I am a recent arrival to this sight. I came looking for a forum on building the BB Cutty Sark. Found it in the excellent build of Domcee. Now it is time to get my own Cutty Sark project underway. This is all part of a cunning plan to ease into retirement. Little steps and so far so good. Mine is a new kit but nothing much has changed since Domcee opened his older kit. Maybe the laser cutting is improved. Same plastic blocks and deadeyes. That is going to grind my gears so the budget may have to run to wooden replacements. Like wise the plastic ships boats. At this stage the basic hull frame is assembled and that went together very easily. Now the decking and my first hiccup. Decking strips were supposed to be 3 x 0.7 according to the parts list. Unfortunately it is more like 3x 0.35 to 0.45. I don't like my chances of keeping the lines straight on such a long deck so I have order 4x1 from Modellers Central. I have found the excellent video series by John Allaprantis for this build so I'm feeling reasonably confidant. What could possibly go wrong.
I shall try and maintain a build log on here. We will see how it all goes.
