    Quite an array of yards! As with any stage in a model of this type, it's easy to be overwelmed by all the major tasks involved in the model's completion. But you're making great progress, judging by your build log. I look at it as taking bite size pieces and before long another stage of the build is complete! All the best going forward! Peter

    Congratulations on your very fine Cutty Sark! A thing of beauty to be sure. Good to see it under glass and well protected from dust and inquisitive fingers.😉

    Just amazing what you have done to add such fine detail to your Cutty Sark! I visited the CS in 1998 before the fire. At the time the model was not really on my radar. I would love to see her again, despite the new arrangements of her display. An elegant example of the evolution of the ship. Your model is also a prime example of what can be accomplished in this amazing hobby! Looking forward to your rigging efforts! All the best, Peter

    Truer words have not been said! Your ten points should be included in every model ship kit. Thanks for the insights Jared! Peter

    Congratulations Jared on your fine model. A real accomplishment for sure! Time to splice that mainbrace! Cheers, Peter

    An amazing piece of work Rick. A stunning model so far. And the pictures really show off your workmanship. Peter

    Hi Rob. I find this scale manageable but 1:96 scale would be too challenging for me. I also have a frigate in 1:75 scale which I would love to display next to CS but I’m getting ALOT of pushback from a certain someone about the so called clutter of ship models around the house. Girls….😉
  21. petervisser
    Hi Rob. It is the Billing 1:75 kit of a rather old vintage produced in the 70’s I’m guessing. The scale is hiding in the title of the log.😉 Thanks for looking in. Cheers, Peter

    After tying about 900 clove hitches to complete the ratlines, the model is ready for the last phase of rigging. Phew! I can now begin rigging the braces at last. What with the hot weather here in Victoria, my workshop which is semi-sub ground level is one of the coolest rooms in the house. This has allowed me to work on the model, despite the sunny weather. Here's a photo showing the current status...

    Like you I am starting to do minor repairs to my model as the project nears the end. What with the complexity and vastness of the rigging it is so easy to snag yards and rigging when concentrating on another aspect of the model. Nice save with your predicament! I am also nearing the stage of installing the braces to the yards and now that I have seen yours, I'm getting antsy to start mine! All the best with the finishing touches, she looks great! Peter

    Wowser, that is a stunning wheel. An excellent addition to an excellent model. Way to go! Peter
  25. petervisser
    Looking really good! I think the chain really adds some character to the rigging. Are you adding sails to your model? I'm guessing not, as the yards are attached to the masts already. All the best going forward. Peter

    Hi HOF. Just saw your latest post and see that you're rigging anchors. You might want to take a look at Prince de Neufchatel by Coyote_6 – Constructo – 1/58 scale - American privateer. I ran across his build log and he has rigged his just recently. I will be following his procedure which appears to me as being the most accurate method. Cheers, Peter
  27. petervisser
    Thanks Steve, for the mini tutorial on how to stow an anchor. I was pondering how I might mount the anchors on my own model, and presto, I ran across your build log. Cheers, Peter
