A bit more -- there is nice molding to dress the area where the planked deck meets the bulkhead. See before & after pics. [and again, pictures in reverse order]

James, forgive me if I am interpreting this wrongly, but does it mean that until you build the Amati version of the 1:64 kit, and they (Amati), then develop the PE. masts etc. we will not see this released? This could take a considerable amount of time, depending on how fast you build of course. Would I be not far off the mark to suggest a couple of years at least?
Cheers

[EDIT NOTE: As sometimes happens on this site, the pictures came out in reverse order from what I intended]
I'm stuck at the moment because there aren't enough copper plates in the kit to finish the job -- by about 400. Ages of Sail is sending me more, but in the meantime I'm working around it to the extent I can, which is limited.
I've mentioned above that I used a different approach to copper each side of the hull. On the first side I started at the keel, then worked up a bit, then went to the waterline, worked down, and then fitted the two together. You can see that in the picture below.
On the second side (the one I plan to display), I started at the waterline and am working down (you can see where I ran out of plates). As the picture shows, it's a much better looking pattern up close.
From 3 feet or more away, the first side looks fine, but the display side looks much better.

David

A couple of days ago I applied a coat of oil for wood, to nourish the wood itself and highlight its colors. So I had to wait a couple of days for the oil to be completely absorbed by the wood and leave dry the model surfaces. Now the model can be manipulated again and I am providing the tree nailing of the wales and vertical reinforcements.
Below is a review of model images taken this morning in natural light. Good vision. Jack.

That coppering sure looks tedious David, but the end result is well worth the time and effort I reckon. Great job as usual.

I haven't posted in a while because I've been coppering, coppering, coppering . . .
One side now done -- picture attached. I started on the side I don't plan to display so I could learn from it. Results are fine, but on the other side I think I'll start at the waterline and bring it down to the keel, where the final fitting of odd pieces and shapes will be easier. On this side, I did it where the bottom and top layers met, and it was a LOT of cutting, filing, and fitting.
I'm a bit concerned about my supply of copper plates, but we'll see how that goes. May have to call Ages of Sail for a "make good".

David

Doing my best James! Just wish I could actually see the real thing in Portsmouth. What a piece of living history you guys have over there. Please keep us informed on any updates re: the Amati version of Chris's build. Thank You.
Cheers

WOW! Thanks Chris. I can only hope this model will be released soon before I pull the trigger and buy the Caldercraft version. It is simply stunning and a great credit to you.
Cheers

Hey Chris, are you able to post more pictures of your Amati Victory in various stages? Totally understand if for moral/legal reasons you cant, but if you don't ask, you don't get.
Cheers
