Has anyone ever inquired if the ships were included? Wink [;)]

Very impressive! How long does it take to build ships like that from scratch?

So that's why they always refer to ships as "she". . . .

where exactly can I get a "model" liike that? I like the one with the Santa outfit on myself. What kit is that? Is she out of the box, or does she have aftermarket parts? On a serious note though, how could you possibly let the ships go that cheap? I mean, some of those kits cost more than what the final prices were. (checked your past auctions) They are beautiful works, I think you deserve alot more than that, especially if you had to pay the Price is Right chics.!

So I'm confused. Are those your models on eBay or were those made by someone else for you or what? With those being scratchbuilt and not prefrabricated parts, how long does it take to make something like that? Like monsterarmor said, I would think they would be more than they ended up at.

No, Those are not my models, there is not enough detail on them for my taste, although they are much better than the dime store mock up you find all over ebay.

Where can we look at your models? The link for your homepage doesn't seem to be working. There's an error message when I click on the link:
