Model Shipways Syren US Brig

[olphart]

This is my first post..

I had just started this kit, but realized that I needed to finish my other ship first. It's a Corel "Syrene". I still need to do the rigging on that one. Unfortunately time has passed without getting the other one done, so I decided that I should sell this and move on.
It's a Model Shipways Syren, 1:64 complete kit like new. The only work done is the keel and bulkheads. Everything else is unopened and untouched.
I'm looking for $225 plus shipping.

No interest? I thought it was a good price. Offers?

You might try donating it. It's a nice kit. But something odd about it, for some reason nobody wants to buy it. That particular kit and a couple others have a strange reputation. It's not easy to describe.

Maybe somebody jumps on it.

Model Expo was selling it for $370.00 then cut the price to $300.00 rumor was poor sales so really $225.00 is a nice price but like Mike said builders tend to stay away from it.
we do have a couple build logs of the model so maybe someone might want the kit.

perhaps so more details of the kit like the carvings

You mean like these?

I dunno, seems like a pretty high quality kit to me. I haven't done much on it, but I'm super impressed compared to the Corel Syrene

I guess I'll give it a few more days, then I'll put it on Ebay
