Clipper (WIP)

[Andre1983nl]

Hi to all.

Be aware not really clear photo's because i got a cheap camera

While cleaning my 1989 pirate collection i was day dreaming about my plastic model kitt a Clipper called "Cutty Shark".

I said to meself i will make a clipper instead of a pirate ship.

Well it hurt a bit while taking the BSB a part

A mix of BSB, CC, ISF, and more

Some pictures

What is a clipper? Click!

I don't really know if I'd keep the yellow and red, but other then that it looks like she'll be a beauty of a ship! you need to try and get sails on her

Sails .. i was thinking about using an old t shirt.

The yellow and red @ the back .... maybe i should change that, but she is still in the Status WIP.

Suggesttions?

I was thinking make the mast on the same height, in 1 line.

If you're making a 4-masted clipper ship, I think you would get the best result by making the masts look as close as possible like this image:

So masts of the same height will do, but the mast in the back should be a little bit shorter.

And usually the helm is on the back part of the ship.

For the rest it's looking good. Good luck with it!

Looking very good so far! I like the white at the back much better then the red, the yellow blends alot better now to! nice work mate, keep at it

She is real nice. The sails have brought her to life. The color adjustments made a big differance as well.

I like what your doin... but that spanker sail should be smaller, and a triangle, not a trapezoid

Keep up the good work!

P.S. Where's the bowsprit?

P.P.S. If your using rope rigging for the rest of the ship, why not do so for the shrouds?

P.P.P.S The steering wheel (I forget exactly what it's called) should be placed about 3/4ths of the way to the stern. I'm not saying the ship is bad, I'm just saying that if you want it to be accurate, there's a few things you'll need to change
