Hi Peter,
Just like you I have purchased a Cutty Sark, the same model as you and part built. Unlike you I am not a master modeller so I will be following your progress with great interest - I have learned a lot already.
i have a few questions if you would would be so kind to spare me the time,
1. Where did you get your Accessory Kit 1080 from - I'm in the UK
2. You cleverly pegged the planking after pinning - what did you use for these very fine pegs?
3. I am planning on tapering the planks, which I don't think is part of the instructions and I cannot see how to make the stern end neat - any advice would be helpful.
4. I too am planning to copper it and tape seems better than the tiles as the CS does not show the rivets - how did you put the tiling effect on and is there an special pattern to that.
I am sure that there will be more questions to come, so please indulge me.
Malcolm
