Richardbf91 Report post Posted January 18 Hi This model has been made for myself. The work is great but not cheap. Think was about 200 euros but a nice model of my favourite ship which I have many good memories. I have also had condor express made by Harry and have one more lined up. He is almost like a real ship yard with a waiting time of months before building sometimes. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvabishop Report post Posted January 18 Arw we sure these are 'balsa wood' models? This sort of quality would normally use close grained woods such as lime/box, obechi or pear etc. Balsa waould never hold a decent edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know really, 20 probably and that’s almost certainly under calling it. So .......... £9 / hr for work of that quality !!! I couldn’t get somebody to sweep my drive for 2x that. Looks lovely.
