Bluntysmodels Posted April 20, 2021 #1 Posted April 20, 2021 Hi. I have just joined Model Ship World. I am currently building the Artesania Latina Cutty Sark. This is my second wooden model kit, the first was the Constructo Albatross and I learned a lot and made many mistakes on that build. I am following the kit instructions and I am building just for my own satisfaction and fun. I really am not obsessed with total historical accuracy as long as the final result looks OK. I started the Cutty Sark in February and am progressing well. I have my own blog on blogspot, which I really just started for myself to record my progress. Not sure if I want to add one on here as well. I have hit a few snags on the way, not least the fairly vague instructions from AL. So one reason for joining is to get tips from more experienced model builders. I am also waiting for replacement parts as there was a missing pre-cut sheet, and a duplicate of another one. Unfortunately shipping from HK to UK is at least 8 weeks atm. The missing sheet means I have quite a few part made deck fittings waiting to be finished. Looking forward to participating in this forum and both learning and hopefully being able to also contribute. Pete Ryland Craze, ccoyle, Harvey Golden and 3 others 6
bruce d Posted April 20, 2021 #2 Posted April 20, 2021 Hello Bluntsymodels, and a warm welcome to MSW from Sussex. What you have posted looks good, it seems you know how to overcome problems. Hope you start a build log, that is fine even if you are already well into the build. It may be useful to the next modeller who tackles that kit. 😉 Bruce Keith Black and mtaylor 2 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold
