Diverted from the directions a bit, by trying to make the attachment a little bit more realistic . I think it was pretty successful. It is now attached.

Thank you Brian. I will look into this replacement program.

As for your recommendations for using the planking as a thickness meter, I like it and will likely implement it.

Little break from my AVS until I get the courage to cut the rabbet. Some sail furling.

Most certainly will !

Hi Nils,

I typically like Sailing rather than steam or modern era vessels but you may have converted me.

Your build is outstanding this far. Excellent craftsmanship!

Thanks for the advice Dave !
I am using the first chapter (free teaser) as support. I cannot get myself to broke the bank for the full guide. There is other tools I would prefer to invest  in instead.
 
Some drama with a bulkhead, which broke in 2 when doing the dry fitting. I guess this is learning experience #1: bulkhead = fragile.
I was able to get it fixed.
I traced the bearding line in preparation to start on the rabbet line. The direction for this step are rather cryptic and requires some head scratching. Any suggestions?

So it began! 

Freed the bulkheads and removed some of the laser burn marks. First challenge, the keel is warped, I will need to make it straight again.

Thank you Alistair! I will certainly reach out. Your log has been bookmarked along with Brian's, Zoltan's and Dave's.

Exciting, looking forward to your next post!

Very nice progress! Your patient and detailled approach will certainly produce some ourstanding results.

Thank you guys!

I will for sure have a ton of questions. I bookmarked and looked at a bunch of building log for the AVS. Definitely some great advises and visual helps.

Issue resolved!! 

I emailed Corel on Friday and received a response this morning. Excellent customer service and response time.

Here are the direction in case someone needs them in the future.

After a lot of back and forth between the Fair American and this kit, I decided to go for the AVS.

It seems to be a fun and exciting build. I think it would be a great opportunity to get some additional skills for the next build on my shelf: Fair American, HMS Unicorn, ...

Let's begin!

Hi All,

Not sure if this is the right location, so I apologize in advance if it is not.

I own a kit for the Corel Cross Section HMS Victory SM9. It is the older version and the direction are only in Italian. I can do French or English but Italian...

I am looking to get some help or maybe a copy of them if anyone as them.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

JP

She is looking great! Very sexy lines.

For now, it will be in my office.

So happy to be done and already thinking about my next projects: finish the Flyer and determining the next build.

2 options:

- cross section of the Victory

- Fair American

I am done!!!!

almost there!!

Tonight, I made a stand For the drakkar. I did not like whether they provided with the kit . I attached the sail and prepare Or installed almost all rigging,

Nextstep will be to attach the last 6 Oars, Fix the Sail and maybe some light weathering.

Thanks Elijah! I am thinking about it but I have not made a final decision yet.

It is getting exciting to be on the final stretch.

Mast attached. Shields are done And attached.

Very nice result!! It was worth all the efforts I put in.

Nice work Mark!!

It is very coming along nicely.

First pic of the shield making process.

More painting to do but this is the main idea.

Just been catching up to your build. You are doing such an amazing work on her. I have this kit and will be definitely following your progress.

The details to the stern and the carving are looking amazing. Great work!
