I posted on BritModeller in the maritime section and they suggested this might be a good place to ask for some general tips and advice on this ship. Having visited this ship alot as a kid and my parents still living nearby my goal is to create a nicely detailed model.
I've built railway models in various scales and mediums (resin, plastic, brass, etc.) but only a few scale models, most recently a HMS Dreadnought. I'm not super-fussed about 100% prototypical accuracy but I'm happy to scratchbuild components as neccesary.
I have ordered the C. Longridge books on the Cutty Sark and they'll form some charming bedtime reading, but I'm also eager to get started. As such - I would really appreciate if anyone had any hints or tips which apply particularly to the early stages of construction.
I understand HISMODELER provide a laser cut deck, CNC blocks and various sails - but I'm not sure if these are required or recommended?
