    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    No, they are not that accurate. I took the supplied template and made them in Corel Draw, then cut them out. Brad

    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    Russell: Thanks for the compliments. I have to admit that I did the railings in paper partially because I am a purist, partially because I can't work with anything other than paper, and partially because I am lazy. Brad

    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    I enjoyed building this ship and recommend it to anyone who wants a full-hull sailing ship without investing a lifetime and one's life savings. The only drawback was that every former was 2mm thick. I used paper for everything but the minimal rigging you see, which is plain ole' thread. I...

    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    Here are some steps near the bow. They are very small. It's raining outside today and there is very little available light inside, so not much is in focus.

    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    Here is the stern, showing the wheel and the railings. I did the railings in paper. I am very close to be being a paper purist and will choose paper even if it could be done better in something else. It is a paper model, after all.

    MM 1-2/2004 Cutty Sark

    Here is a picture showing the hull. I have tried several full hull ships, but could never get a good enough fit. There were always huge gaps between the plates. This one came together nicely, though, with only a few small gaps of 1mm. The kit provided extra plating to fill any gaps. I like...

    I am working on the Halinski Tiger right now. It has a full interior and working tracks. The kit is fantastic with perfect fit and great coloring. The 3000+ parts are a bit daunting, however. I would recommend any of the Halinksi panzer kits. The GPM and Modelik armor kits also look...

    JSC United States Good or Not?

    Bill: I am about half way through the United States. Although it is my first ship model, I am pleased with the results thus far. The fit is excellent and the coloring is nice, but not detailed. Also, there is no weathering on the model. My main problem was handling the large pieces like...
