Fantastic work!!! I've always loved sailing ship models but never really had the patience to finish one.

I figure..if you're going to display your weathered model...you might go the extra mile and place it in a diorama...rather then simply display it on a wood pedistal base.  It is still displayed, but rather interestingly and uniquely.

Nice job!!

Ahh, the ole Cutty Sark.I had this and the Golden Hind several times as a kid.

For many years I thought it was the Cutty "SHARK"!

I decided to build my new model in diorama form.  License provides me with loads of ideas...one of which will be replacing the jury rigged rudder she had to employ after she lost her rudder in 1872 in a gale in the Indian Ocean.  I built a *ways* for the haul out and scafolding structures for the repair.

I'll post images when I get my camera.
