I picked up a large scale model kit of Hms Victory a while back. Still in original packaging for £100. By Constructo. Someday i will finish it. It would cost a fortune through those rip off mags. How can you be motivated when bits are arriving each week but not the bits you want. No time for those mags. Like my kits to come in one box with instructions and at a reasonable price.

I saw that one as well, especially as it mentioned the mechanical movement as I do have some vintage pocket watches already, I looked closer to notice the word quartz on all the faces!
