zeo-mare Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) welcome to the " Auctions of Great Awesomeness (i hope that is a real word)" thread, the sister of the "auctions of great absurdity" thread. have you ever seen some really cool things on ebay or elsewhere that you wish you could just have, please post them here. here is one, a 16 foot hand built 1/72 model aircraft carrier, imagine taking all those jets off and placing your 1/72 Hasegawa's Vfs on there. 1/72 aircraft carrier.

Gabe Q Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I was thinking to myself, "This aircraft carrier isn't absurd. It's awsome!" We really needed this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress_Maximus Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) Quick show this to Godzilla or one of the other collectors with 40+ 1/48s!! Maybe they’d finally show their collection in all its glory! Come on, I know some of you guys talked about displaying your 1/48s… well here is your chance!

BoBe-Patt Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 yeah that air craft carrier just rocks!! Dayum it took him 19 years to build that sucker!?!? sheesh!! That's a whole lifetime of a accompishment. Why would you sell such a beauty? And did you guys read the way he wants to do shipping? Paid accomodations and ride to deliver the model himself so he can reattach it for you! damn that's crazy! That's gonna end up like an extra 500 bucks or so. sheesh! must be nice to be a high roller!

A 1/4 of a million US and the reserve is not met? WHo the hell would buy this sucker? Granted, it is certainly awesome, but can an ordinary guy afford that? No way!

kanata67 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 maybe a museum. I know the smithsonian air&space had a "super sweet" scale carrier on display. Friggin huge and friggin awsome, but not so much for the collector as it really needs to be seen by masses. anything awsome? Thats just asking for problems. Anybody catch the [5 minutes with my breasts] ebay auction a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORD KUNGFU Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 A 1/4 of a million US and the reserve is not met? WHo the hell would buy this sucker? Granted, it is certainly awesome, but can an ordinary guy afford that? No way! Extrodinary model pieces like this are not intended for ordinary people to afford. Thats like telling Ferarri or Lamborghini that there cars are to much for the average joe to afford. So if somebody cant afford this custom model, then there is always the Revell model that they can buy at a hobby shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody catch the [5 minutes with my breasts] ebay auction a while back They did and still do as far as i know. I had some pictures of it but i cant seem to find them now. It was detailed to the max. I forgot what carrier it was on top of that, it might have been the enterprise or it might have been the nimtz. It was about the same size as the one that the guy is selling in his auction but 250k is insane! Make mine a USS Flagg heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
