Scott Scurlock and long lost Revell Cutty Sark
Posted by Publius on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 9:53 AM
Back in the summer of 1960 while living on Grace Street in Springfield Virginia, I built and fully rigged the new Revell 1/96 Cutty Sark. Shortly there after though I had to get rid of it because my father's orders from the navy were to move to Long Beach, California and the movers said, "no way." So I traded it to Scott Scurlock, my neighbor down on the corner, for a simulated pearl handle switch blade knife, which my mom later took away.  I'm posting this to see if I can track down Scott or the model itself. I'm working on a Kearsarge now. Thanks, Paul Venne BangkokThailand

Might this be the Scott you are looking for?

I think it's interesting that you're holding out hope of actually finding a 49-year-old plastic ship model.

I've got a couple of built models from the early sixties, both AMT cars, which are more inherently 'survivable' than a full-rigged ship model. 

I had a small Revell Constitution that I was particularly proud of that was on a bookshelf in my parent's living room when I left for college in 1971.  They moved to another city a couple of years later and unfortunately my ship model didn't survive the move...

I looked up that same guy in Washington State I think on the net. Not the same as far as I know. Scott would be about 62 I think and he had a blond younger brother if I remember right. His mother was a voluptious woman too. That's about all I remember. They lived down on the corner of Grace Street in Springfield Virginia and it was the summer of 1960. The far street had a small creek with turtles in the forest nearby and the creek's where I burned a few of my plastic models with gasoline. Fun. Scott might have been there. Quit that when I slipped and set my leg on fire. Hehehhe. No burns, but it smelled a lot like gasoline.
