Rich.F got a reaction from Sjors in HMS Victory by Rich.F - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72
Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated.
I have PVA/Wood Glue, the hull, tonight i'm going to sand it, then fill it.
I have finished for now, the upper gun fixings and the steps to the lower deck. I'm not going to add these until i have finished the hull copper plating.

I then continued to but the tiles on both sides for 4 rows up, then the last few tiles of that row I kept tight on the vertical because the last stealer needs inserting.
Fill in the gaps, I then laid out a row of tiles on inverted masking tape. then I measured the stern post top and bottom.
Using a sharp knife I cut the tiles.
Starting from the bottom I carefully removed them 1 at a time and fixed them to the stern post.

I still think its worth painting the hull in copper so the white doesn't show through the inevitable gaps in the tiling so a coat of primer will hopefully stop any mote absorption and give a base for the copper paint

Day 1:
Apart from trying to punch my pedestal hole in the wrong place "Should have marked them out first" so far so good, all looking ship shape.
I'll replace that one at the end if I have tiles left.

Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated.
The Hull is coming along the last few night I have been touching up the paint work, as we have a few friends round for amean so ""wife"" said i need to keep the house clean n tidy.
I'm no the last little bit of the hull.
I should have this done this weekend, Depending if I get call out into work
I have just been looking at the picture, not really noticed it in the UK day light ! , a few area on the bow needs to be buffed out, I this i think ill leave till all the hull is done and give it a good going over in one go.
