Yeah, Except for their nostalgia value I've never seen the point in half models. I'd much rather have a full one with rigging etc.
I have a large wooden kit of the Cutty Sark. The kit is a bit lacking so I plan to improve it as I go. I went so far as to build my own thickness sander so I could make my own planks for it, but that's about as far as i got. By the time I get to building it, I'll probably not have a place to display it.
I must say, that C22 does look good. Making solid models is something I've always figured took more skill and patience than the average woodworking project.
Now you'll get compliments on both.
hehe... I've got a picture in my head of a C22 anchored in a bay with a little RC C22 zooming around it. Too much work I figure... better to spend time on the big one.
