We are pleased to introduce The Winter Harbor Lobster Boat. New England style Lobster Boats have long been a popular subject for model boat enthusiasts, and after many customer requests we decided to bring our take on a classic Maine Lobster Boat to life. Our model of the Winter Harbor Lobster Boat is a predominantly wood model that utilizes die-cut and laser cut parts and features a balsa planked over laser cut plywood frame hull. This model is big on details like the console, davit, pot hauler, traps, even a tool box, and the Step-by-Step instructions guides the modeler through the building process.

Modeller must be prepared to deal with resin pinholes and minor part breakage. They are not pictured but are included. Bottom of hull is rough as they are pulled from one piece molds. These kits are for advanced modelers only.

I was going to do “Battleship Row” in 1/350 scale from that fateful morning of December 7, 1941 but don’t have the space or time for it any longer. Here goes the description. These kits are for advanced modelers only. If you’re expecting Tamiya quality and fit, this is not for you! Modeller must be prepared to deal with resin pinholes and minor part breakage. I inventoried the parts and got replacements for what was bad. Bottom of hull is rough as they are pulled from one piece molds. Good news is you get a nice topside, which is the part you can actually see when finished. Modeller must be prepared to deal with broken bilge keel breakage. Easy fix with Plastruct strips. Includes a set of turned brass barrels made for this kit by a gentleman who is no longer with us named Steve Nutall, as well as some L’arsenal guns to improve the detail of the kit parts. A note about the photoetch parts – they will be sent separately in a sturdy envelope. When I got the kit, they were “wrapped” around the box and had to undergo a straightening process. I don’t want you to have to endure that or risk damage of these delicate parts. I did get replacements for the cage masts. Will be insured due to the value and nature of this item.

It is an unassembled kit of the USS Maryland from 1941, which was present during the Pearl Harbor attack. The set includes everything needed to create a detailed replica of the USS Maryland, with intricate details and historical accuracy.

USS Arizona Pearl Harbor Explosion Diaroma Model 1/426. This is a very detailed piece. I’ve done these diaromas in the past for an actual survivor of the Arizona attack. He loved it so I’m now doing them for the public to enjoy. Many hours went into building this piece. The base is made from solid oak and is unstained but it can be stained any color by you once you get it. The size is roughly 12x20x1 inches. It has a slight lighting effect which can be seen by turning it on with a switch. The battery is on the underside of the model. Get it now whilst it last. I also do Titanic wrecks as well.

Save a Life – Adopt a Pet Today. Resin & Brass & Photo Etched Parts. One piece full hull resin w/ Photoetch. Re-release in 1/350 scale. VERY Advanced skills required. Will require skills with Superglue, Soldering Gun, sanding, painting, PE brass & probably some putty work. Made in the USA. This is a poured resin hull in 1 piece, solid resin. Thereby the bottom or keel may be a bit rough and may require some extra attention and work. It’s not a defect, it’s how the kit is and the only way to guarantee a clean appearance and fit for the upper half of the kit. Because these kits are handmade, they may require the molds to be recast at times.
