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 Painting and Assembly Pt.6


The instruction sheet says to glue eyebolts into the holes in the deck for the blocks to tie onto. I use a different method. Instead of eyebolts into the holes, I place a piece of thin wire through the eye of the block, twist it into a pigtail and trim it to a little over 1/4 inch. The pigtail is inserted through the hole in the deck, bent back and secured with super glue. I think this is a much neater and stronger installation. The same method was used to attach the bullseyes on the bow of the model before the deck was installed.
