Pirate ship Revell 1/72, H.M.S. Victory Revell and Cuty Shark - all my older plastic production

A very nice set of ships! Congratulations.
I built the Cutty Sark myself around 50 (Yes 50!) years ago - It made into a very nice model.
She's long gone (to a good home)

I also built the cuttysark when I was about 20 years old myself. I am now 62.

Now we have one more thing in common. It is funny because when I am looking at it it is far from even good. I thought about repainting it, doing a little rework on it. But then I thought why? It is perfect as it is. I remember how difficult it was in that time. How complex it looked. It is pretty similar with how I found out the complexity of wooden models. The plastic starting to seem like being very easy. Do not take me wrong. I had bunch of fun doing all my plastic builds. When I am modeling everything has to go outside. I need to focus on that particular thing. I do not feel the time flowing. I even dreamed during last night that I had already the AMS kit at home and started the build. It was very exiting.
