For Sale: Ground Zero Games ESU fleet.

Painted ships (all GZG figs) include: 1 CVA 1 BD 2 BB 2 CH 2 CE 3 DD 3 CVT 2
SCT 6 Fighter stands (Kilos; 2 fighters per base) 1 converted CVL (I made it
before the "official" model came out) 1 converted CVE

Both conversions are very nice IMNSHO.

The ships are painted in a pseudo-"dazzle" pattern in black and white
and are probably an 8 out of 10. I can provide JPG's of the ships (including
the conversions) to anyone who's interested.

In addition to the painted ships are the following unfinished figs: 1 CVA 1 BD
1 "real" CVL 2 CH 1 CE 2 CL 3 DD 2 FF 2 CVT 2 packs of fighters (Kilos)

Some of the above figs are based, some I started painting, and some are
primed. The CVA and one pack of fighters are still in blisters.

Finally, are: 3 CG conversions; one of which is painted (BattleTech "Stalker"
torsos; rather nice I think) 2 Traveller Yachts (Torpedo cruisers? At least
that's what I'd planned to use them as). 1 Traveller SDB.

The total retail for the fleet (not counting the non-GZG figures which I

would include for free) is around $188. I would prefer to sell them all as one
group as half a fleet does me far less good than none.

I am taking offers, but I really wouldn't want to sell the lot for much less
than $200. Buyer would have to pay shipping (probably c. $15 since there'd be
a lot of volume with all the padding needed to ship that many painted

ships w/o. chipping...) and I would want to recieve payment first unless
I have traded with you in the past. I have a number of trading references

that I could happily provide.

And, of course, please respond off list if you're interested.

Vale,

Assuming these are in the US, is anyone in the US interested in just the
unpainted at face value, either whole or part? I'd handle shipping and
transshipping, should I come to an understanding with John.

John, are all the HC's Gorshkov's, and the DD's Warsaw's? I'm
assuming so, but hope can be a terrible task master. ;->= And,

I might be interested in the unpainted stuff if you want the painted (and
assuming someone else hasn't already spoken for them:)

For Sale: Ground Zero Games ESU fleet.

My apologies for taking up the bandwidth... Last time I posted this I got a
lot of responses and I had to tell some people that the fleet was all but
sold. And, of course, it's not. Everyone that had made offers has dropped from
the scope, and I deleted the email from some interested parties as I figured
that 3 interested people would assure that at least one would end up with it
but no. So I'm again posting this very nicely painted ESU fleet.

And please, if you contact me about the fleet and then decide that you are not
interested, just let me know. There's nothing more annoying than to have the
person you're dealing with simply vanish.

Painted ships include (prorated retail price): 1 CVA (9.50) 1 BD (8.50) 2 BB
(17) 2 CH (7.50) 2 CE (6.50) 3 DD (6.50) 3 CVT (5) 2 SCT (3.25) 6 Fighter
stands [Kilo class; 2 fighters per base] (6.50) 1 converted CVL [I made it
before the "official" model came out] (9.50) 1 converted CVE (7.50) 1 "CG"
[made from a BattleTech "Stalker" mech torso]

Both conversions are very nice IMNSHO.

The ships are painted in a pseudo-"dazzle" pattern in black and white
and are painted to an 8 out of 10. I can provide JPG's of the ships (including
the conversions) to anyone who's interested.

The total retail for the fleet (not counting the non-GZG figures which I

would include for free) is around US$88.

I'll take reasonable offers, but I really wouldn't want to sell the lot for
much less than $100.

That's like getting all the paint jobs for about $12! And if you look at

them, you'll realize that's a steal!

Buyer would have to pay shipping and I would want to receive payment first
unless I have traded with you in the past, or your ITL listing is substantial
and "clean".

Vale,

I feel very sure I'll want to buy them. Please send me a pic ASAP and we can
work somethign out. This is exactly the fleet I've been looking at buying and
I too love dazzle painting my ships. I've twice picked up ESU blisters
recently just to put them back saying I don't have time to paint another
fleet. This will solve that problem. Please let me see some pics and will then
be willing to make an offer.

Do you use PayPal?

Also, if we make a deal, I'd love to have them maybe sent overnight or make
sure they can make it to me by say Sat. morning - I'll pay the shipping.
Would that be a problem for you?

Thanks again,

A
