Mediterraneo The Great Cathedral - Arquitecnova, 20153

Wood and Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

The Great Cathedral - Arquitecnova

$40   

This kit was factory sealed in a unique way. The bottom box and all of the contents was sealed all the way around. That way the potential buyer could remove the top, view the contents and yet everything still stayed sealed. This one is still sealed but there is a tear in the seal at the right, which exposed two compartments of parts; those are complete with the parts still factory sealed. This is a very unique kit. With it you can built the cathedral shown at the right. This is done with a combination of a large, injection molded & detailed base, a fair number of injection molded plastic parts and factory-make molds that you cast the walls and roof with, then you paint and weather it with the included 8 large jars of paint. Here is how it works. First, there is a superb instruction book in English, Spanish (and I believe Portuguese?). Each step is detailed and heavily illustrated. First, the plastic parts are the inner frame for all of the cast walls and roof, so you glue those to the base. Then following the instructions, you mix the included plaster and cast the parts. Then the decoration begins. this starts with how to paint a realistic finish on the stones, adding different tones and then adding the colorful windows. Next, you attach the finished & decorated castings to the plastic frames. Then comes the 'final touches', finishing and some decals - and it's ready to display! Never started. The interior is still about 80% factory sealed and the parts that are not sealed are still in the factory bags. Includes full color text and illustrated instructions. NOTE: as an alternate to the included plaster, you could also used casting resin.

F6F-5 Hellcats - F6F VS-1 VOF-1 VF-11

$14   

Still factory sealed. These decals are 'mint' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence. Includes paint and markings guide. On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. To save on or eliminate shipping for decals, please order them with model kits or order enough of them to make boxing worth while. USPS clearly states that any flexible envelope will be bent 90 degrees or more in 2 inches, I cannot send decals in a flexible envelope. And any decal reinforced with cardboard will be greater than 1/4" thick, which USPS says must go as a normal box. There is no choice; because I will not send decals to their probable destruction, shipping in a box is the only option.

F-104 Starfighter Decals

$8   

Still factory sealed. These decals are in 'excellent++' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence. Light yellowing (as shown in the photo) is the only flaw; remove this by taping them up a window facing the sun for several bright days. Includes a full color paint & reference guide. On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. Because USPS handles envelopes roughly by bending them from 90 to 180 degrees in a sorting machine, I will only ship decals in a box; so to save on shipping, order decals with model kits so they ship together.

A decal reinforced with cardboard will be greater than 1/4" thick, which USPS says must go as a normal box. There is no choice; because I will not send decals to their probable destruction, shipping in a box is the only option. I inquired about sending decals via "Media Mail" as the looks like the perfect solution; however, the US Post Master specifically called out decals as not being Media mail and prohibiting using it in that way. Yes, some businesses do anyway but it is against regulations. I have a great relationship with USPS and I cannot put that at risk.
