New Caldercraft Kits in the Pipeline.

[Rob. T.]

Caldercraft have been developing a few new projects, although these are not available yet I just thought that these were worthy of a mention.
First up is Caldercraft/Jotika
HMS Surprise kit which going by the pictures on their website is quite a way into the design process.
Second up is the plans for "A 74 gun ship"
Although they say they can't divulge or name the ship in question, they give enough clues I regards to the year it was launched (1783) a major player in several battles and Flagship of a few admirals as well as being Attributed to even a Mutiny.
With all this information taken on board, I maybe wrong, but I think I can deduce that the 74 gun ship in question will be
HMS DEFIANCE.

I have included a link below to their website for your info.

Hallo @Rob. T.
mayn thanks for the info and the given link.
When I remember correctly, these announcements made by Caldercraft (and also these pages showing the prototyp of the HMS Surprise and the 74-gunner) are unfortunately already 10 years or more old.
I would be very happy, if Caldercraft would release these models, but I have my doubts, that they really worked in the meantime on the development of this kits.
Maybe I am wrong here, but .......

I've been waiting for them to release that HMS Surprise ever since I started building ships! I've honestly given up.
