I would be interested even if the size would be a bit hard to chew for me (would have to build a model of this size in the garage or garden under a gazebo. But in a smaller size like 1:75 I definitely would volunteer for a trial. I love the Cutty Sark and there is a nice model (with wrong hull design I guess) in 1:75, also the Revell 1:96 is a great size but I don´t really like the plastic kit, but there should be a wooden kit available somewhere though. Micha Artisania Latina has a 1:84 scale CS kit - perhaps a good 'compromise' scale to consider.

Richard Dunn Posted April 11 Author Share #123 Posted April 11 Currently I am not planning to produce this at any other scale than 1/40, as I said at the start this was a request for a single client and I merely wanted to put it out into the community in case any others wanted it in this scale as well. To produce this even at 1/48 would involve having to completely redo the 3d model and start from scratch again, not only is it a huge amount of work but I would have to charge my time and make an already expensive semi kit simply too much for most people. I am happy to do it at 1/40 though, any request, for this please pm from now on as the prototype is finished now and client has the model. I do want a minimum number of orders to make this viable and this is not the only site I have done a build on for this particular project. cajunrandy214 and Scottish Guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This model barely even looks like CS, wrong lines, out of scale features and planking just as start, I am not going to say anything else as most people are aware of this already. My kit is for people who want an accurate model. and are able to and prepared to do a lot of scratch building as well.

I hope Richard gets some pictures out and I´m still interested in it, even in the 1:40 scale (have to empty my garage for it somehow) but I would really love it.

The kit as far as it was required was complete, sorry I have not updated this build as much as others. I have not had time to plank the hull or deck yet as other paid work has come up. I will post some images soon Scottish Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s ok @Richard Dunn, we all have a life and that often sucks the life or energy out of us and much more often it has priorities that are more important than others. So don´t apologise for your life, it keeps you going. 3 minutes ago, Richard Dunn said: I will post some images soon Looking forward to see the progress. I sent you a pm about the project.

GrowlTiger2015 Posted October 14 Share #132 Posted October 14 Hi Richard Cutty Sark has long been a favourite of mine. When I was a very young man, I was given a Revel kit that I began assembling, all the while embellishing to make it more realistic. Unfortunately, it was accidentally destroyed. I started toying with the idea of a 1:50 scratch build. This was over thirty years ago. I started creating scale drawings using Harold Underhill’s drawings and reference material from Longridge’s book. Unfortunately, life got in the way. Lately, my interest has been re-kindled since seeing her in the UK a few years ago. My current thinking is to develop frames from a reliable 3D file, 3D print them, then plank then hull. My modelling software of choice is Autodesk Inventor. Would you be prepared to make your computer models available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
