Cutty Sark photo etch

[shipman]

Does anyone produce a photo etch fret for the Revell 1:96 Cutty Sark kit? Specifically the bow and stern decoration. Chicken coops etc would be nice. I'm also trying to find deadeyes smaller than 3mm. I can find 3 and 4mm.

 

If anyone is interested; I've just acquired some sublime scale stanchions (two and single ball), plus stainless rail to suit and some incredibly small blackened chain (42 links per inch!). All from Keith at mteam@modellingtimbers.co.uk. He does a bunch of nice stuff, check him out.

Radek ship models in the Czech Republic (www.hismodel.com) has a photoetch set for the bow and stern decoration.  Specific link for this product:

www.hismodel.com/articles-detail-387.  $7.37 USD

 

They also have many other great products for ship models.

dlock3155, thanks for that, it sounds just what I'm looking for. Unfortunately the address you give doesn't work as a hotlink, or a direct e-mail and nothing when I google it.

I'd like to get there, but can't.

I went to the site,  and I found that a new site has taken it's place.   they will send you here.

[shipman]

Thanks popeye, I found the new site. Just started browsing through it but have only found sails and flags. It's 00.40 here so I'm off to the Land of Nod, but will continue tomorrow.

My best wishes to all responders. I'll let you know how I get on.

I think this is what you might be looking for

They also have a set for the Thermopylae:

I have bought from them in the past and they were very reliable. Many hard to find items available.

 

Good luck

[popeye the sailor]

too bad they don't have them in the same scale as the Thermopylae that I'm building.  they look very good.......doesn't have the depth markers though.....odd.   the decals in the kit.......with the exception for kit's made by Revell/Germany (they seem to be bringing back these older kits},  you'll have to watch out for them.  they may be old and micro cracking might be a problem.  is this why your looking for them in photo etch?

[lmagna]

I may have had another senior moment Denis. I thought your Thermopylae was the 1/96 Revell kit?

[shipman]

Thanks guys, for your help finding the CS stuff I was looking for.

Anyone any feedback on their 'rope', blocks and deadeys?

[puckotred]

For blocks I would buy here: http://clasicmodel.com/shop/index.php?route=common/home

 

And rope here:http://www.modellbau-takelgarn.de/englisch/

[shipman]

'puckotred, thanks for that, both suppliers look good, though the rope site seems a little mysterious to navigate.

Again, thanks to everyone's responses to my questions.

Why is this in the build logs?

[shipman]

Hi Peter Y.

to be honest, this originally began as questions/answers to posts in the build logs.

If the moderator wishes to re-locate this thread elsewhere, I have no objection.

That would be like moving from Humberside to East Yorkshire. The same but different.

My best wishes to you.

[shipman]

Popeye, I'm going for the photo etch instead of using the decals because the ships decorations are raised carvings. The photo etch is a bit more realistic and a no brainer for the price.

Scale Warship makes sets of photo etched for the Academy Cutty Sark kit.

Also Revell's Vasa, Airfix Victory and even for the little Airfix Mary Rose kit.

 

It would be nice if someone did a set of photo etched for the Airfix Cutty Sark kit as it must be the most readily available appearing in their catalogue year on year.

Thinking about it Revell's Vasa appears to have been taken out of production, but the Airfix one still shows in their current catalogue. The Revell one is 1/150th scale and the Airfix Vasa is 1/144th scale. Little between them so wondered if the Scale Warship Revell photo etched sets could be used on the Airfix kit too?
