    Hi Pucko. Have seen this kit built before. Turns out to be a real eye catcher. Following along with this one. What's the wood quality like ? Regards Antony.

    Hi Mike. Not easy to answer. I think you are right about"My understanding is the opening should be framed twice. Once with with a 0,5 thick plank. Then a 1,5 thick plank. " on Zoran Web site there are colour photos of the build. http://www.marisstella.hr/gotovi_modeli_galery.php?id=126&tip=2 Some close up of the hatch entrance . The 3 boards could be showing the side and the face of one board. Why the 0.5 strip stops ...no idea might be a drafting error. In the circle you have drawn... the 4mm is the width of the bulkhead. The 6mm is also looks like a board width.. 6mm X 0.5.. Again a drafting error (should show width of the 6mm X 0.5mm board.) Not sure on the 0.5mm. Don't know the kit so only guessing. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jeff. Nice progress. Nice to see that you test fit everything that can be test fitted then removed for placement later on. No advice from me..You are making a First class build 😀 Regards Antony.

    Hi Sal. Nice looking kit. I've got my seat booked ..Second row 3rd seat in. Off to a good start. Lego blocks have got a lot to answer for in model ship building. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jeff. Nice work on the on the removal of the bulkhead. ( The lesson here is to dry fit everything before applying any glue). You could always cut machine cut some small blocks to fit between each bulkhead that clamps to the keel.(the blocks would need to be cut dead Square or it will make the keel curve even more). Or cuting a grouve for the keel in plank of spare timber that is flat. You would also need to cut oversize grooves for each bulkheads. Regards Antony.

    Hi Andre. That's a nice looking ship you have there. Is that diagonal planking I see there ?. Will follow along with this one. Regards Antony.

    Hi Van. Nice little kits. We made the Black Queen some time ago. Regards Antony.

    H Jeff. It's the best way to learn by making errors and finding the fix. Antony.

    Hi Jeff. Good advice from Dan above. If the is not in the correct position then remove it and sand the slots until late you get a easy fit. Removing the ash from the joints helps with the bonding. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jeff. Thumbs on each side of the keel fingers on the frame and force it out. Then as Danny said. Just glue it and clamp it flat. All the best Antony.

    Hi Jeff Welcome to MSW. My advice.. for what's it's worth.. buy a smaller kit with a single mast and some rigging. Get your skill's up to scratch with the small kit and then start the Victory. Yeah try and straightening the Keel buy slightly over bending it with weights in the centre. And check it after a few days for straightness. Then redo if nessary. Keel clamps are OK for some models. I have never used them. I make my own business cutting a slot in some spare timber. Not sure you can use a keel clamps on this kit in the early stages of construction. Keel is added after planking ?. Not sure. There are a few build logs for the Constructo victory. Suggest you find one and have a read through. https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6684-hms-victory-by-paul0367-constructo-scale-1-94-first-wooden-ship-build/& Is a nice build. Will follow you along with this one. Antony

    Hi. Please don't forget about the types of wood dust that can be toxic. And also include it's uses and storage. Regards Antony.

    Hi Eddie. You got my interest. Looking good so far. Regards Antony
  21. AntonyUK
    Hi Tom. Nice to have you aboard. You might be interested in the next build.. same ship but Much larger. She will be a scratch built from these panart plans using the hull shape and outlines. Keel is already cut front Cherry. Drawing will be done as I progress with the build. Regards Antony.

    Hi. A little update. Its been a while since my last post here. With lots of Good reasons.. First i'me a granddad now A baby boy called Maverick. Mum and maverick are very well . Lots of time spent in that direction at the moment.. Have done bits like a plank a side a day. Its slow but it getting there. This is the easy bit.. Much more done here. if I was single planking this model I could not do it without spilling the planks. The little small black clamps are something I knocked up to hold the planking in place. Close up of the clamps in action. They are made from Acetal/Delrin that I have in my workshop. they work very well without slipping. The pin that holds the plank can be made off anything. I used a 3mm bolt with a piece of nylon tube to protect the Planks. The little square of plywood in the bulkhead thickness. Will make a drawing if wanted. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony (Gramps)

    Hi. Now that what I call co-operation. Looks as if you are great bunch. And down to the taven for a pint afterwards. Well done to all of you. Regards Antony.

    Hi. What a wonderfully project. So much information missing but I think you people have got your work cut out. At that scale you will get a real good idea on how the original ship was constructed. Will you be making a set of drawings on your findings and publish it ?. Gonna follow this build with great interest. Regards Antony.

    Hi. The frames are now faired and checked with planks for correct angles. The rebate has been cut into the keel. There is no mention of doing this on any of the plans or drawings.. This will be trimmed when adding planks. The garboard strake is in place on one side at the moment and the other is cut but not yet in place. fairing done on both sides with planks fitting well. Rebate cut and will need adjusting as I fit the garboard strake. The stern area. Found the plywood to be very soft and care was needed when fairing the frames. I will be removing the 2 layers each side from the keel and fitting a cap as in the photo above. This is just a test to see if it works. The rebate is 2 layers deep so the removal will be easy. garboard strake in place. Strange shape But it fits well. Garboard in place.. close up. The assembly up to now has been easy. With the use of clothes pegs to hold the parts while the glue sets. Will post as the planking continues. Regards Antony.
