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

Bow Sprit and Mast Assembly


The bowsprit was glued together, the seam cleaned up and painted white. After test fitting it to the bits, I had to whittle down the square end, that fits into the bits, to get it to fit correctly. the mast halves were clamped together and cemented with liquid cement. After this dried, I cleaned up the seam first with a file and then medium and fine sanding sticks. The sail hoops were painted Testors Wood and the masts were painted Testors Flat Brown.
