| | 01 Sep 2009 11:21 AM | | Considering that a Battlers Liberty ship hull costs $110 and the Albatross is almost the same size and more complex to lay up and trim, I could charge the same. However, I don't think the time I spend making an Albatross hull and the cost of the materials justifies a price that high. I'll sell them for $90 plus shipping by Canada Post (ground or airmail). I have one hull in stock and will finish another this weekend. Bob | | | |

| | 12 Sep 2009 08:44 PM | | Bob, I've been in contact with Stephen and the Hood main turret mold will ship out with the other stuff he's getting from me. I want the molds in production and he seems to be doing good work (or at least getting good people to do it for him, either way it's all good). | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden

I've been trying to maintain a list of all the hull manufacturers and wonder where Bob Pottle's molds ended up. Are the new owners offering hulls for sale?
I know most people tend to use the SCRAP site to find hulls and makers, it is kept up to date by cotributions of information.

| | 15 Sep 2009 10:32 AM | | Tugboat, Thanks for sending the Hood's turret master and mold to Strike Models. The Hood mold was shipped by FedEx yesterday. Furious, Vanguard and Sri Ayuthia molds will follow in a couple of weeks, then the revised Krasni Krim plug and the HMAS/HMS Albatross mold. Bob | | | |

| | 15 Sep 2009 02:03 PM | | Bob, I don't remember getting the master, but it's beena while since I opened the box. I know for a fact that the turret mold is here, because it's one of the nicer ones and that sticks out in my mind. I will make sure I look twice; Stephen is getting all the turret molds I have, so that simplifies things. | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden

| | 17 Sep 2009 11:48 AM | | El Jefe, Stephen Morgret has changed his mind re the Albatross mold, so if you're interested in the mold or a hull contact me. It's an equivalent hull to the Battler's LIberty ship but has bulges and a much more interesting apearance. Can be used as a convoy ship in it's late war role as a Royal Navy fleet repair ship, or as a Class 1 combatant as an early WWII sea plane carrier. HMS Albatross was in one of the South Atlantic task forces searching for the Graf Spee. The mold is $350 plus shipping so considering material expenses and charging what BC does for a LIberty ship selling 4-5 hulls would be the break even point. I paid Ralph Coles $500 to make the mold and it's only had 3 hulls pulled from it so it's in excellent condition. Bob Pottle | | | |
