rkre88 Posted June 7 #1 Posted June 7 Well, Christmas came early. This purchase wasn't supposed to show up until July. Bummer. Guess I will just have to get a head start on it. Just wrapped up an Academy model which had no flash. This is going to be a different story. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be though. Looking forward to working with something bigger. I have never done one this big before. Got the hull halves glued together. Making the stern look seamless is going to take some work. Any tips and tricks from this who have done this model are welcome. Here we go! ccoyle 1 Quote "Use the right word, not its second cousin." - Mark Twain Current builds: Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 Completed builds: Academy Cutty Sark 1:150
rkre88 Posted June 9 Author #2 Posted June 9 Dear Revell, Why?! Why did you feel the need to stamp your name on the TOP of the deck Sincerely, Ryan Quote "Use the right word, not its second cousin." - Mark Twain Current builds: Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 Completed builds: Academy Cutty Sark 1:150
rkre88 Posted June 12 Author #3 Posted June 12 Main deck, fore deck, and cabin roof painted. I weathered the fore deck by rubbing newspaper on it. Planning to continue that. You can see before and after in the picture where I stacked the fore deck on the main deck.

rkre88 Posted August 17 Author #5 Posted August 17 It has been some time since I updated. Got slammed with work, plus I am working on a different ship as a gift for a customer of mine. Hope to be back at it this Fall/Winter Quote "Use the right word, not its second cousin." - Mark Twain Current builds: Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 Completed builds: Academy Cutty Sark 1:150
Snug Harbor Johnny Posted August 17 #6 Posted August 17 (edited) Take your time, and measure twice - cut once. BTW, the early version of the kit are molded better (fit-wise, etc.) and don't have the Revell Logo on the deck ... I suppose one can skim the characters off and scribe a little wood grain to camouflage.

rkre88 Posted December 8 Author #7 Posted December 8 Back at it now. Finished a different build for a customer of mine. Here's the result of what was distracting me from the 1/96 project. Will post where I am at on the 1/96 asap. Quote "Use the right word, not its second cousin." - Mark Twain Current builds: Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 Completed builds: Academy Cutty Sark 1:150
Snug Harbor Johnny Posted December 8 #8 Posted December 8 Ahh, the 1:120 version - well thought of by many. I believe included was a second set of yard with the studding sail booms molded in the inward position. With the boom out, sails are recommended, Quote Completed builds: Khufu Solar Barge - 1:72 Woody Joe Current project(s): Gorch Fock restoration 1:100, Billing Wasa (bust) - 1:100 Billings, Great Harry (bust) 1:88 ex.

rkre88 Posted December 8 Author #9 Posted December 8 It's actually the 1/150 from Academy. Unfortunately on that kit the studdingsail booms and yards are molded as one piece with the yards. I am still relatively new to the hobby, so I have not really attempted sails yet Quote "Use the right word, not its second cousin." - Mark Twain Current builds: Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 Completed builds: Academy Cutty Sark 1:150
