That is just extraordinary

Wot ‘e said!

This kit is in my stash as well, so I’ll follow along with interest too. Looks like you’re off to a great start so far, Bradley.

John,

Do you have the complete instructions for this? I ask because I too have built this Orrery and had no difficulty with getting things to go together correctly. If you do not have them, I can send you a PDF copy of them.

Very nicely done John. You can be justifiably proud of a fine model.

Happy Birthday Andrew! More meticulous work I see - looking fabulous.

Sorry to hear of your back pain issues Nenad, but glad to see you back posting again. Hope your health continues to improve.

Hello Jay and welcome to MSW. You’ll find a strong contingent of us Aussies here. You’ve joined a very friendly and supportive forum too. There are plenty of build logs for your Cutty Sark here, so a wealth of information from those who have trodden your particular path before. Please do start your own build log too - you will find it the most valuable tool in your toolbox.

Very nice work so far Andrew. Thanks for taking the time to provide so much detail in how you have approached the build - I’m sure it will be helpful to many, me included as I have this kit in my stash. I’ll continue to follow your build with interest.

Great progress Bill - planking so far looks really good.

Very nice work Ryland. I must get back to mine soon, having had a month away doing other projects.

Neat solution Chris. 👍

I got my first shot today at the Texas Motor Speedway as provided by my county.  Very efficient and fast.

What else would you expect at a Speedway, Glenn? 🤣🤣🤣

That is some really beautiful joinery there Dave!

I’ll pull up a chair for this one too Bill. The Chris Craft boats truly are things of beauty and watching your scratch build looks to be a fascinating journey. Have you considered making this a “working” model (ie by adding RC to it)?

Very nice joinery Dave!

Looking really nice Glenn!

Looking good Chris - nice to see her right way up again!

So sorry to hear your sad news Doris. As others have said, you have made a beautiful model that your husband would have been proud to see you complete.

So nice to see you back working on your lovely model Daria. The time lapse video was a good idea too - now we can see that you really are doing all the hard bits and just leaving Dad to do the easy bits!

Hi Dib01,

You are in luck! I just happen to have scanned the instructions when I was building the kit as I didn’t want to work from the originals. If you send me a Private Message (PM) with your email address, I’ll send you a PDF copy of them. I do also still have a spare copy of the lithograph (which you will need for constructing the wings). I’d have to post that one via snail mail, but I’m sure we could work that out too.

Great work Sea Hoss. She’s looking more lovely with every update.

Great, simple solution Dave. What’s that old saying about the best solutions are often the simplest?

Nice work on the planking.

Congratulations on yet another fine build B.E. Your meticulous attention to detail really raises the bar for the rest of us.
