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 braces are installed last so as not to damage the previously installed rigging. As I stated earlier, the instructions a not clear on the running rigging. I looked up rigging for this period in some books I have and rigging instructions from other models. I think it's fairly accurate. The blocks for this kit are also weird. Instead of blocks, oval shape rings are used. I found it easier to tie the attachment threads on with the rings still on the spru. I usually have a pile of remnants when I get done rigging. This part of the model was done over a period of about 2 weeks.
