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

More Hull

Model Master Dark Ghost Grey was painted on the hull, this is very close to haze grey. The darkening around raised relief did not work out as nice as I had hoped but looks OK. I dry brushed some Model Master Light Grey to highlight raised areas. Masked off the boot topping with Tamya masking tape and painted Testors Flat Black. I decided to finish all of the hull assembly at this time and install the photo etched railings. It is easier to do this now, before the flight deck is installed, but there is more risk of knocking them off during later stages of assembly. I think it's worth the risk though.
