Not a lot left to do on the hull now, after all the recent work. More gunport lids (and ropes) to do and the rest of the safety netting. I'm going to replace the green netting (that came with the kit) on the stairs, as I think the black (tuille) looks much better. I'm then going to use some milliput to fashion some hammocks to go round the outside.- Pretty much done at that point and I can finally move on to the masts and rigging!

Done some gun ports recently. The kit only shows the lid itself and I wanted to additionally recreate the ropes that hold the lid open. Chose (after some trials) a 0.5mm hemp thread that gives a reasonable look I think.

Back to it. Wanted to build some representation of the firebuckets to hang behind the binnacle (now in situ). Used circles to give 4 buckets, printed with the crown emblem on. Look slightly too big but they'll do, given nothing came with the kit.

Belaying pins added and first gunport doors. Stern finished with the painting of the black strips between the windows and the rudder and chain added.

Continuing building up the detail. Taffrail added. It's too big, compared to the original, but it's so much better than the flat wooden one provided in the kit, that I'm happy with the compromise.

Boyd! Awesome work, mate. She looks absolutely beautiful. It's only when you do a Victory yourself (in this scale), that you can really appreciate the level of work, time, commitment (and skill) involved in getting her to look like this. Many congratulations, that's a stunning job! Any plans on next one? HMS Pickle to give yourself a bit of a break (but that goes nicely with "Vicky")! ps been off having Daughter number 5 (i know, I know). Charlotte Rose Victoria.....only afterwards did it dawn on Mrs Knotty that I'd snuck references to both "Mary" and "Vicky" into her middle names suggestions! lol

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.
