Hi Colin. Very nice I also would like to know how you finished the Orlop deck so nicely. Regards Antony. -
Hi. I have been looking around for a small bench saw. I found lots of information on the Proxxon FET but a lot of the information is quite negative and I don't want to spend cash on rubbish. The Jim Byrnes saw keeps coming up as a very nice bit of kit.. I have contacted Jim (today) to see if there are any distributors in the UK. And to enquire on the price for shipping to the UK. Now the question I am asking is. :- Are there any decent small bench saws in the UK ? Would be interested to hear from fellow modellers that use a bench saw and there views on what's required for modeling. Thanks in advance Antony.

Hi. Second time I have read through the compleat log. Very nice work and nice use of the mill and rotary chuck. I have the same kit to build in the future. Will take your build as a guide and target to standards that I would like to achieve. Please continue posting as its a real inspiration to me and others. Regards Antony.

Hi Colin. Very Nice work. I like the idea of having the Orlop being removable while working on it I also like the extra beams..Adds much more detail and looks just right. Still folowing this build as I have just started mine. Regards Antony.

Hi Tom. It's nice to hear that you have made a recovery and getting back into ship modeling Nice work there. Coming along nicely. I have just started my build of the same DeAgostini victory. I also used Lime for the planking and Walnut. A question .. What is the notch in the keel for ? And a second question . Are you going to build as per instructions or bash the kit ? Regards Antony.

Hi With the Corel Victory cross section almost completed we ( me and my son ) decided to start on this build. I will bash the kit as and when we come to it. Lots of little things as far as I can see. We started by removing the frames from the laser cut boards. some boards were distorted a little but this is not cause for concern. a very sharp knife was used for this cutting both sides of the board. We then sanded most of the charring from the frames with a nail board. made easy work of the charring. All the frames were offered together and with minimum sanding to make a perfect fit. Then glued the frames together in place over photocopies of the master frame drawing.(7 frames 7 copies). Then all the frames were sanded and excess glue removed then stacked together with a false keel and cocktail sticks to check alignment. They all looked spot on to me Then we built a jig to hold the frames while assembling the keel and the frames. Degostini just used a scrap bit of the laser board as a spacer. Not to my liking as its easy to get a twist in the assembly at this point. What’s not shown is the square that fits on the top to hold everything square. And the Back board made from MDF with a photocopy of the master frame drawing. That’s about it now until next weekend when my son visits. Regards Antony and Karl.

Hi. My views are different from the others. But seeing you have asked.. Not so happy with Corel HMS Victory cross section. Instructions are very poor. And Corel left out a lot of detail that could have been added. The wood was very good. But some of the fittings were unusable with out a lot of modification. Hammock stays we're trashed as the holes were at completely the wrong angle. Rigging blocks were trashed. Not all the fittings were there according to the list supplied. I don't normally diss things but this kit was poor. Regards Antony.

Brand new to wood ship modeling and could use some advice.
AntonyUK replied to Enderwiggin's topic in Wood ship model kits
Hi and welcome to MSW. I have just got back into model ship building and the choices are huge. I opted for building the Triton cross section. This option gives me the choice of timber and the amount of detail to put into the build. Also cost is low as MSW provide all the plans. There are several builds in progress at the moment and it might be of interest to you Best of luck Antony. -
Hi Michel. Have just finished reading through this build log.. WOW. I must say I felt like putting a "like" on every page you posted.. A fantastic build and the workmanship is astounding to say the least. And it's a very nice ship with some interesting lines. I have has the pleasure of sailing on one of thease some 16 years ago. Regards Antony.

Hi. Watch the height position of the gun ports. My plan put then a little low. When I made up the guns I had to remove 3mm from the tops of the gun ports to make the guns fit correctly. So make up one of each size cannons and check from the inside that it will run into the port. As far as the cutting... Chain drill holes Keeping the drill at the same level as the decks. Then with a Very Sharp knife remove the rest. As E&T did. TIP :- When drilling put bit into drill then put a soft plastic tube on the drill bit to stop you drilling to deep and hitting deck furniture. Acts as a depth stop. Regards Antony.

Hi. Just to Add. Apart from the details that Coral have got wrong.. the kit timber was OK and more than enough for the build. The only issue's that I have with the kit are The rigging blocks are very poor and I replaced 99% of them. And the Hammock stays are poor as the hole in them is at an angle. poor batch. Thease were replaced. Regards Antony.

The Saga continues.. Gun ports cut into sides. All decks in place. And Hull planked. I have mislaid some photos.. Will find them and add later. Regards Antony.
