Does anyone have any idea where I can get naval figures in 1/72 scale for my Victory? I've been searching the web and various sites without success.
Thanks,
Mort

4 inch by 4 inch or whatever size you're comfortable with.
Does that help?

When I am copper plating I put the contact cement on the entire section of the hull I intend to copper plate and the copper plates. I wait 10-12 minutes until the cement is tacky to the touch, apply the plates and then repeat the process of applying the cement to the hull and the plates. I usually do a 4X4 area at a time.
Hope this helps,

I've always used contact cement with a small fan to blow the fumes, towards an open window and always wear a mask. It works very well. I put a thin coat on the hull and a thin coat on the plates and wait about 10 minutes. I then attach the plates to the hull. The contact cement is still not completely dry so I can adjust the plate if necessary.
If necessary I can later - after the cement has totally dried - read adjust the plate or plates if necessary by gently applying heat in the form of my Kammerlander Plank Bender or a simple soldering iron on the low heat setting.
Keep up the good work,

Want to thank everyone for all the likes. They mean a lot coming from you.
Graham I neglected to thank both you and glenard in my above post, sorry for that.
Rob your Stefano is a thing of beauty.
Ryland your work is immaculate, your workmanship amazing.
Jason had your Snake and Diana logs been available when I built my Snake and Diana my builds would have been so much easier.
KHauptfuehrer I have your build booked marked so If I do build the kit in my closet it will be a valuable reference.
All the best and thank you,
Mort

Forgive me but I would be remiss if I didn't mention Heinz746, Jerry, Kevin,Gil,Sjors, Shipyardsid, Helli and Robert29 for your Build Logs which were a TREMENDOUS help as I have dyslexia and spatial issues.
All the best,

Lanterns, anchors and anchor buoys mounted last week. The White Ensign hoisted Friday. She’s complete. An overwhelming project but well worth it. At times it seemed she’d never launch - especially with my embellishments - but she’s definitely worth it.

I just finished mine. I hoisted the White Ensign yesterday. She's overwhelming and I mean it in a complementary way if that's the proper English. I'm very happy with her but she's so big that everything everything, everything, is time consuming as there's so much of it. I started mine in late March of 2019 and even without my additions/kit bashes she's a monumental project as the other Victory builds mention, but definitely worth the effort.
You are doing a great job. Keep up the wonderful work.

I've always used contact cement along with adequate ventilation. My reasoning is that the plates can be cleaned if necessary with acetone. When applied to the hull you have about 15-30 seconds to adjust them. Once dry should they need to be readjusted they can easily be so by heating them with a soldering iron.
Keep up the great work.

That walking tour is a gold mine of information. It was a huge resource in the construction of my Victory.
Cheers,
