Welcome to my Web site

Welcome to my website. This site is for folks who build or would like to build plastic model ships. I’ve been building ship models for many years and I still get as much enjoyment from the hobby as I did when I started. If you are an occasional modeler, serious modeler or if you’ve been away from the hobby for awhile and are coming back, I think you will enjoy this site.

I chose Revells’ Cutty Sark as the launch project because there are a large number of these kits out there in closets, attics and modelers collections, waiting to be built. Also, this kit builds into a pretty impressive ship model, no matter where the modelers’ skill level is.

The plan is for this site to grow over time, featuring a different model about every month. Previous models will be archived for reference and new visitors to the site. As you may have already noticed, this site is written in a blog foremat with the latest post on top and previous posts in decending order. I hope that modelers will find this website enjoyable and useful and will visit often……………..John

HMS Rodney in 1/700 scale


The HMS Rodney and her sister ship HMS Nelson are very unique looking battleships with their 3 main battery turrets located ahead of the superstructure. The superstructure itself is located quit a bit aft of the center of the ship. This is a 1/700 scale Tamiya kit and as usual it is very well molded with sharp and crisp detail. I also ordered a photo etched detail set from gold medal models to complete the model. I decided to build the Rodney in her pre-war configuration, painted light gray.
