Model is cool, but that WATER with the WATER COLOR in that BOX...oh man. That looks freaking good.

[@ryanthoms]

Was thinking the same thing, so cool to see that the quality of his builds have improved from such a solid foundation

[@MannyXVIII]

I think it is visible that you not only like making these dioramas but also making videos about them. Keep this up and maybe youtube will soon pay for your hobby.

[@Boylei]

Thanks for your encouragement! I will definitely keep making these. I enjoy it very much.

[@Testdummy-li5ul]

@@Boyleithis comment aged very well

[@lauramiller1061]

You just blew my mind again. Not only because you just excelled at a ship diorama with a ship you had to research, but because you also just switched gears effortlessly to painting a watercolor background. I love the completed diorama.

[@Josy395]

Thought the water was some sort of epoxy! Neat technique

[@Boylei]

Thank you, Josiah!

[@Leo_Lazarus]

..not boring at all - my dad build a larger Cutty Sark model many many many years ago and i saw this beautiful sailship during my entire childhood sitting on a shelf. Today i'm at the same age as my dad was at this time, but the ship is long gone.... perhaps i should build one some day.

[@leebeedraws]

I've been lucky enough to see the Cutty Sark a few time myself - once when I was a kid shortly before it caught fire and had to be restored again. Really beautiful boat, and a fantastic recreation!

[@Random_Commoner]

when you said "Cutty Sark", the 1st thing I thought was "hey, that's the ship where Uncle Scrooge worked as a kid !" x) very nice work !

[@crystalroseblue6760]

Thank you so much.....my Grandfather had a hobbie of making sailing ships inside a bottle,I watched him raise the sails on one one day and he swore me to secretly on how he did it I was 5at the time but I have a rare vidio photographic memory and I can see everything remember anytime I want .His favourite was the picture of the Cutty Shark ship on the high seas, my Grandmother gave it to me ,when I was moving house years back the glass broke and the picture print was badly damaged It was a treasured memory of my Grandfather after he passed away.I still keep it though even damaged.. I also still have his plaster ship fire place frount screen of the Santa Maria, chased it up on an Auction got it back after friends of my Grandmother which she gave it to passed away and their relations sold everything off. .But all his bottled ships disapeared with anything else........so glad to see your work, brought back lovely memories ,and your work is lovely..

[@joshuamckay3309]

loved the info on the boat, did some extra googling and was very fascinated.

[@ChrisPage68]

It's not a boat.

[@rosethunder3820]

My dad would LOVE this project

[@Regibois]

The two screws in the back is just big brain, it keeps the box open, so the model won’t get destroyed when it’s closed

[@thisorthatquizzler]

I enjoyed this model build and as a Brit, I also enjoyed going on the original Cutty Sark in London. We often imagine ships as huge but in reality, they were tiny as were the people at the time (around 4 inches shorter on average).

[@charlievanasten1233]

I love this diorama and I also love the Boston tea party because it’s so much history and I love the revolution era so I think you should make more of that because it’s like the best

[@renees766]

That water is incredible!

[@ICouldntthinkofagoodname]

I thoroughly enjoyed this build-as always

[@merrittvise7997]

Such a cool idea and great symbolism with the box refurbish

[@sphinxtheeminx]

When I was a nipper we had a day trip to the Cutty-Sark for a look round. Maybe the lack of a figurehead in the box was down to the fact 'Cutty-Sark' was usually depicted with her bosom bare to the world as her sark (petticoat/nightie) fell off in a rapture. The ship is still a place to visit when you are next in London.

[@jimmccormick6091]

Cutty Sark was a China Clipper. One of the fastest in the world. She was BAD ASS. Calling her a sailboat is like calling a Lion a kitty cat. Thank you for sharing your work, it is excellent!

[@MakeForOthers]

Laughed out loud when you said the sails and rigging were a nightmare and that they took you three and a half hours to do...would have taken me so much longer! Nice job with the boat and the entire presentation.

[@paulaneary7877]

That's AWESOME! How come I want to own all of your things you make? The infromation about the ship was NOT boring. I love everything about the sea, ships, boats, etc.

[@azmiraclegirl441]

Name that boat Franky. SUUUUUPER!!

[@bonkeleerspatrick4108]

Hope i enjoy.....this is so relaxing...and the details on your work is fantastic.. thanks for sharing

[@AtlanSumerian]

Nice, bumsun cutty sark! Using a tea box, became a good background too. Oseolock

[@christopherengel7436]

I also thought the information you gave about the Cutty Sark was fascinating. Thanks for that. Very nice model & set up. I really liked the whole thing.

[@alexjonathanwhite606]

I was very pleased to watch this. The Cutty sark is a ship that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in person and even going inside. It’s proudly on display and an exhibition at London. I have a coin and a ship in a bottle to remember it by. Great video, very interesting and very relaxing. Good job!

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video and presentation..

[@MrWisconsinLeather]

I loved the history information on the ship!

[@brandonR.E]

This guy makes the best videos. He’s entertaining to listen to. That’s hard to find in these things

[@twojointsjay7330]

Cutty Sark always makes me think of Murakami novels.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

Suddenly a what 25 dollar model turned into a wonderful display that would be worth potentially several hundred. :P

[@toteZitrone]

Okay, what's really missing now are the foldable masts so you can close and carry that teabox. :D Haha, just kiddin. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@Enkis_rage]

Watched this whole thing in preview screen it was so captivating. Like&sub. Awesome build.

[@jarrodmacca2705]

That looks phenomenal!!

[@garzilla7123]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@vipahman]

So real that I'm seasick!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

This was fun to watch! I love how the entire scene was brought together with the addition of the water and your water painting! Fantastic job.

[@Teaiori]

Hey tea box you looking fine~

[@AlexModeling]

Beautiful! Out of the box concept... I mean IN the box! 👍👍👍

[@kainoafaremiro482]

The deeeetails man, you should open a museum for your art

[@strangewayfaringstranger]

You should do a pirate ship battle scene. Have two ships firing at each other, maybe have a boarding crew on one.

[@bradfordbroswtent.8450]

Kamsa Hamnida. great video. good to see more Korean related items in your videos, I also have South Korean in-laws.

[@CheyneFelter]

Fantastic, would love to see a naval revisit with your resin, maybe fitting into your western Sci-fi?

[@-TheBatman]

tbh I think this is one of your finest works just because of the painting in the background and the way you did the water technique and still credited the channel who had the idea

[@benjaminwoodruff8841]

Awesome i am a sailor and i really enjoyed watching this i have the same model kit and it turned out nothing like this i have tried many times unsuccessfully to create realistic water

[@scotiadragoon5974]

I’ve got the same kit as well. It’s a… clipper…, but it is by no means Cutty Sark. I keep poking at mine; stripped the “rails” off from the hull, stripped off and replaced the boats, put a rudimentary cabin in, and opened the port holes. I still have to sort out replacement sails, as I want to hang out all of the laundry and the kit just doesn’t have that. Shrouds and ratlines have to be replaced…sooo much detail. ack.

[@willhound2]

OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@stingray4567]

Regarding the strings problems you had doing the ropes - did you use elasticated string? That tends to make life much easier

[@lindanavroth]

Excellent! Interesting that a ship used to haul tea became the logo for a brand of whiskey....

[@johndegroff5046]

I built this model a long time ago and all I can say is WOW! I agree with you 100% on the rigging being a nightmare. I think I ended up just gluing the strings on. Fantastic job, as always.

[@jerrysmith7166]

Beautiful, best 350 cutty I've seen!

[@Markver1]

How about doing a “tempest in a tea pot”?

[@lo-firobotboy7112]

Beautiful diorama and model work. Loved the little history tidbits too, Only thing that bothers me is the missing rigging under the bowsprit (big pole on front of boat). There should be lines coming back from the low point of the vertical post, back up to the hull. The sea witch figurehead would also have been hanging down there. Otherwise, great build!!

[@davidmoore6973]

Cool idea with the box.

[@peterjozsef448]

Great build!

[@PyrozPlayground]

I love this channel so much!

[@JesusLovesHisCreations]

This is sooo good making a sail painting in 3D form😊👍👏👍👍

[@diyhometheaterguy]

Another awesome story and video!

[@Emisanboo]

As a child, I visited England and saw the Cutty Sark. It looked just like this, but larger. But then, things often appear larger from the perspective of a child. I'm sure it was exactly the same size.

[@stevedoggart2805]

she got her name from the Burns poem "Tam O Shanter" , a cutty sark was a short tailed shirt.

[@mistac5050]

Very creative with the tea box... Awesome

[@gerardobustos2570]

Impresionante congratulacion from CHILE suerte y cuidence del covid19

[@Eric-469]

So awesome. I hope those little screws were to keep the lid destroying your hard work on the rigging! Cheers.

[@badjer1983]

I have no idea how I missed this video of yours, as I just saw it for the first time. Hats off to the tin foil method - looks awesome! Additionally, I noticed you did not make the very common mistake of having the flag at the top of the main mast blowing in the opposite direction as the wind that fills the sails. Far too many ship models have the flag blowing towards the back as the ship moves forward! LOL

[@BardanJusik13]

Actually it is possible, to have flag blowing more to the back, than to the front - many ships can sail faster than the wind is blowing, when the boat is sailing at a broad angle off the wind, but not directly downwind.

[@JAFKARNAT]

Great diorama, well done. Scalathon is a brilliant U Tube channel, all sorts of modelling.

[@jthomas6080]

Those sails, both paint and stringing, look great my dude

[@dangedolvarmint5469]

Boylei, you forgot the Craken’s tentacles coming up out of briney deep, wrapped around the vessel. LOL. And that ocean water is stunningly realistic... without epoxy even... unbelievable. I love this channel... can’t wait to setup my shop. Looking forward to the next video. Have a good one.

[@AndrewKuntzman]

Man of many talents

[@WildBison668]

Very nice, fantastic idea using that tea box. One gripe is that bottom of the cutty sark was not wood, but copper plating. Would've been a pain I think to get the right metallic glint and shading, but would've been a striking visual

[@totoulooo]

Your painting is nice

[@kengan3432]

I used to use clear silicone sealant to make the water layer on top. It smelled terrible but it works quite well, it will create a thick transparent layer on top and you can create waves with it.

[@TheModelorian]

Awesome! You are very talented with the brush. Impressive!

[@Boylei]

Thank you!

[@mrclockman1950]

Outstanding model wonderful imagination

[@daleyorke1825]

Excellent work on that ship build it looks really great also the water effect and the back ground looks great keep up the good work bro

[@friktionrc]

If you ever do a trip to London, you can see the actual Cutty Sark…it’s on permanent display….it almost got burnt down but was painstakingly rebuilt. You’ve done her justice 🙏👍….you can take a boat trip from the Cutty Sark along the Thames into Central London…so passing things like the Tower of London, stopping of by the Globe Theatre (yup the one that was used to perform many a Shakespearean play) and all the way up towards Westminster Abbey/Houses of Parliament etc 👍

[@ericathefae]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[@JKSOutdoors]

Super inspiring! Thanks for the idea

[@darylarmentrout252]

That looks awesome, treat yourself to a bottle of Cutty Sark scotch sometime

[@Jaybiiird]

Thats so cool!

[@Fredreegz]

I've only just come across this video, but I live right next to the Cutty Sark, which is still still exists as a museum in Greenwich, London.

[@olivejeff1995]

That is awesome

[@bloodrunsclear]

I have a big print of The Cutty Sark on my downstairs wall. When I was little I got a tour around it.

[@wizzkidd1116]

Tou truly are talented 👍

[@jonasdreinulldreieins3933]

Wow, you are very skilled. You could also use a gild coating, if you haven't done that. It's eye-catching and can improve projects like that sailing ship. I haven't watched all your videos yet.

[@Becky61636]

That’s awesome

[@scaleModelAddict]

Info was cool.

[@jullelindvall1441]

Love it, great job!

[@davestinyworkshopotherprojects]

Lovely model diorama. I've been on board the Cutty Sark, it's a fascinating ship to explore.

[@TheBuddel]

Do they have a gift shop with tea?

[@davestinyworkshopotherprojects]

@@TheBuddel There are kiosks around the area near the ship

[@raytheron]

Nice one! BTW, 'Cutty Sark' is an archaic Scottish name for a short nightdress. 'Cutty' means short or stumpy, and 'sark' means nightdress or shirt.

[@leadbadger9543]

looks great! Shame the model did not have the figure head of the witch, maybe it was a bit too much detail for the model company. The build turned out great and a bit of wiki wisdom is always welcome.

[@markcollins9903]

Getting one later today

[@harbl99]

Tea Clippers: fastest ships in the world. Why? Because Brits take their tea really, really seriously. The annual race from Hong Kong back to the UK was an event in itself. First one back got prestige, bragging rights, and the cream off the top of the market.

[@connorjackson4320]

This is so freaking cool!

[@winters6271]

Beautiful

[@dontwantahandle69]

great stuff

[@AnushkaWikramanayake]

The actual Cutty Sark is now moored at Greenwich, which is also the centre of the time scale hence Greenwich Mean Time. At least it was moored there in the '90s, not sure if it is still there now.

[@adebsblank1150]

Nice!

[@erikbrush]

Your water came out really nicely. After the top layer of foil, it seems like you painted the foil in an opaque white? Was that actually an opaque white or not yet dried ModPodge? Nice video!

[@Nightwingtwo]

Love your vids!! Quick question did you consider using a gloss finish for the water to make it look wet at the end?

[@coast219]

How about building one of these for your sci-fi western. Instead of canvas sail make solar panels😉

[@ironmike8227]

Very cool!

[@jude1515]

Beautiful and realistic looking?
