HMS victory build

Looks good Steve, is that Heller's version of the Launch?, also I believe the windlass would be mounted farther aft.

Cheers!

Steve, that looks really good! I am really impressed with the work you are doing. I am enjoying your build. 

michael , it is the heller boat , could you  be a bit more detailed , with a bit more aft please , I'm not really happy with it , might have aother go .

cheer's steve , I'm having a ball , 

mind you my hand's are still shaking after attempting this , for the balconies  .

If you have another go, put the windlass quite central, in place of one bank. Also the mast could be mor in the front perhaps the second bench. Those big boats usually had a second mast aft. There are plenty of pictures in the NMM about that.

Steve,

I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the balconies. You are off to a nice, clean start!

cheer's daniel , I appreciate that , mate . 

bill , thank's mate , but believe me this will be a long slow process , really not sure what I am doing , but it is good to be doing something totally different for me . 

had another go at the launch , moved the windlass further to the centre .

Sweeeeeeeeet :-)

Nice work Steve, I'll follow your lead on this one, although I'll be displaying either the launch or pinnace, not sure yet.

Steve-o....it looks awesome! Really nice job. It looks real.

thankyou gentlemen

had a quick dry fit of the upper deck , just waiting on some part's to finish the deck , before gluing .

so far , so good , on the stern

had a dry fit of the forecastle deck .

Beautiful!  

Bill

Dang Steve, this is looking good! I know that I keep saying that, but I can't help myself.  

Really beautiful work Steve! I haven’t checked in for awhile so I’m playing catch up here. Love what you did with the boat too. Where did you find that anchor?

Steve

cheer's guy's i appreciate the comment's .

I could have sworn I got them from cornwall models , but I bought them that long ago , I'm not sure . I have had a quick look through their range , but couldn't find them . if you need some , PM me your address and I will send them to you .  this is how they came .

 could I ask you a question please , is the knight's head I bought off of you , the same 1805 - 1765 . I bought it before I decided to do the earlier version . if so , is the kit supplied version ok

I think the one from the fresh delivery is much better anyway :-) The shape of the "oiginal" Heller ones is square, as it should be rhomboïde.

PS: Oh, yes! I like this Heavy-Metal-Umlaut ;-)

thanks mate

Steve...I have followed your log from the beginning, but still not sure about the paint scheme you have chozen.

Is this the Victory?  Or just the use of the kit for another vessel?

Steve, your work is really great & I look forward to seeing more. I still love what you did with the Robert E Lee. You really detailed it beautifully.Of course I am partial to riverboats & they don't have any rigging.   Gene

the victory didn't get the bee colour scheme , until 1803 , I think , when nelson took over . this is from1765 , when she was first floated , as far as I know no-one know's what colour scheme she had , also the shorter top and forecastle deck's , lower channel's etc . it's just a bit of artistic liscensne

cheer's gene alway's good to here from you mate .

as I am still waiting for some part's , decided to get into the gun port's , which can be a very tedious process

Been wandering about the forum looking at different types of models, and came upon this thread.  This is a very ambitious project.  Love the subject, being an avid reader of the age of sail.

I will continue to follow this thread, as it is just fascinating.

You are doing great, Steve!

Great work Steve, this is a very interesting undertaking that you are doing in that we get to see the Victory in a different representation.
