I saw this link over on another site and thought I'd pass it along. Be sure to check out the a/c and military vehicles. Truly remarkable stuff. Be sure to check out those prices lists too!

Price is always a question depending on many values.
If I had too much money the Corsair would definitely find a new home! I wonder how long it took to build it? And the cost of materials? It must be a lot. Plus it seems there are one or two people in the whole world that can do something magnificent as that.
Just what would be a "right" price for a piece like that?
Things that make you go hmmmmm....

Only 13.000 USD (and cents) for such a great model of the Tirpitz ?!
Or a new car for my wife ?
Hmmm... I'll ask her what she thinks !

I am not a boat or ship builder but all I can say is wow holy God those are nice models. The price is high but so is the Quality. God I would get one just to have one if I had that many bucks laying around. Thanks for the good post.

Did you all check out that M5A1 or Jeep or 2 1/2 ton Xmas maybe. Heck who am I kidding she would tell me to shove that $7000.00 tank up my you know what
Now see what you did.. I thought spending $100 on a Dragon Wagon was a bunch geesh let me show them to her maybe she will say ok NOT.

Hey, how would you like to see your nephew drop one of those $7,000 tanks on the floor just to see if it was really made out of metal (copper)? I would need to take out an insurance policy just to be able to sleep at night #:-) Let's see, I could buy a 1:8 scale 1931 Mercedes SSKL for $32,000 or put a down payment on a house. Tough choice...

Yes but if you look mostly all the train stuff is sold out those model railroaders will get it no matter what the cost.

That N&W 2-6-6-2 I bet is going to be one expensive sob. As an ole railroad modeler I bet it will sell.

I'm sure it is a LOT of fun for the guys who BUILD those models. They must be laughing their heads off everytime one of those pieces is sold !
