Title: future kit survey
Post by: builditright on March 13, 2006, 11:10:43 AM

Awhile back before I moved to Florida I received permission to do a kit but never got around to it.

Now that I am going to do the Trophy Trainer and received such a large number of requests for it I was wondering if anyone would seriously be interested in the Colossus ?

Please keep in mind I will not do any kit unless I get enough serious orders for them.

Iam interested in the Trainer kit and might be interested in the Colossus.  What does it look like?

I vaguelly recall the Colossus by name only, but can't picture the design from memory. Can you post a photo/or a link to a picture? I'm looking for something different to build.

Robert, do you have a picture of the Colossus? I seem to have lost it when my old computer took a permanent vacation :'(

For anyone who doesn't know it, Walter makes outstanding kits.  ;)

I like most did not know how great Walter's Kits were until I got the original Silhavy Magician kit from him.  Sorry Walter, but, the Collossus is too big for me.   DOC Holliday

That's ok

The Colossus will not be for everyone, this is why I am doing a survey now.

and B.T.W.

Thanks for the kudos guys, they are appreciated.

I don't have the specs on this right now but I do know it is larger than a 40 ship
