hey Robert
I think it's a brilliant idea to build Ferreira and not Cutty sark. I've even had the idea to do it with my model of the Cutty Sark but relented when I had to make ornamatikken and name plate. and now I'm a little annoyed that I can not make a real time image of the ship from the many pictures that exist of "Cutty Sark" at the time, so what I ended up with is many details just not at the same time.
My model is Billing Boats 459 Cutty Sark,
I'm almost done with the ship's hull - I am about to build lifeboats now.
I will probably make a building log at a time. if there is interest in it?
Cheers
Jens
