New Cutter, for the Seaport Village

[Sumpter250]

It is amazing how you made a plastic Cutty Sark kit into a 1:87 model. That is kit bashing (scrap all except the hull and modify the hull intensively) at it's best.

Yeah it's really more of a scratch rather than a bash.

I still refer to this as a kit bash, even if the better part of it is scratch built
The "True Scratch" will begin when the Cutter is done. That, will be a 160' ( L.O.A. ), plank on frame three mast schooner. I will probably use 1/32" x 3/32" basswood for the hull planks. It will be only the second Plank-on-frame model I have ever done.
This is the first, a scratch built 1:64 ( S ) scale model, built to my own design, and inspired by watching Pete Seeger's "Clearwater" being built.
