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
The hull is one molded piece and is pretty clean except for a seam along the center line which was easily cleaned up with some 320 sandpaper followed by 600 sandpaper. Small sinkholes at each side of the bow were easily filled and sanded smooth. I plan to mount this model on a wood base when complete. So I drilled a hole in the bottom, large enough for a 10-32 screw and cemented a nut in place with 5 min. epoxy. I cemented all the main deck sections in place with liquid cement. All three sections fit great. A small gap at the bow was filled with white glue applied with a toothpick. This is a difficult area to fill with putty and sand, so some white glue applied sparingly does the trick.
