American Civil war cannon and ammunition chest

[rshousha]

I have these absolutely awful kits by Model Shipways and I just want to get rid of them. They are 1:16 scale and made from some totally awful diecast metal.

If you have that urge to build something out of an absolutely awful pile of parts, have I got the thing for you!

I want $20 USD, plus shipping, for these two kits, but the price is totally negotiable. I would prefer not to dump them unceremoniously in the recycling bin.

I am sorry that you have lost your sense of humour with these kits, however, I can't help as I am currently building a Mamoli kit and am in daily contact with my therapist.

I have the full line of Civil War and other cannons, and I agree they are a POS when it comes to castings and instructions.

I hope to be able to rework them into a half way resemblence of what they are supposed to represent.

I think these would make great subjects for 3D printed models. If anyone would like me to draw something up for them, and even make up the parts, I would be ready to do that.

These kits have to go.

lost your sense of humour with these kits

Indeed, I saw the humour when I first opened them up, but there's only so much fun one can have. Being on Pocher kit #17, there are still some pathetic kits that do make me laugh. These went from laughing to crying, to a nervous sort of laughter, especially when holding a large hammer over them.

Unfortunately these 1:16 scale artillery models cannot be paired with available miniature military modeling figures. As the most common size is 54mm or 1:32 scale.

I'm a bit tempted,but your description isn't really selling them

 

[Corsair]

It's truly a shame that they are not decent. I did the gatling gun and the limber quite some time ago and they turned out quite nice.

For the price you can't go wrong. They have "rough" castings, but the kits can be build with patience and lots of metal working to clean them up for painting and assembly.

I'll bite. How much would be the shipping to Van nuys, ca
