I have been building a 1:60 scratch model of the H.M.S. Victory for the past 12 years. I am ready to start on the stern structure and this was very helpful. I have essentially completed the hull (inner planking, frames, outer planking and coppering), but was delaying the stern section until I prepared the rest of the hull structure due to its relative fragility. I have left two segments in the starboard hull open so that the viewer can see the ship's interior. I have almost completed the hold with the filling room, great magazine, light room, pump room, etc. and have filled it in will various barrels, casks, powder barrels, bags, and other nautical gear to demonstrate actual use. I am just about completed the hold and am ready to build in the orlop deck now with the hanging magazines, sail room, etc. I have left part of the decking out so that the viewer can see the ship's interior for key areas (e.g., magazine, pump room, etc.). I generally only see "admiralty models" in the museums, so it was interesting to see the frames and half-frames of your model that reflect the actual mode of construction. Well done. I have used a similar approach and look forward to working on the stern with the aid of your photos of the stern section. THANKS!
