    I guess most people will want to build the Hollywood ship which definetly does not have red gun carriages. They do look great built up with the coats of arms and the names. Some people may want to do the stern chasers in Bronze as per the books and film too. I think every build of this will end up being different, I for one look forward to what people do with this kit.

    I had forgotten decals were in my Indi kit. I do agree with the comment on adding musical instruments to the furniture. Enjoy the build James.

    Decals for the cannon names? Intresting Chris has gone for Decals for depth markers also. It will be nice if the long table fits the cabin for those wanting to emulate the film. Looking forward to getting my hands on this, following the prototype build with intrests.

    Thanks for the shoutout for my channel (Modelkit Stuff). I have a good number of first time builders following the build.

    I reviewed the kit on YouTube when it first came out, it has the wrong hull and the capstans are incorrectly orientated so it needs a lot of surgery, It could be that that is putting them off?? see part 2 for full explanation.

    Hi Just wondering if you know what material this is? I am about to start my build of this but want to put margin planks in. The instructions refer to the material as a reference number 3258L but there is no cross referance so have no clue what material it is.
  32. Jase
    like everybody epic is what you want it to be. straight kit build, in my view the Caldercraft Victory is the mother of all ship kits
  33. Jase
    Just catching up on your build, truly fab. about to start my Warrior so may well refer to you for some tips Jason

    Second planking begins on the stern counter using the 1 x 4mm walnut strip. The instructions recommend using medium super glue for the second layer of planking. However this cures very quickly, almost instantly if the plank is wet. So I continued to use the wood glue as this gives time to position planks and remove them if necessary. Once the planking on the stern set you I sand the outboard edges back into line. I will be both painting and copper plating my model, however I will be planking without the use of pins to. The planking of the hull starts with placing the wale. I marked out the position in pencil using the plans. The first plank laid is 2mm between the first and last gunport but will be 1.5mm passing the middle gunports. The second layer of planking continues down the hull from the bottom the whales. The first two or three planks did not need any tapering. The kit instructions ask you to continue to plank as per the first layer down to the keel. My preferred method however is put a keel plank in early on.
