Welcome to my Web 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
Flags and Nameplate
The only flag that comes with the kit is the jolly roger pirate flag. Since this ship will be built as a British frigate, I needed a Union Jack. The best one I had on hand was in an unbuilt kit of the HMS Prince. This ship is from an earlier period and the jack needed some updating. After making a copy of the Princes' flag sheet, I used colored pencil to update the union jack. White glue was used to cement it around the flag staff.
