Beta Builder for USS Passaic

**APA-168** · #1 03-06-2009, 09:52 PM

I need a beta builder for my USS Passaic kit due to be released (hopefully) later this month. Only requirment is it needs to be done by April 1. I have engineered this kit to be easy on the novice, it is very detailed and advanced, but it has optional parts for the beginner (like me!) so don't be afraid! The scale is 1/250 as usual, and the kit is waterline. I SHOULD have a preliminary version ready for beta building within a week, BUT I make no promises since I have a habit of sticking my foot in my mouth. Let me know!

Oh, and Monitor is FINALLY ready for release, I am just waiting to finish up a couple others before releasing it. I know its been a long wait, but I promise it will be worth it. I've tried to make this the most accurate and detailed Monitor kit on the market, I don't know if I've succeeded (David Hathaway's kit might take the accuracy ribbon...) but it was fun and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!

Hey my friend, I'll take a crack at it if you want. And I will try and have it done for you by your time date. So, just go ahead and send it to me if you want me to do it. My best.

Chris-Monitor is incoming tomorrow! Still not happy with the instructions, but at least they're better than the Ares...

Dennis, I'll get you the Monitor files at the same time, and I'll send along the Passaic ASAP.

I plan a release tomorrow so make sure I get them early enough....

I am taking the car in for some emergency service but I am prtty sure they have a free wireless connection there

If they dont, I will work on my design skills!
Thanks!
Chris

Good job Avery. Got the new files. The only thing I would comment on is the pic's for the instructions. They are very light and I could not see them on my moniter, but could make them out after I printed. If you can make them a little darker would be great for everyone. Over all very nice job, and the graphics are great. Will start working on a build report soon, and I will post here under builds, for everyone to see how nice this model is. My best, Dennis.

Avery was kind enough to let me test his model of the USS Passaic. Here are two shots of the still unfinished model. It went together well, any mistakes visible are my fault.
I will post the photos of the finished model as soon as possible.
Avery, thanks again for this one and I am looking forward to test more of your Civil War warships
