Any of you guys seen pieces from these guys? They're real gems and here are a few pictures taken during room trading. I belive Bob Walker bought the ship for a nice amount and it's real one-of-akind piece.

Once again thanks Carlos for another batch of great photos and bringing the ship to our attention and hoping Bob will send along additional photos of it shortly after he's gets it home....The Lt.

WOW!
Just the kind of present I would want on my birthday! Just wait till Maddicus and KV see this baby! Is it a Greek naval boat? Looks great with armament bristling everywhere!
Thanks Carlos, the pics are super.

It is a Russian battleship and my guess sold for about $5000.00...maybe more...Michael

Michael,
Do you Like it, though? Greek, Russian, it's all Russian to me.

I would buy it in a heartbeat with funny money, because that would be the only way I could afford it...Michael

I might be able to afford the Gleek steam pinnace!

I changed my mind. That ship could have sold for $10,000...It is a work of absolute metalworker art..There is a site that sells actual steam tinplate ships, that are much smaller variations of this type...Search for Tucher & Walther on the net and you will find some tin beauties...such as the 3' gunboat attached..Michael

As Ace Ventura said after being hit by three poison darts..""THATS TOO MUCH!"

Still not high enough yet. I was told the price was $16,000. It was a special commission by Bob Walker and includes figures from his old toy soldier company. Carlo's pictures do not reflect the sheer size of the ship.

 

[Beaufighter]

I heard a similar number-that being $14,000.00 and she was in "dry dock" for a ninety (90) day building process. Without a doubt, a very unique & daunting piece!

Tally Ho,

Anyone know anything about this company? I can't find anything by google. Their aircraft look fantastic and somewhat affordable as compared to KC warbirds. Any info would be welcomed. -- lancer

Very cool and interesting pieces they have and they always make me do a double take but I think they are more of a Monet to me.

Here are a couple of Ebay links:

That ship is fantastic. The price is more than I can afford, but reasonable for the work of art that it is.

Read the EBay descriptions about Metal Shed.
