1250Ships News
November 2011
Welcome
to our revised web site. If you are looking for the
"old" 1250Ships.com a bit of explaination.
A year ago we sold the majority of the business to Morning
Sunshine Models. They are now running our shopping
cart software package and have on offer thousands of
1/1250 scale models. Go check them out.
Part
of the deal was that we would continue to produce and
offer our California Models and 1250 Models lines. In
addition we are still the US source for Sea Vee models.
With
the limited nature of the business we no longer are
running a shopping cart system and no longer offer the
ability to directly take credit card payments. All ordering
will be via email and payment through Paypal. You can
use Paypal balances or a credit card to pay our Paypal
invoices.
All
of our current inventory is now listed on the site.
In most cases one or two photos have been posted. Many
items have only 1 or 2 copies left and all orders are
subject to availability- first come, first served.
As
of November 3rd we have in stock over 40 different Sea
Vee models. Many of these have been sold out for years.
We also have copies of some of our 1250 Models releases
that have also been out of stock for many years. These
came from the collection of Norm Johnson of Stockton,
California who passed away earlier this year. The majority
of these models are still sealed in there original boxes.
This a great chance to pick up some very hard to find
models.
Last
month we released our latest California Models releases
of the Great Lakes freighters Arthur M Anderson and
William Clay Ford in their as built configurations.
Limited number are in stock now at $70 plus shipping
each. These are two of the eight AAA class lake freighters
built in the 1950s. We will do more liveries covering
sister ships plus versions of the ships as lengthened
straight deckers and as they were eventually modified
with self-unloading booms.
