HMS victory build

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 .

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

I'm going to have to practise that nino .

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

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 . 

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

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.

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 .

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.

cheers michael , 

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.

Those anchors look awesome, Steve. Nice work!

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 .
