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 yardarm attach points are usually too small to fit around the mast, so I use a round file to open it up. I've found my own way to rig running rigging that is different from the methods normally shown by kit instructions. I start by installing the inside running rigging first. On this model the spanker gaff rigging was first. For the yards, I install one yard at a time starting with the topmost mizzen yard and install its running rigging but not the braces. I work my way down the mast this way, then move to the main mast and again work from the top down installing the rigging one yard at a time until done.
