David G. Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Brilliant work on this! It's a shame about spilling the tray of bits, were you able to recover them all? I guess it may be difficult to know for certain until you near completion. Thank you for continuing to share your progress. David G.

Bugatti Fan Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Nice build.  The Cutty Sark, a stalwart for ship modellers. Plenty of plastic and wooden kits available and plenty of books and references including the ship itself at Greenwich. To anyone contemplating building a model of the ship, the very best set of plans available are the George Campbell drawings available from the Cutty Sark Trust.

cobraman Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 That is a good looking ship. Couple years ago or so I was on a wood boat/ship kits. They are tough. As I recall I believe you gave me some great tips to help me get through them. The toughest wood kit, well of any kit has got to be the kit of the old Russian submarine I built. I never thought I would get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 More work on this one, did some more to the sails rigging and made a start on the rear boats station. The supports for the rear boat station are too short (we'll in fact the first one is too short as the ship is wider there so I had to widen the gunwale to accommodate it.

kpnuts Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hi all I promise I've not given up on this, that ships boat I can only do one plank a day as I have to wait for the glue to dry.

Bugatti Fan Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Looks huge Ken. How long is it, and what is the kit like? Certainly looks like you are doing a really good build of this particular subject! Worth buying a dedicated display case for it when finished.
