cutty sark

Hull Planking I have not bothered recording the early construction stages: they follow the standard pattern of gluing bulkheads to a keel and adding decks. The first novelty (for me anyway) was the use of a single layer of hull planking: 2 x 5 mm sapele strips. This was far more satisfying than...

Hi all. This will be my first build log and will be of my 3rd model ship kit. I started this build back about a month ago and have only now thought to do a log. Not many photos have been taken up until this point. I will post the photos that I have up until today. I will then update you all as...

A while back I posted a log on the Heller HMS Victory I was working on, which I then parked in order to make the Revell Cutty Sark 1:96. The idea was to take a break from Vicrtory and work on something easier, preferably building more or less straight out of the box and being done and dusted in...

I will not be starting my next build for a while but I thought I would give it a “heads up” now that I have the kit in the shipyard. Part 1 - Start of a Long Voyage Choice of Kit - an Odd (or Familiar) Story? The windjammers/clippers from the mid to late 19th century have always...

I found a 1970's era Scientific model kit on E-Bay for only $ 15.00. Having completed the A/L kit I thought it would be fun to try.

As a brand new member to the forums of Ships of Scale I am trying to find my way on the site, which will take som time, I think. Actually I am building the 'Cutty Sark' out of the Sergal-collection. I intend to place photographs of other models I have built the last 40 years, but first I need to...

Just received the ‘Cutty Sark‘ kit and that will be my next project

I am progressing well, still without the Manufacturer Instructions, I have added some more photo.

Greetings Shipwrights, I'm finished with the first hull planking of my second ship build, the aforementioned Cutty Sark. This kit is older, probably made in the early 90s; differs from Mantua's current version in several aspects, as I've come to learn. I'll begin with pictures and description up...

This is my current build.

I started the model back in 2013 and it's still ongoing. It didn't come with sails so I built it for RC with twin screws and two tiny electric motors. As I progressed with the build I realized that with all the rigging there wouldn't be any way to get to the batteries and motors. So I decided to...

Since the level of detail a person may add and the availability and amount of research a person may chose to perform will vary with each modeler, the times I show are related to the actual work performed on the vessel. Each person’s ability to read and interpret plans can vary a great detail...
