A couple of things to share with you all;
In reading many of the threads lately about sailing ships, in particular the Cutty Sark, it has been mentioned several times, by mr. jtilley, about a great set of plans that were available from the Cutty Sark Gift Shop. While I am definately not ready to tackle a Cutty Sark model, I do have a thing for blueprints/plans and since you never know how long something like this will be around, I ordered the 3 sheet set.
Let me say this, they are everything that Mr. Tilley said they were. I ordered them on July 14th and they were here on my desk in the states yesterday (Aug. 1) when I came home. They came rolled in a tube, so there are no creases in the plans. Cutty Sark fanatics, you will not be disappointed!
Mr. Tilley also noted that there would be some small writing on the plans that my be hard for us with less than stellar vision to see. For that I have the following solution. I can't remember who gave me this "Spy Glass" and I can't tell you where you can find your own, but, it works real well.
Obviously, it came from some Drug Rep. and even though my son-in-law is one, he hasn't been able to find me another spy glass. As you can see it has a cm scale for those of you that work in metrics.
If any of you have an interest in this thing and can find a source, please let me know too. I have a few friends that would like to have one too.
