As a boy, I built the Revell 1/96 Thermopylae more than 50 years ago. I don't remember what happened to that build as I moved on, but I still miss it and remember it fondly. Today I have received the Cutty Sark 1/96, and I will be busy for a long time. I have watched your build from the start, and I am really impressed by your work and dedication to detail. The end result is superb, and I want to thank you for filming the whole journey. I will build my ship with the included sails, as I did with the Thermopylae. Maybe I will share some of my progress in your Facebook community later on.

My dad built this exact kit when I was a kid, that shift got lost at some point, and I would love to build the Thermopylae one day, so I can display both of them, I would have used the sales at this one but they were just too far gone for it as old as the kit was, I'm glad that you've got the kits for the Cutty, I would love to see pictures of your progress on my Facebook group once you start building it, good luck and have fun, and remember build it for you, there's no need to rush or stress it's only going to be on your show. Thanks for watching my friend.

Very impressive Marc, I can tell from the rigging you put in massive amounts of intensive man hours. Looks great.

Marc, that rigging is making me dizzy looking at it! Amazing job and I didn't see any saggy lines. That was a great save, so a huge disaster averted. Great work on this kit!!

You have done a wonderful job building and rigging the ship. I been aboard the Cutty before the fire and she is an impressive ship. I have a book you might like to try and find. The log of the Cutty Sark, by Basil Lubbock. With details of her voyages and mishaps. first printed in 1924 but reprinted 1994. I have two Revell kits of the Cutty Sark and a wooden Matua kit of her rival the Thermoplyae. Plus two wooden HMS Victory to complete.

@@BluestreekCustoms WOW. That's a lot of time. But look at the end result. It's rewarding.

Yes it is, My wood ship will be a lot more hours to get it done, but it's a lot more work.
