HMS VICTORY by Kevin - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1/72


Recommended Posts

1st time i have seen the boats since last July when they went into storage, good to see them again, 

 

i don't see the point of restarting the build log of the Amerigo Vespucci, as at present - i am unable to find the time to proceed with her

my garage conversion continues, raised floor ceiling and walls are finished, the barrier between me and the wabbits is 90% done, at present i am working out work top area and storage, still on track for a Easter restart.

i fully appreciate this is a hobby site for boats and not loft/ garage conversions, if anyone is concerned with this, please tell me and i will stop posting non Victory related stuff

Kevin,

 

I don't know about others, but I think the creation of your workshop is every bit as relevant as details of the build itself.  Please keep posting updates and photos.

Kevin: On one site some time ago (Might even have been MSW 1) I saw a thread about members workshops.

Why don't you start one here, I'm sure you'll get a good response?

There is one:  http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/67-so-where-do-you-do-yours-then-ship-building-that-is/

  • 2 weeks later...

hello everyone, 

 

yet again my weekend has come to an end, yeah ok it is the middle of the afternoon, but have things to do, and i have avoided all the news all day to watch the Australian F1 race this evening, i would watch it live but the weather affected the qualifications so messed my routine up

 

anyway, i have totally rewired my garage, and put in place a full ring main, new lighting sockets, aerial  points, just tidying it all up now, had to clean the mess up to take the photos

 

i will be building a table next, to free stand in the middle of the room so that i can work on the build from any side, i hope to complete that by this time next week.

 

 

all the best

Kevin,

 

Your workshop is coming along just great.  I'm jealous, especially with the flat screen TV in there too!  Mind you, I can't multi-task, so watching TV and buliding Victory at the same time is probably beyond me!  I just listen to music instead.  Nothing wrong at all with showing all the workshop rennovation pics.  As we all watch each others builds it's great to have some context and to know where they're all beeing built.  Funny thing is, all these great workshops and Gil goes and builds his masterpiece on a table in his den!!

 

Cheers,

 

Patrick

Dah Dah  ( sang as a fanfare)

The big day came and went, all the crowds, the skimpy dressed cheerleaders, a top billing of big musicians - all to celebrate- the long awaited event

.

Although that is not strictly true, infarct there was only me and the wife who opened the door for me - like royalty ( still not quite true)  in fact she opened it just to be able to shut as i passed through to stop the cold wind entering the house -  oh i did have the ipod playing some trance music in the background, with the bass provided by the 5 wabbits - all stomping as i had disturbed there evening kip

 

 

Celebrate what i hear you all say

 

the build has re-started

Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on
