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
After installing the parts for the chain plates, there was no way I could get the thread for the chain plates through the holes. To solve this problem I cut small lengths of thin wire, super glued them through the holes and trimmed away the excess. I'll have to figure out a different way to attach the shrouds when I get that far. I assembled the remaining cannons and installed them with super glue. After touching up the paint where needed, I used Flat Clear acrylic to go over the glossy places created by the super glue. I decided to leave off the small parts like the stern lantern and swivel guns for now to prevent them from being broken during the remaining assembly steps.
