom at the waterline, so the model can be displayed "at sea".
Regards,

That's a great deal...although some of the kits may not be the most modern updated versions, if you're getting back into it, that's a great way to get your feet wet without spending a fortune.

You can check out www.modelwarships.com gallery for images of most of the ships you'll be getting. There's also how-to articles written by myself and countless others on how we do specific things, like water, rigging, weathering, etc...

Best Regards,
