29navy Posted August 3, 2018 Share #27 Posted August 3, 2018 The ships and buildings are all 1/700 scale waterline models, probably various makers. It is not one kit, but put together from various kits. Most are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted August 3, 2018 Share #28 Posted August 3, 2018 I was being a jerk, sorry about that. It is nice, but I still don't know what I would do with it. The kid in me screams yes and the adult says why? You are correct, it is 3D art in a horizontal format. Horizontal format....hmmmm....are all the ships, etc loose or is everything secure? Just an idea...would it be possible to put it vertically and use it as a wall hanging or something? It would make up less floor space and be easier to examine. My inner kid/adult Jeckel and Hyde are playing the same game with me. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robswashashore Posted August 3, 2018 Share #30 Posted August 3, 2018 If I had the extra $400, I would snap it up. I think it's a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted August 3, 2018 Share #31 Posted August 3, 2018 This is very nice. However, the older I get the less I want big things that will only take up lots of room and collect dust. ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share #32 Posted August 5, 2018 I am gonna pass on this. The reality is I have no room. You can find this on Craig's list Orange County Ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecko Posted November 3, 2018 Share #33 Posted November 3, 2018 If one considers the hours it took to put it together, and the material costs, a year's salary would not cover it, let alone $400. It is also a display worthy of a cover, not as a dust collector. If I had the spare money, I would have bought it and donate it to a naval & maritime museum, where it would be kept in pristine condition, and for thousands of others to appreciate.
