                        Here's the link to Maurice's Sail-Making adventure....keep in mind you may have to be registered on Pete's site to view it...

                        It really is a masterful technique, and although Maurice's original intention was to furl his sails, he's pretty much making them with full detail so they could be displayed either way.

                        Good info.  Thanks!

                        Here's a photo of a Cutty Sark model, sails set, with a billowing aspect...as if the ship were under sail.  Similar in design to the above-mentioned sails, but with the difference of appearing billowed.  There are plenty of modelers who think *windblown sails* look false, but for the Fastest Clipper...I kinda like the effect.  Not saying that's what I'll do, but I think it looks really cool!

                        One fairly good reference is: "MODELLING THE CUTTY SARK" by Edward Bowness. First published in 1959, the latest edition was produced in 1976. I bought my copy on board the Cutty Sark in '78 but, believe it or not, it's available on Amazon. My search term was: modelling the cutty sark edward bowness. Good luck and good hunting, Ray

                        A Cutty Sark or, *Short Shirt* was worn by the witch Nannie who tormented and chased a man riding a mare and she clutched the mares tail hair in her left hand.  

                        When in port a tin *Cutty Sark* was hoist and fixed to the main masthead.

                        Thanks to everyone for the helpful info and advice!
                        I'm sure I'll be gathering resources for the next couple of months while I plan it all out....

                        For now, I've got the 3 sheets of George Campbell plans coming from the UK, I've got Radek's Brass PE, etc, coming from the Czech Republic, and I've got the 2-volume set of C. Nepean Longridge's Cutty Sark reference....

                        I'd say I'm off to a good start!

                        Going to order the Scaledecks wooden deck, a couple more books, and of course...several orders of line and blocks from Chuck Passaro!

                        Thanks again!

                        You might know this, but her bottom was not coppered. It was plated in Muntz Metal, which is a brass made of a copper and zinc alloy. It has a distinctive gold color.

                        Again, thank you. However, the forum won't let me in. It says that I am inactive. So, until someone there activates me I won't be able to get an education.

                        Yes, I was thinking of going with a color more like Brass...or maybe Brass with just a touch of copper mixed in for depth.

                        I wonder if I'll weather it or not?
