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 kit

Today I picked up a Revell USS Hornet kit in 1/530 scale. This is a reissue of a very old kit. I remember seeing them in stores when I was just a kid. The plastic inside is the same even though the kit has been marketed as other ships including Essex and Wasp. I have also built this kit a few years ago as the Shangri-La. A good friend of mine from the navy spent time aboard the Yorktown so I plan to build this as CVS-10. Gold Medal Models makes a photoetched detail set with some nice touches like radars and railings that I'll be using.
