Hi guys! This is my first post and While I'd like to build my first wood ship to be of the Cutty Sark, I'd like to make the second thethermopylae. I know Mantura makes a thermopylae ship but it on the smaller side for me, which is odd cause I love building 1/700 scale ships. But I was thinking of going big with the 1/78 scale Cutty and then get another for my thermopylae. Can this be done? What sites and books for research do you guys recommend? Also could the 1/78 Cutty sark be used to make any other famous clippers? Ariel? Teaping? Sir Lancalot? Firey Cross? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!
First post!! :) Tea Clipper research and it possible to build other Tea clipper from the Cutty Sark model???

Thank you guys!! I order one book so far, Clipper Ships and the Golden Age of Sail by Sam Jefferson. But know I know what books to really look for. This is the 1:78 Cutty Sark that I am looking at for a base kit. http://victoryshipmodels.com/ship-model-cutty-sark-wooden-static-kit-sergal-fast-clipper-greenwich.html. Is there one better?? What about the Artesania Latina ship model kits?? And lastly you guys mention photo-etch and upgrades...are the upgrades more readily available for the smaller scale ships?? If that's the case I may go that route as there's a HUGE price difference.. But price aside.. If there is multiple PE sets and upgrades along with more details and accuratcies in the larger kits then I'll go that route.
