I started modelling one of the most beautiful tea clippers still in existence,
well the only one left actually, the Cutty Sark, moored in Greenwich, London. I
visited the site in 2009, but there was not much too see then.
The keel laying ceremony has been performed, no on with the rest of the ship.
Cheers
Ton

Thanks Leroy, here is more.
The hull looks rather good.
Now add some color.
Cheers
Ton.

Here is the copper for the hull and the black paint on top.

Coming along nicely, as with all of your detailed models.
I'll bet the sails and ropes will be a bit challenging.
Are you just going to wing the placement of the ropes, or use catenaries?
Are the sails going to be done with bicubic patches?
I briefly looked into sail design, and that seems to be a science and art all
its own.

Thanks for the comment, mr Eagle.
I see three main challences:
1 The decoration on the bow and stern. A heightfield might do the trick, but the
stern is round, and a heightfield isn't.
2 The figurehead on the bowsprit. I've never done anything human shaped.
3 The rigging and sails. Sails might be easy, omit them! Cutty Sark in Greenwich
is sailless.
For the ropes there are some help include-files.
Chain11.inc (Rob Antonishen, 24 feb 1997) gives paraboles or catenaries for
chains or ropes.
Rope.inc (Ryoichi Suzuki, 21 jan 2001) uses a spline to create a mesh (see
attached image).
Rigging.inc (Chris Colefax, 28 april 1998, modified Tim McMurdo, 28 February
2005) to create rigging with tackle and blocks and rope and knots.
On the modelshipworld.com website someone started a scratch build of Cutty Sark
in 2013. Not finished yet!
So good work takes time.
Cheers
Ton

You've got a lot of plans.
I think you have chosen one of the most complicated sailboats right away.

The hull already looks good, I'm curious about the rest.

It does start to look good and familiar, from seeing this boat a couple of
decades ago!

This rope looks great, nice include if it's straight out of it!
