Artesania Latina Cutty Sark

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

Hi all continuing to plod on with this





Made a start on the main mast.

Started on a small amount of rigging.

Man I dont envy you doing that job, but I'm looking forward to seeing it done

I've made a start on the first yard .

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.

Stunning work mate

Do the sails and rigging come in the kit or have you had to source them yourself?

Made one of the ships launches and added some upper shrouds.

Hi all well I just couldn't stand looking at those sloping shrouds any more.

OK so she's back on the bench first thing is to get rid of 18 months of dust






It was a lot harder than you might think







Next problem knowing where I left off.

Hi all the next spar has all the block and tackle added.











And the sail



Added the spar and sail






Don't know why I left off here but I didn't finish the paneling when I shelved this.

Did some work on the wheelhouse.

Hi all more done to the wheelhouse.
