bill mckee Posted March 9 #1 Posted March 9 I purchased a Billing Boats Cutty Sark 459 kit 35-40 years ago and resurrected it last January. I am getting to a point where I have to think about rigging but there are no instructions with this kit other than a couple of drawings. However I need more detail in several areas than is provided on these drawings - ie connections via dead eyes to the deck; rigging connections at the masts; connection parts to the deck etc. In the days I purchased the kit, a fixture kit was a separate item which I didnt know at the time. I have tried Billing with little success; I have received some information via Billing Boats FB group and some other chat groups. Ant suggestions would be greatly received. Bill Quote
Antonio Vasquez Posted March 10 #2 Posted March 10 http://seymore-thecuttysark-abuildlog.blogspot.com/ this is the rigging for a Revell model of the Cutty Sark. Maybe you can get some information off of it. mtaylor 1 Quote

bill mckee Posted March 10 Author #8 Posted March 10 Thank you for your information - I was extremely fortunate on receiving Vol 1 & 2 of The Cutty Sark by Longridge. I acquired this through a Facebook Group on Billing Boats where a generous modeler sent me these books along with The Cutty Sark Pocket Manual. mtaylor 1 Quote
