Martyn,

I'm sure you must have meant "for" sale and not "on" sale

Cheers,

Sure did Brad:salute::, it was being sold by Jean-Claude who had "loads of" AZW Trophy for sale last year, they all sold surprisingly and I even managed to acquire several choice items:wink2:

Cheers

The display of gunboats and dhows is truly impressive. They look fantastic and thanks for sharing.

Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum and thought you might like to see Len's boats. He and Valerie came to Sulphur Springs to visit Mike Laeding and me. Tommy

Hello "W T AllisonII":

Great looking photos of splendid Trophy boats, etc.

Thank you. Like many, I am still looking for the dhow that eludes me.

These are the production numbers as of August 4, 2006 according to Len. "Leopard"=28; "Eagle"=35; "Lion"=18; and "Victoria"=66. Good hunting!

Not too many of the "Lion" , that's gonna be hard to find{eek3} There was a "Leopard" on sale at the last London Show for £2500

Tom Dubel got one last year Tommy. Maybe you can entice him to part with it :smile2:

Tommy,
Those are some very interesting stats. Nothing on the small Nile gunboat or Arab Dhow? I assume the numbers are much greater! {sm4}

Were the boats made to order and that is why the numbers vary or did Len just say I am making 28 leopards and that is it.

That's a great question, I'll have a word with Len and see what I can find out:wink2:

The numbers of each boat are on the bottom of the bow. They were all special order because of the cost. Len didn't give me any numbers as to the small gunboats and the dhow. From some photos he sent me, it looked like he would wait until he had two or three orders and would then devote production to them, especially as to the "Victoria".

Foregun detail-"Eagle".

 

[jazzeum]

Fantastic, as usual. Too bad I didn't become interested in Trophy sooner

Loading the stern mortar-"Lion".

We should try and convince Mike Norris to visit the Crimean War if we hope to get a new version of HMS Lion.

With only 18 of the "Lion" by Trophy, hopefully Mike would consider this.

Bringing up the powder from the magazine below decks-"H.M.S. Lion". The detail is outstanding.

Isn't there a K & C dealer out in California that makes impressive looking ships?
