Revell 24 inch Cutty Sark.

[billt]

I recenly bought a Revell kit of the Cutty Sark off ebay on a whim.  Model number H368.  This is the 24 inch version of the model.    I've seen quite a few pictures of smaller models ( mostly wood) and the larger 1/96 (3 ft) model.  I like the size of the model.   24 inches is large enough to show detail but not so large as to dominate the whole room. Has anyone built this kit? Looking for pics and pointers.

 

Thanks

I think it was mine as well, and I made the sails from cloth.  Went together quite well.

Thanks for the feedback.  I don't plan to use the  plastic sails either. I might attempt adding a wood deck since I'm not very good at painting.  Looked at the Scaled deck website and they don't offer one at this scale.

Do you plan to open build log?

[billt]

I don't know about a build log for the 24 inch model. It is more for practice.  I was thinking I might for some of the wood models I'm planning to build at some point.

Give it a try, with more eyes watching and asking, and with your sharing dilemmas, you can learn fast

 

Why not?

Nenad is right, Bill.  A build log will get you help fast.  We do have quite a few plastic and card logs so wood is not the only medium.
