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
Flat Black was used to paint the woldings and rings around the masts. Mast tops, crosstrees and doublings were painted flat black also. Assembling the upper masts through the tops and crosstrees was difficult on all the masts. A lot of trimming with an exacto knife and cleaning up with a file and sanding stick was required to get all the parts to fit. The rat lines would not go through the holes in the tops, so I cut off the extensions below the deadeyes and at the top of the ratlines. Lots of super glue was used to attach them but after touching up the paint they look ok.
