RMS Titanic & SS Moygannon

[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

For sale due to a) never going to get round to building as they are too big and b) I would like to buy the new Speedline Tamar class lifeboat and she who must be obeyed says I can’t have another project till I sell some of those cluttering up her loft.So here goes.1) A very large 1:144 scale model semi kit of RMS Titanic.this is unstarted and is the kit supplied by the American conglomerate of model ship builders which contains the grp hull at over 70" length with resin funnels, boats vents and ancilliaries, pluss all the brass etching fittings for other parts.Two cd roms of her build( I presume as I have never watched them) and the complete set of the Robert Hann drawings, supposedly the finest in the world.To help I will throw in the book on modelling the Titanic which I paid £25.00 for.This kit is the ultimate Titanic model and cost me over £1200.00p to import, inc. all customs and Vat costs, and I would like £750 ovno for it.see the pics of her below sat on a king size bed for the size. please excuse my ironing pile……..seems to grow on medaily. The second model for sale is the Fleetscale models semi kit of the steam collier SS Moygannon and measures in at 82" long, which is so large you could use it as a canoe.It comes again with grp hull and superstructure, resin quaycraft ships boats, resin winches/windlass and all other resin fittings, plus some white metal ones sucu as davits, ships wheel and brass binnacle, telegraph and ships bell, plus a massive 4 blade propellor, plus shaft.it has a carbon fibre funnel with brass piping and is crying out for a large steam plant.I saw one of these built at the last Blackpool show and it was stunning.It cost me with the extras over £600.00p and I would be willing to sell for £450.00 ovno, but this one is so large I would have to say pick up from the Blackpool area only.

The postage on Titanic would be about £25.00p, but if someone wanted both boats I would axcept a sensible offer for both and would consider delivery to mainland britain based on a petrol charge of 40mpg both ways.go on you know you want them. Buy it now and you could have Titanic ready for her 100 aniversary.For full pictures of both models please see my gallery. thanks.neil.

Hi again Neil

Two very nice models to build and I have to admit to being very tempted since you posted for sale but  I would have to sell my Trent Lifeboat to be able to afford them and I just can’t bring myself to part with it.

I tried raiding the piggy bank but 2 euros and a farthing won’t get me very far.

Good luck with the sale, whoever gets them is getting a real bargain.

I’ll swap you the moygannon for the trent?

Oh well I can dream.cheers anyway, Paul.If I don’t sell I’ll just have to wait for my speedline Tamar.they’ll probably be out of date by the time that comes around.

tamars i mean, not adrians kit.

cheers,neil.

Hi Neil

A tempting offer as the Moygannon is a truly huge beast and I just love building BIG models but at last valuation the Trent was worth quite a bit more so I shall have to decline but not after spending a sleepless night thinking about it.

Thanks anyway and I will still say good luck with the sale even though I really hope that you don’t sell them until I have gathered enough cash to buy the pair off you…..but still as you say I can dream as these are a real bargain.

All the best my friend.

Moygannon is now sold, but the titanic is still available and I am open to decent offers on the asking price………………just have no room in the loft as the ceiling is giving way?????

cheers,neil.

[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

Titanic has now also been sold, thanks.

Someone said it was going back to Belfast….give them another shot at getting it right??
