Airfix 1/775 Cutty Sark (A68215)

[davecov]

My "back to basics" build of the Airfix 1/775 Cutty Sark (A68215) which was knocked out in just over a week.

 

It was built for the ATF 2021 Airfix Starter Kit GB, where we could only use the paints, glue and brush that came with the set. The paint consisted of Black, White, Cream and Copper. In addition sprue cutters, sanding board and a craft knife could be used. No filler, rigging, masking, airbrushing, enamel paints etc allowed.

 

This was bit of a learning curve as I use enamels as a rule and have only used acrylics once before about ten years ago. An interesting build to say the least with all of the restraints in place. Enjoyable nonetheless.

An interesting little build with all those restrictions in place - I'm not sure how you resisted the urge to, I dunno, 'spill' some unmilked tea over it as a  accidental wash (or just use wash) or something. Well done!

Thanks David.

 

I did manage to apply bit of a wash without going near tea which is just as well because I hate the stuff! I painted the sails white and then washed them with the Oak paint that came with the set.
