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.4


I started the deck assembly by drilling out the holes for the eyebolts and rigging blocks with a small drill and a pin vise. The parts of the deck not being painted the deck color, were masked off. Testors Model Master Flat dark Tan was sprayed on from a spray can. I applied two coats for full coverage. According to the instruction sheet, I painted the hatch coamings and skylight base flat white. Dark brown was painted onto the floor of the cockpit and flat tan was drybrushed onto the grating.
