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

Hull and deck fitting Pt.1


After removing the hull halves from the spru trees, I trimmed the nubs from the spru and test fit the halves together. The biggest obstacles to a perfect fit were the ejector pin marks along the inside of the keel and interference between two deck supports near the bow. The ejector pin marks don't look like much but they prevent the hull halves from coming together if not removed. They were removed with some wet 320 sandpaper. The corners of the interfering deck supports were trimmed off, problem solved.
