    Haha, yes, the instructions are terrible. So glad we got the internet now, that's more valuable then the bloody manual
  13. Erik H
    Finally got some work done .. slow going and not much time to work on the Victory. Second planking on the port side is done. Could have been a cleaner job but I'm not unhappy with it Erik

    They must have changed a lot
  24. Erik H
    They must have changed that over the years. These are wood parts. I think you can buy them on their website https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/ (currently down, new site under development) Another link http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/mantua-laser-etch.html
  25. Erik H
    Hahaha nice And, same here, all the extra bits did cost more then the kit itself lol, but so far well worth it. Erik
  26. Erik H
    Yeah .. followed the instructions and now I'm left with a challenge there I'll think off something to get the guns in there once I get the planking done. Working on both sides now. Erik
  27. Erik H
    I think these are the ones you're talking about They're not too bad and I think they will work for me. Been a pain cleaning them and I recently started painting them, bottom left is done. Maybe, just maybe, I'll order a few extra bits and pieces to add to it https://www.shapeways.com/product/Z3AEMH3UQ/1-78-hms-victory-stern-gallery-decoration?optionId=9864351

    They're much bigger in the kit then on the real ship. This being my first complete hull I decided to stick with the kit Erik
  29. Erik H
    Thanks Bill

    Finally another update Had to correct an error. The tapering towards the bow was not going well, the planks were going up too steep (you can see that clearly in the last posted image) I'm happy with the new line I found. The next few planks are going on very smoothly now. Also started some preparations on the galleries. Erik
  31. Erik H
    thx all Been very busy and have not had much time to work on the victory. Hope to have an update soon(ish)
  32. Erik H
    Thx And I have no idea, it's all kit supplied. I'll see if I can find the parts list, it might mention the type of wood. Partlist found .. type of wood is not mentioned. The darker ones could be walnut. Erik

    Hey Rick, I got the figurehead and the trophy of arms and also the lanterns from cornwallmodelboats in the uk. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft-figureheads.html http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_decorations.html http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_lanterns.html The monograms I got from https://www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/ And I received some more replacement parts yesterday from https://www.shapeways.com/shops/victoryparts?s=0&section=Scale+1%3A78 (The rigols) Think I spend more on the extra bits then I did on the model so far (got the model for a little over 100 euro) Start your build also Erik
  34. Erik H
    small update, second planking is going slow
  35. Erik H
    Hey John, Hahaha, must be the old kit then. Still got rudimentary plans and the booklet is very poorly translated indeed. But luckely there's tons of information to be found on the internet now. I hope to visit the ship myself someday Erik

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.
