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

Place the foil over the base.....



Place the foil over the base, it doesn’t matter which side is up, and trace the outline of the base into the foil with your finger. Lift the foil from the base and flip it over. Masking off the sides of the base will prevent sloped over cement from spoiling the appearance of the base. Apply contact cement to bottom surface of the foil and the top of the base. Contact cement gives off pretty strong ,flammable fumes and should be used only with very good ventilation. I use this stuff out in the garage to be safe.
