Gil, Don't sell yourself short! Even though you completed your Victory so long ago, it's still the hallmark of how to build this model. I'm on the standing rigging of my Victory at the moment (yes, it's taken me forever!) and I have your build log open in my shipyard to guide me all the time. Best wishes, Patrick

Yves, I am so glad I found your Bellona build log. She looks great and you are doing a fantastic job. Your explanations of difficulties encountered and you solutions to them will be invaluable to future builders of this great model. I will be following closely and have a feeling that the CAF Bellona will be on my wish list when I get my Victory done! Patrick

I'm torn here, Kevin. As much as I want to see your progress with Enterprise, you AV is coming along beautifully. Oh well, I'll take what I can get from your wonderful work! Patrick

Kevin, I just came upon your HMS Enterprise build and spent a very pleasant couple of hours going through it. It's fantastic and I'm impressed that you took on a challenge like this. You've done a great job. As others have said, don't let trolls on Facebook get to you...most of them probably couldn't glue two toothpicks together. I'm looking forward to you getting back on this build and seeing your results. Patrick

Wow Kevin! Just found your AV build log. First off, I'm glad it's not just me who leaves a build sitting to one side for a few years! Second. I love how your AV looks, especially all the brass work and turnbuckles. So glad I'm back on board in MSW and finding such great build logs as this one. Looking forward to following you. Patrick

Hello Graham, I just went through your build log again and your work and precision and innovative use of tools and jigs is impressive. But no new posts in over a year? Please tell me your Victory continues to progress and I'd love to see more of how she's turning out. (Of course, I'm one to talk! I vanished off this site for a couple of years before returning to my build!) Patrick

Well, we're moving along now with gun port lids. I now have 15 of them under various stages of assembly/painting. Once these are finished and installed I only have seven more to build...whoopee! As each lid is custom-built and fitted to its respective gun port (to allow for building up wales and slight variations in size) I number them and then place them on sticky side up masking tape so they don't fly away or get mixed up once they're painted inside and out. I use the sticky side up masking tape on the painting bench too so the lids don't get blown away by air pressure from the air brush! Patrick

We grow...in more ways than one. Just for laughs here's a picture of my entire workshop/workbench when I started this project so long ago, followed by a couple of more pics of what it looks like today. I need a bigger garage! Mind you, when I see some other builders' custom-built workshops I salivate...and then I think of Gil Middleton who built his amazing Victory on a table top in a condominium! Patrick

Progress from the last couple of days. Port side middle gun deck port lids are all installed. I started out with the gun port lids building one at a time, then 3 at a time, now I'm juggling 8 at a time and it goes much quicker. As is always the case with the repetitive jobs on the build, you start of shaky and get better as you go along. When you finally get good at it, you've pretty much finished the job and don't need those skills any more! Patrick

Hello Sjors, So glad to find you're still here, and especially excited that you're tackling Caldercraft's Victory. As always, your work is fantastic...and fast! I just got back to my Victory after a couple of years hiatus and have started posting to my log again. Really looking forward to your progress! Patrick

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
