You're a masochist, mate! Seriously!

@KpNuts - I feel your pain! I have lost a number of small bits over the years and only a tiny percentage have been recovered.

Hi all was about to start on the fore mast, but then thought I better sort all the lower stuff before going in an upwards direction.

So first I thought about the problem of doing the portholes heres my answer to getting them all in the right place.

Then to do the rudder.

Hi all started in an upwards direction, there is so much more to do on this mast.

At loss for words. So will review pictures while jaw is dropped.

I don't know how but this build needs to be displayed!

It's not something to just hide away in a cupboard!

I am totally confused with building the yards on this I dont know which bits to use the instructions are pretty much useless assuming you know what bits are what.

I've tried googling for detail of them and all the pics that come up are either too blurred to see or are from behind the mast help please anyone got a picture of the built yard on this kit.

kpnuts · « **Reply #90 on:** April 04, 2020, 02:50:30 AM »

Hi all added the first sails.

Wonderful! Only nine more yards to go.

I'll see myself out.

Nice work!

kpnuts · « **Reply #94 on:** April 05, 2020, 04:07:40 PM »

Ha ha that's only a start on the first yard loads more to do just on that.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #95 on:** April 05, 2020, 06:08:39 PM »

Yup, "nuts" by name, nuts by nature.

Hi all finished the first yard.

And before I get comments about the order I'm building this in I know it's not per instructions but hey they are pretty useless anyway.

I've added the first real sail.

I know it will get in the way of a lot of the rigging but I intend to tie it up out of the way temporarily. I know the lines from the base of the sail which go toward the stern will get in the way but I will leave them till last.

Apart from the instructions i really like this kit (yes I know it's not an accurate depiction of the Cutty Sark)

It will still be a lovely model of a clipper ship anyway.

kpnuts · « **Reply #97 on:** April 12, 2020, 01:57:52 AM »

Hi all bit more done got the coppering room done (changed the top door as using the kit one and adding the embellishments made the door ridiculously thick) and the central ward room also more rigging on the sail (probably doesn't even notice) but it's there

You cant really tell but some swearing was involved in the practically invisible rigging you cant even see on the sails.

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #98 on:** April 12, 2020, 05:40:08 AM »

You have added some very nice details to this model to make it look so much better.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #99 on:** April 12, 2020, 05:04:55 PM »

Wow! Coming along beautifully!
