    For sale is a French small cruiser La Glossioniere (spelling really bad on this one!). Needs to have sub deck re- installed. Hull has NOT been deepened, so I assume it's usable for either Big or Fast Gun combat. Paint is cracking, but overall a fairly nice scratch build. Has shaft struts and rudder post in and has a nice brass rudder. No plans.

    Asking $60 plus shipping. 20140310_105508_LLS.jpg 20140310_105518_LLS.jpg 20140310_105528_LLS.jpg 20140310_105542_LLS.jpg

    In the package, the ship also includes some of the deck and a bit of superstructure that I found.

    Yep, still available. Many have indicated that they were interested, but life sometimes gets in the way. Still packaged and ready to ship to any state or country, but California. Thanks for your interest. Gary

    When I started the La Glossioniere, the local Big Bun club did not allow for deepened hulls, so it was built to scale depth. Halfway through the build the rules were changed, so I started another "deepened" hull for the Emile Bertin. As for arming it, it would have been for Big Gun, with guns and torpedo guns. Since the ship is now only usable for Fast Fun, I am not sure what would be best. I checked on shipping and the bad news is $56, $4 shy of the ships cost. But it's your luck day, I will absorb half the shipping sell it to you for the out the door price of $85. Yes, Pay Pal would be fine. Gary

    Just spotted your post. It's already boxed, I will check and see what shipping is. What is your ZIP?

    The La Glossioniere (fast gun) and Emile Bertin (Big Gun without shafts) are both still available. The Emile is for Big Gun since the hull has been deepened and the La Gloss has not. I also still have a Big Gun Gascone and possibly a Missouri available. Shiping is always the worst part. Give me a zip and I can give you a close estimate. Gary

    USPS Estimator says $19.65 to your location. Emile and La Glas are just hulls. La Glas may have a little superstructure and I believe I can find plans. The USS Missouri is a full ship, but everything inside has been stripped out. Gascone is sheeted hull and 50% of the superstructure, with 2 of the 4 shafts in already. Gary

    I would have to look to see which ones I still have. At one time I had three small French Cruisers. Two were Emile Bertins, with deepened hulls for Big Gun and the other was a La Glossioniere for Fast Gun. I still have two boxed and ready to ship out of state.
