HMS Victory by AntonyUK - DeAgostini - Scale 1:72 - cross-section - as appeared in 1805


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

With the Corel Victory cross section almost completed we ( me and my son ) decided to start on this build.

 

I will bash the kit as and when we come to it. Lots of little things as far as I can see.

 

We started by removing the frames from the laser cut boards. some boards were distorted a little but this is not cause for concern. a very sharp knife was used for this cutting both sides of the board.

 

We then sanded most of the charring from the frames with a nail board. made easy work of the charring.

 

All the frames were offered together and with minimum sanding to make a perfect fit.

 

Then glued the frames together in place over photocopies of the master frame drawing.(7 frames 7 copies).

 

Then all the frames were sanded and excess glue removed then stacked together with a false keel and cocktail sticks to check alignment.

They all looked spot on to me :)

 

Then we built a jig to hold the frames while assembling the keel and the frames.

 

Degostini just used a scrap bit of the laser board as a spacer.

 

Not to my liking as its easy to get a twist in the assembly at this point.

What’s not shown is the square that fits on the top to hold everything square.

 

And the Back board made from MDF with a photocopy of the master frame drawing.

 

 

 

That’s about it now until next weekend when my son visits.

 

 

 

Regards Antony and Karl.

Is this one of the models you buy in instalments, or a total kit? It looks quite large in your photos, and an interesting build. Have fun with it. If i like the look of it later I might get some details of it rom you.

Hi.

Having looked at another build :-  hms-victory-cross-section-by-zeptraderuk

He has constructed the deck as removal while building .. Good idea. and adding deck framing more to scale.

Have done me some drawings (basic) that I will use on my build.

Very nice start, Antony & Karl.  This looks like a nice kit!  I am considering a cross section down the road - this one really looks like a nice one!

Note the Staggered overlap. I like the look of the corners.

Still not Finished the Pump house and Shot locker.

 

This is a test on how the treenails will look.

We decided to add the treenails to the planks before planks are added to the model.

All frames are in place on the keel.
