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

Painting the hull and deck



I painted the hull, casements and all deck details with two coats of Polly scale Light Gray acrylic. After the gray dried I painted the deck with Polly scale deck Tan Acrylic, FS1735.I've found the best way to paint a part that is busy with details to paint the raised relief detail first. The lower area of the deck is painted next so I can push or flow the paint up to the raised areas. Two coats of deck tan were needed to get full coverage. This is typical for Acrylic paints.
