discussion Revell 1\96 Cutty Sark.....Now Resumed

[peterairfix]

I couldn't wait to get started on this one at at a scale of 1\96 its just shy of one metre or 36” in old money for its age it has great detail on it.


So here's what I have done the main hull is together and almost painted and the three deck sections are finished and hope they look OK.

Well done Peter this is looking good, especially the wood  effect on the decking. I am looking forward to see the rigging, or should i not mention it?

Looking good so far.  If you need a rigging plan, the Cutty Sark museum have plans for the boat.  http://shop.rmg.co.uk/cutty-sark/books/cutty-sark-plans.html
