[ATTACH]282170[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282173[/ATTACH] Good news I am starting to try rebuild her but she won't be like she was I will start the rigging from scratch .
So far the Hull is back together and the fore mast is back in place but the bowsprit will be a little shorter and I still have the last two mast's to sort out.
But I still may get a new one as Revell has reissued the kit[ATTACH]282170[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282173[/ATTACH]

This one is now terminated as its to far gone and as I have ordered a new one from John. I will be starting a new thread soon

[peterairfix]

If its OK with the mods I would like to carry on this thread with my replacement cutty sark?

[peterairfix]

Right to start off with the new kit the hull has had a coat of thinned tamiya copper and i have taken a close up to show the detail in the copper plates[ATTACH]282374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]282376[/ATTACH]

Here's some more work done going from bow to stern I have the the bowsprit and figure head attached and the anchors are fixed in place.
The life boats are rigged in place on the davits and at the stern some work on the rudder[ATTACH]283009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283010[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283012[/ATTACH]

I am almost back to where I was and I have all the masts constructed and fitted and I will have her fully sailed next up will be the fun bit the rigging.
And as the ratlines are pre moulded that saves a bit of work and looks better as well.[ATTACH]283042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283044[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283046[/ATTACH]

Looking good, good luck with the rigging. At least you don't have to do the ratlines.

Started on the rigging yesterday and some more today and that's where I will leave it for now [ATTACH]283340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]283343[/ATTACH] as I have rigging overload at the moment.

[Guest]

Looking good. When I did a 3D model of this, I realised that the rigging is just repeated for each mast.

[Guest]

Looking great mate, that's a lot of rigging
