ONLY £120 ouch ouch. Well the auction company did not advertise that very well as there defently was no buyers there. Even with that damage she should have taken £1000+ if the people who are intrest in ferry new about it ,it would have gone for far more. If that went on ebay to day it would make a £1000 no problem

yes £1000 minimum i'd say, there must have been a few made as i remember the fantasia 1:100 model in stena line livery at the ticket office in dover's eastern docks back in the 90's, it obviously wasnt this one.
i know the seafrance fiesta/cezanne model also sold a few months ago in auction but i aint got a clue what that fetched.

Have to agree with you.
Well if these auctions places dont let people know they wont get top doller.
I would have to agree that several would have been made.

i'm gonna keep my eye on charles miller auctions in the future, they have many great models for auction, none as cheap as this one but i may get lucky one day

With a handling charge of £150, I doubt the seller hardly made a bean!!!

I sometimes get the feeling that Ebay is ripping me off but these guys are taking the mickey.
I have however just bookmarked their website....just in case.

Thanks to Carl's kind donation of some G/A plans I have managed to make a start on the Pride of Calais.
There's not much to look at yet but now I've started it should come on quickly.

Looks more complete than the poor old Pride of Dover at the moment.......poor old girl is slowly disappearing in a cloud of cutting torches in Turkish breakers yard

I am drooling here Ali

A little update for you.

I'm really enjoying this build, I may make the windows a little smaller but not sure yet. I added the beading between the pains on glass on a couple of windows but I might just leave them open.

Hi Ali

Question. the bridge wings are they going to be inclosed or open

john

wartsilaone · « **Reply #315 on:** February 21, 2013, 08:31:54 pm »

I will make two interchangeable bridges and add the type (enclosed or open wing) corresponding to the livery applied to each model.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of networking though.
