How many are going to order the Victory? (1 Viewer)

[Spitfrnd]

Since this question was asked for the Karl Morser, I figured why not the same for the Victory. While it is too steep for my blood, I also wanted to know who might end up with one that I could see in person.

I would love to have one but it is about 5 years of my TS budget!and I don't have the room for something like that.I'm afraid food,a roof over my head and a vehicle have priority.

For a thousand more, I could have this 1/32 Sub-Chaser by Fine Arts Models

It's WWII related, was in Normandy protecting allied shipping. It will look good with the KC LCVP and Figarti's LCT

Mark, I am in the same boat. Would love to have one, but it is just a dream. Have to eat and keep my roof, too. -- Al

Well it IS most impressive but a bit too large and expensive for me as well. Nothing against Figarti or Lord Nelson but but frankly I might have been more tempted by a Frigate, like the venerable "Surprise" (Rose). I always preferred those to the SOTLs and it might have come in at less than a half/third of the size and price. Tell me now, is she not a beauty?

 

[jazzeum]

As I said right after this was first announced, who wouldn't want one?

Alas, it's not in the cards.

Its not going to happen for me. It is unbelievably magnificent in person, but I can't see spending $6,500 for one toy, no matter how spectacular.

Quite, and who would not want a frigate after reading the Patrick O'Brian series?

Oh no, I was counting on you Louis. If not you, who is our yes vote here; come on lads fess up?

 

[jazzeum]

Maybe it's Rick. I think he could get a good price

 

[Russell]

For only $8,500 you can have this Hunter 23, 1986, and that's the asking price. It's negociable . It's 23 feet, it floats, but does not easily fit in your living room.

13000$ is too much for the Victory
She said if i spend 6500$ for a boat
she can spend the same amount at her will
So 13000$ is too much

Maybe so, and maybe he built it for himself.

 

[marco55]

I'm sure there are plenty of collectors with a lot of money who will order this ship.Probably most of them don't belong to the forum.I'll bet well to do Brits and maybe some of the royality will get this.

You may be very close to the mark. I asked Rick if it was his father's idea like the Last Supper, but he said it was his idea. He probably did build it for himself. It's a very nice model and probably will sell in markets other than to people on the Treefrog Forum.

Probably after I assemble and paint the one I have in my garage rafters

 

[Vezzolf]

To much $ for me and not enough space to display it......For those who can afford it and have the room it will be a great piece...Looks very impressive

Other that 2 so far on the forum you mean. I suppose I should have made in a public pool since I would like to know if anyone on the east coast is getting one.
