New design USS OREGON (BB3)

[alross2]

Brylan:
For now the only way to get your hands in one of these models is to keep watching Ebay. It has come up a few times. Next time I see one I wil buy it.

You must be thinking of MAINE or OLYMPIA, both of which I developed. OREGON hasn't been produced yet; should be in production in a couple months.

Good catch.
You are so correct.
So what you are saying is the Oregon soon will be on sale?
Who will distribute it?

 

[Bluemaxone]

Gorgeous model and plans! My compliments!

It's a BlueJacket Shipcrafters kit.

 

[Bluebeard]

Good to know.
I just bought from them the “Herreshoff 12 1/2”.
Nice little model that very soon I will put together.

This is the current state of the OREGON kit I've been developing for BJ. Still quite a way to go, but I like to temporarily place parts as I build just to get a feel for how things are fitting.

OMG $800+

 

[Bryian]

$800- plus $98- for a paint kit.

 

[Bluebeard]

I might be dreaming but unless the price comes down, only rich people will have the chance to own one.

The hull is carved basswood and is about 33" long. There are about 275 britannia fittings, 500+ photoetched details, 280 laser-cut parts, and 35 resin components. It will keep you busy for a day or so...
