Keith, Your last post just points out that we guys have a reason for saving "stuff" that the Admiral thinks should be binned. I'm printing it out just in case.....

Greg, I love the oil canning. Tedious but effective. On the brass deck, I'm not familiar with brass decks but would roughing up the surface a bit with some extremely fine sandpaper or steel wool work? I had to do that once on a metal car model.

Looks good Mike. Also appears to be either battle damage or a careless member of the ground crew put his foot through the wing. I had my share of those back itne days of my trying flying models.. easy fix though.

Well... there is a certain theme music I hear when I looked at those blaste... err... guns.

Just wow! After only seeing bits and pieces, I had no idea....

Hello Sargon.

The removal of decorations from English ships wasn't a performance or weight issue. It was about costs of the decorations and maintenance.

Snow, For bit more, but from a different perspective there's: The Billy Ruffian by David Cordingly. The book is about the Bellerophon and covers it's part in Trafalger as well as other battles. I'm sure there's more as was said above that much has been written.

If you don't have a plank bender, use an old curling iron. A note of caution... do not under any circumstances use the Admiral's (your wife or girlfriend's, significant other). If they have an old one, buy them a new one and then procure the old one.

From the bird's eye view, very convincing.

Your "suspension", as such, sounds like the old single leaf spring on the early Fords... transverse from wheel to wheel.

Check with Marisstella as I thought his company bought their product line after the fire. I might be wrong. -
Supernice, Patrick. I hope you add some clear glazing around it to protect everything.

Damn.. bastards strike again. By all means, PM the moderators. If they ban the kit from MSW, it might give you some leverage, like royalties for removing the ban. Who would have thought they would pull a Chinese....

Do a search for Cutty Sark in the builds section. You should get the build logs and you can see what others have done. i'm not familiar with the model so searching is what I'd do.

Rats... I worked for the wrong company. Ours accumulated to 30 days. If you had more, you either had to cash out, give it to someone who needed it, or lose it. Most folks lost it. I gave mine to people who needed it as was done when I needed it.
