Atlantis Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Oyster Boat Carrie Price - (ex Pyro), 1/60, P1160
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Sold
Still factory sealed. Modern reissue from the original Pyro very early 1960s model. This was an excellent kit for that time and features full hull, optional position keel, optional position cabin and deck hatch (if you wish to super-detail the insides), full deck fittings, two detailed small boats, railings and life rings, furled sails (as shown on box art) and more. The skipjack 'Carrie Price' is an exact replica of a typical small sailing vessel used along the Chesapeake Bay area to dredge for oysters. The center keel stabilizer could be pulled up for working in very shallow water. Until 1942 sail was the only power permitted for oyster dredging; after 1942 the state passed a law allowing power boats to be used. This lead to almost all the skipjacks being converted to power and having the main mast cut down. Although it's days are past, many yachtsmen restore and sail this beautiful small craft today. Pyro is long gone from the plastic kit market but is famous today for the esoteric collection of kits they produced. Pyro cared little about subject matter popularity but designed kits based on historical significance or local interest. The quality of their kits is generally high. Please the read the articles about Pyro Kit History and Pyro's founder, who was a pioneer in modern injection molding. Both are located on this website.

Vaccuform Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+

Includes a display base designed especially for this kit and excellent decals for the chariot sides and gladiator's shield. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions bot in 'near mint' condition. NOTE: as is common with this kit, (2) horse legs and the sword tip are broken off but present so you can repair them. This kit has an interesting history. 'Miniature Masterpieces' was formed through an alliance of Lew Glaser (Revell) and Steve Adams (Adams Action Models) in 1953. Although the molds were made at Adams and it had the appearance of an independent company, the firm was run by Revell down to the prototypes being made at the Revell plant. Originally there was no evidence of the parent company on the surface. The State Coach of England was the first kit, issued in 1953. More kits of excellent quality followed. Revell completely took over the line in 1954 and in that year and the next, kits were labeled 'Revell' with a 'Miniature Masterpiece' label on the box top also. However, Adams broke the relationship with Revell in the later 1950s and began making kits under the Adams name in 1958 with the original molds. Adams then left the plastic kit business and sold their molds to Athern, the famous high-quality HO Craftsman Kit manufacture. Athearn released the armor under the name 'SNAP'; however, they never released the Miniature Masterpieces. About this time, the kits showed up under the UPC name. UPC stood for Universal Powermaster Corporation which was based out of New York City, NY. UPC did not cut their own molds, but bought kits already molded from other manufacturers and re-boxed the kits in the USA. Although this is conjecture, UPC may have leased the molds from Athearn, or more likely, bought molded parts from Athearn and put them in their own box with their own instructions. Scott Eidson, the famous artist best known for his artwork with Revell, also did UPC box art in the 1960s, including this kit. All UPC production ended in the 1970s. At that point, Athearn sold their plastic kits molds to Life-Like, who did reissue the Miniature Masterpieces. That would seem to confirm that UPC was getting the molds or parts from Athearn.
