Looking very nice my friend. I do believe that bus was at Chatham, unless you drove it down to Portsmouth

Thanks Lawrence for the kind words, No plans to go into business with these. If you'd like to buy something similar (but probably better), check out Chuck's blocks on his Syren Company site. I have simply used his method to make my own.

That's one monster kit Kevin! I'll follow along with interest too, even though it's you who have left us (woodies that is). Do you plan to keep your Vic going in parallel, or are you taking a total break from wood?

Hey, great story Mahuna. As a proud owner of both Sherline lathe and Mill (and more accessories than I care to let my wife know about ) it's nice to read about such fabulous customer support. I'm glad for you that you had such an opportunity.

Welcome home John. It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful trip, capped off by the opportunity to meet with some of the truly wonderful people from this forum. Now, get in the shipyard and get back to work!

Jsiegel17, Welcome to my log. I am truly glad if my humble build has inspired a return to your own build. I thought mine had been going a little while, having started in 1996, but it seems you have about ten years on me! As long we remind ourselves that it's not a race, well be okay! Do you have a build log of your own? If not, it's never too late to start one It will be your best source of advice, encouragement, and inspiration. In the meantime, if I can be of any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Danny, For the benefit of any Aussies wondering, you can order LoS online here: http://www.polymerclay.com.au/xlgel2liverofsulphurextendedlifegel2oz-p-12378.html I have some and it works really well.

Okay you lot, stand aside or lose a limb!!! I'm coming through - a little late, but in time for a second row seat at least I hope. Looks to be a really interesting subject John, I'll join the crowd and applaud as usual.

HMS Sussex by mij - Scale 1:48
gjdale replied to mij's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Can you tell us the model number of the one on the right in the photo please? I can't seem to spot it on the Proxxon site. Looks cool though! -
Hi Eric, Welcome to the MSW forum from Down Under! Sorry to hear of your troubled start but I'm sure it will get rectified soon. I think you have chosen probably the best Victory kit currently on the market and I wish you well with it. While there are a number of CC Victory builds here, and even more from other manufacturers, I do recommend that you have a look through Gil Middleton's build log. I think his is a great guide for any Victory builder, with lots of tips and tricks to guide your way. I look forward to following your progress.

I think that will be a good choice Clare. A nice contrast to draw the eye to a feature of the build.

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.
