Hi All
Just came across this ship that's become available:-

It's from a film about the Chinese Civil War:-

Here's a pic with a person to give some scale:-

And here's some shots of a diorama of the Shanghai waterfront made with the ship (needless to say I'm very jealous :o):-

I've found the cheapest at about $200A including shipping but still too rich for my poor wallet :'( :'(
Cheers

ooooh that is nice, but as you say at that price a bit too many pennies :(
Flipping heck that's good!
Wholeheartedly agree. Terrific.
(Yet the crazy thing is, if that dock scene was shown in a film we'd say, "Oh, that's just a model!" .... #-o)
Great diorama that would be perfect for some skirmish wargames. Sadly the ship is too big and too expensive for me.
Spectacliar ! (sic).

Not really cost-effective, then.
Great dio!

Nice but too rich at that money. For engagements with ships and aircraft I revert to 6mm. I currently have a VBCW campaign in both 10mm and 6mm. The 6mm allows more space for items like big ships, but 10mm has the detail - more pleasing to the eye. And at my age the eyesight becomes an issue.
In my dreams :-X
