Recommended Posts

 hey Steve shipwright was saying he  prefers  the ship with out the sails  not about the paint job that is what he saying 

   I'm with him I do not care for the sails either it hides most of the rigging work

Beautiful job Steve.  The Vic is my favorite, having scratch built her three times over the years.  I go to sleep every night with her sitting right beside my bed.

Sails I'm glad I fitted did think about it for along time they can be left furled on the lower mast as I did ,each to there own decision personally I'm glad I chose to go with them 

 Steve, she is a credit to you, job beautifully done and sails too, well done, Most modellers don't go for sails and say its because they hide the detail, I believe it doesn't hide any, just move your head it's all there.  It is just very difficult to fit them with sails, not to mention added research and the time that and the actual making and fitting sails takes. Furled lowers show decks detail anyway. Hms Victory spent years at sea and would very rarely be seen naked. OK furled but not naked. Basically it's like building a model car and leaving off the wheels to me. It's a sailing ship at the end of the day.  Most modeller fit copper plates on hull, why bother, they were hidden below the waterline on the real ship and never seen during Victory active service and they really do hide the beautiful planking work. There fitted because there supposed to be there, a bit like sails. I know its each to there own and I would like to have left the sails off knowing what I now know but it's a sailing ship. We'll now my next ship if I make a second may not have sails fitted, ha ha but mine will be nothing to do with detail lost, more the effort involved. We'll done mate in producing a beautiful model.
