Taps for Lunar Models

Saturday, May 3, 2008 at 10:46AM

For those of you who build resin science fiction and space kits, this is not good news.  Lunar Models has announced that they will be closing their doors at the end of this month (May 2008) and will not be filling any more orders.

Noah's Ark from Minicraft Models

ArkBox_1s.jpg Despite being arguably the best known ship in recorded history, there have been precious few models of Noah's Ark, never mind a quality injected styrene kit.  Now, thanks to Minicraft Models, there is one.  Produced to "cubit scale", the box states that the finished model is 1/350th actual size, given the finished model's length of over 18 1/2".

No one knows what the Ark actually looked like, but the split hull, interior detail and construction options incorporated in this kit makes it suitable for use as a teaching aid in children's Sunday School classes. Or, if you prefer, a very interesting conversation piece when displayed on your bookcase. Price? $79.95.

Those of you whose primary interests lie with railroading, both prototype and modelwise, should have seen the Summer 2008 issue of Historic Rail hit your mailbox by now.  If not, call the number you see at the bottom of the photo and get on their mailing list.

This issue contains 64 pages crammed to the gills with models, art prints, videos, DVDs, T-shirts and other types of merchandise.  I'm not about to tell you what all's inside because that'd take all the fun away from you.  Just get your hands on a copy and enjoy.  Incidentally, if you don't have one yet, you can download a PDF copy from their website.
