HMS victory build

thank's gene , alway's wanted to see you do this build , I agree too mate , larger model's are a lot easier to work on . 

cheer's steve , alway's good to hear from you mate .

Those anchors look awesome, Steve. Nice work!

Steve, your work is really flawless & I love to see your detail pictures. They are super. I think that nino helps us all get our oictures on FSM. I would be lost without him on my computer & he has amazing pictures.

    Boy am I enjoying building the Victory. It is big & that is a lot easier  to work on & the castings are perfect.

cheers michael , 

Those anchors are looking great Steve!, I will also be using the kit the supplied anchors with some modifications. The size and number and types of anchors varied prior to her refit of 1803 when they were standardized and a total of seven were carried. Hope that helps.

thank's jim , yes i used tamiya xf-56 metalic grey . and dry brushed some black over the top . the kit only has 4 anchor's the same size , I think the actual ship carried 8 , if anyone know's for sure  please help , I intend using 4 smaller sized anchor's from my spare's bin , I think my knowledge of ship's is just as limited , I rely on people like michaelD , 1943 mike , dafi and the like , their knowledge is incredible .

Hi again Steve.

The anchors look great.  Excellent painting.   Perchance is there some metallic finish on them?  The sheen on the shank, arm and fluke in the picture make these look realistic to my eye.

Are the Anchors Heller included all the same size?  I have the kit up in my attic but never thought to look at those parts.  My knowledge of sailing ships is rather limited but didn't some ships have diferent size anchors for different duties?

 I am greatly enjoying your work to the exclusion of working on my ancient Pyro CSS Virginia.

 Thanks.

       Jim

finally started back on the build , did a bit of work on the anchors

no , my friend , I just haven't been doing much modeling lately , my back was giving me grief , seem's to be better now . I have gone over your tutorial a few time's now , { thankyou for that } and I think I know where you are coming from mate , I just have to do some more modeling to be able to take some pic's to post . I can be a bit on the obtuse side , . but I'm getting there . 

Good to see you back at it bud! I guess my tutorial on multiple pictures was either not what you were asking or way too obtuse....  I have a problem with that by the way!

Steve

the main mast , top mast shroyds and rat line's done .

I'm going to have to practise that nino .

Steve,

 If I misundersood your request about "Multiple images on Postimage", see my edit in the previous post.   I orginally thought you meant how to take multiple images from Postimage and post those pictures to FSM all at the sametime.

My edit shows how to Upload multiple images to Postimage, all at the same time.

     Thanks for the tip on mosquito netting for around the hammock's .

     Jim.

could someone please , help me with posting muliple picture's at once , on postimage . I mean like in an album , I do it one picture at a time . any help would be really appreciated .

 

 Steve, 

     Postimage has many limitations, one of which seems to be no multiple pics at a time can be linked to a post on FSM.  I have failed to find a way around this. It also has some other faults such as no ability to view images one after another.

 EDIT:  In case I misunderstood...

     You CAN upload multiple photos to Postimage.  When you select Upload at Postimage.org you are taken to the the folders on your hard drive where you can select folders that contain your pictures.  To select multiple pictures for uploading, hold down the CTRL button and click on each picture you want to upload.  Each picture will become highlighted.  When done selecting, release CTRL and click Okay.  They will all upload. Another option is to Click the first picture of a contiguous string of pictures, hold the shift key down and click the last picture in the string.  All the pictures between the first and last will highlight,  release the shift key and click Okay and all will upload to Postimage.

      In spite of some short-comings, like Ads, it works fine as a basic hosting site. Easy to navigate and upload.  More importantly, easy to get those "Direct links" for posting. It sure is better than Google Photos and Photobucket dispite ads. Many Photo hosting sites have advertisements too but I'm convinced the Ads on Postimage are "better looking".

  Thank you for that "Share" link on Google since your original photo's in the thread vanished a while back.

   Thanks.

         Jim.

P.S. I have a test of a Copy/Paste method to try on the Testing forum.  I fear it could be just as time consuming as doing one picture at a time.   I will keep you informed

 EDIT:  No-Go on multiple pics attempt from Postimage. Maybe someone else has better ideas.

EDIT:  See additional input from BlackSheep214 at my Testing Forum Thread: Postimage: Multiple pics to a post

Dang Steve, that is some impressive rigging work you got going on! Can’t wait for the next installment.

Steve 

could someone please , help me with posting muliple picture's at once , on postimage . I mean like in an album , I do it one picture at a time . any help would be really appreciated .

I take it you mean the netting for the hammock's , mark . I used mosquito netting  , very small , very cheap , from the local habidashery . hope this help's .

got the rest of the lower rat lines finished .

Looking very good! Where did you get the small netting?

thankyou gentlemen , I know what you mean michael , but the way I figure it , after all the other rigging , the last thing I'd want to do at the end of it all , would be the rat line's . 

At this rate Steve you'll be finished before me Lol. This phase is a little too early for me, I find it much easier to feed the tweezers between the shrouds to access the bitts. As always great work mate!!

Michael D.

As usual Steve, it looks great!

cheer's flint , got the starbord side rat-line's finished , now for the port .

Ahh, the soul-destroying ratlines. I say this, but I'm yet to discover the joys of constructing and painting all those cannons yet! Looking great so far Steve. The pain will be worth it in the end.

Looking good, Steve. I wish I was there so you could teach me how it's done.

 

Steve5, 

     A great thread. I repeat what Steve ("Bakster") said.

I am following closely and taking notes.  I really like the interchange on corrections from the Experienced Victory Builders.

Thanks To All who are adding to these Posts.!

Nice work Steve, I hate to mention it, but all 4 burton pendant falls should be taken to the forecastle deck, the falls for the top ropes are taken to either side of the main hatch.
