Hello Jeff. Looking very nice. As the others have said Very nice planking. A interesting cross section. Regards Antony. -
Hello Shipmates. Thank you all for your very nice comments. It is a very nice encouragement to continue and improve my skills. I really am enjoying this build as there is so much to do. The new bits so far I have learnt are :- Drawing up plans and resurching details. learning to use my saw. (Never cut wood before with a power saw.) The planning of a method of construction. So important.( planning ahead) What timbers are available to me. And where I can use them. This list just shows what a newbie I am to Scratch building model ships LOL Just started cutting timber for the Orlop deck so will post a few pictures tonight of my progress. And will post a photo of the completed hold. Regards Antony.

Hi Nick. I wish I lived neer Portsmouth. Then I would just pop in to the Victory for information that books don't show or describe. So glad you are enjoying it. So an I. It's my first scratch build and it's really interesting and satisfying to do something from from making the drawings to building. Regards Antony.

Hi. Great to have you aboard. Is it possible for you to edit your build title to include your name and scale you will be working to.( have a look at the way other builders have done it) A name would be very nice Please. We like to be able to address fellow builders by name if possible You will find some brilliant builds here and most of us are first time scratch builders. Your workmanship looks really good You can find the files in the next Tab down marked Triton Download Section. This was not visible to you before being granted access. Now you have the job of downloading the files and printing them. All the best. Antony.

Hello shipmates. Thanks Floyd and Michael for your nice comments Have been a lot longer fitting the ryders than planed. I wanted a good fit and I have kept them A little rough finish as they would not have spent in the hold making things look nice. Started to fit the ryders last night so will post more photos tonight. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. A Update.. Spent a bit of time doing the treenails in the hold area over the weekend. The Dark treenails were soaked in stain for 1 hour then air dried they are tooth picks and I used a 0.8mm drill. The light ones are normal tooth picks with a 0.6mm drill. Close up view. Will start to fix the ryders later on tonight. Will use the 1.1mm copper wire and also glue to hold them in place. More pictures to follow as I proceed. Regards Antony.

Not possable to do so until they have been assembled and fixed. More tomorrow. Regards Antony.

Hello Floyd. Not until next week. Got a lot of work to do before fixing anything in the hold. Ryders are now finished and the storage area is under construction. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Done quite a lot of work but as yet not photographed anything. I did change the hinges on the shot lockers. As you can see they are very small and they come with the pins. A single Hatch. All the Hatches. And made up the main mast. Will post more tomorrow evening. Regards Antony.

Hello Jeff. Looking very nice. Lots of good construction tips and ideas. Regards Antony.

Hi Jeff. Nice to have you aboard. Yes the doors and the latch is functional. I intend to make anything that I can work. I have been challenged to get the chain pumps working. Working on the idea at the moment. Will also have flickering lights in the Hold and the Orlop deck. Because this is such a large scale I can include things that would not be possible at the smaller scales. Making the ryders at the moment. Not easy Regards Antony.

Hello Jeff. I am very impressed with the kit and the build. Panart have made a nice job with this kit Keep up the good work. Regards Antony.

Hello Giorgio. As others have said a stunning build. Looking at all your close up photos I thought it was the full size ship I was looking at. It's only the red "g" clamps and the pencil that gave the game away. Excellent workmanship. Regards Antony. -
Hello Jeff. Looking real nice and you are a fast builder. The kit looks really nice from the pictures you have posted Keep up the good work and plan ahead. Regards Antony.

Hi. Just a update :- The timber in the Hold is now in place. I used Black card to simulate the chulking and will start the treenailing next week. And made the Mast Step. Made up the corner posts for the Pump house and quite happy with my first attempt at cutting a profile Planks are fitted and not glued at this point Nice fit. Also Made the Pump house. and the Shot lockers. Will start on the Ryders next.. Not sure on how I will do this as each set will be different size. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony.

Hello Jeff. Look's like a nice kit. Sounds like a good plan on the sequencing. Keep the decks sealed from dust as you progress upward on the next deck's. Oil and stains collect the dust and it's hard to remove after. ): Will follow this build as I like my cross sections and was looking at this one for the future. Regards Antony.
-
Hello Rusty. I think we are all looking forward to the next installment of your build Regards Antony.
