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.

replacing jury rudder
That is cool great idea I’m a cutty fan also
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”!
Great idea and nicely done! But where are the sticks? [:D]
A bit closer image of the jury rudder
A wider view…I will finish the ship as well…depicting monor repairs being done to rigging and spars as well…fun fun fun
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.

Fantastic work!!! I’ve always loved sailing ship models but never really had the patience to finish one.
Thanks…I enjoy it a lot. I’ll begin working on the ships masts and rigging soon…after I finish the ways detail…

Very well done!

I did a bit more work…adding details. Here is a ladder and some tools and parts for the job
a close up of the work area and tools/parts
close up of the running gear that was used to stear the jurry rudder…the port side has been already removed during the repair.
And one from the bow…showing the added wood gang just port of the prow.
here’s a bit better view
My late father loved sailing ship models (he even built a couple of wooden ones) and he would’ve loved this! Very unique.
