    Hi.
    New here. I see that any medium of ship can be shown here as a build.
     
    Mine will be from the Heller Kit, but with Dafi's etch sets.
     
    Will also scratch build most of the deck detail from the lower deck to the poop deck.
    Materials used will be the plastic, PE and resin.






    Some of the etch I will be using.




    Will be altering the hull steps to the later part of Victory's career.
     
    Also using evergreen and syrin rope, blocks and other items.

    Hope you find this Interesting.

    Books I am using are:-
     
     
    Anatomy of HMS Victory= by John McKay.
    Seaforth Historical Ships, HMS Victory= by Jonathan Eastland & Iain Ballantyne.
    Owners workshop manual of HMS Victory=by Haynes(Royal Navy).
    The Anatomy of Nelsons ships=by C Nepean Longridge.
    Rigging period ships = by Lennarth Petersson.

    Started by removing the single style steps.


    Having studded the plans I found the lug support for the bower anchor was in the wrong place, so had to make another.


    Using evergreen plastic for this item.


    Cleared all detail:- three feathers(later for a crown), removed the Victory name plate from the rear

    Will replace with the Dafi fret of this sign.


    More soon Foxy

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
