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

Assembling the Superstructure Pt.2


I needed to add more windows to the super structure and the best way to do that is with decals. I had on hand a decal sheet for 1/144 airliner windows. These were applied using photos of the Rouen and her sister ship Rosario as guides. Windows on the bridge sides were from the Arizona PE set.I also had some PE life rings on hand which I glued on. I thought using a decal to cover the entire funnel was a bad idea so I just painted it flat black and masked off the orange stripe and painted that too.
