leginseel reacted to drobinson02199 in HMS Victory by drobinson02199 - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:72
I've drilled the holes for the dummy barrels -- sort of. In the waist area of the boat, the dummy barrel strips rise behind the second level gunports to a point where there's no way to drill a centered hole -- nothing but air there. I drilled off-center holes anyway, but I think for those I'm going to have to put in a jury-rigged fix to keep the cannon barrels aligned.
I'll have to drill a hole in a short piece of first planking, put the dummy barrel in the hole, and then using super glue, place the short planking back in the rear of the gunport such that the hole is centered and the barrel is aligned, but at least one end of the planking glues to the part of the barrel strip that's visible.
It should work if I align the barrels for the centered holes first. It's a "down the line" step (mounting the dummy barrels), but that's the solution I"ll try.

David

I've lined the gunports on the starboard side. I really like the look of the 3 colors together. I slightly flared the linings inward on the lower two gunport rows to show off the red just a bit more. Can't do it on the top row as the lining orientation is governed by being attached to templates at front and back.
Regards,
David

Try as I might I cannot upload these images in the right profile, so please accept my apologies for the state of them. But if there is a genius out there who knows what I've done wrong I'd be very pleased to hear from you.
This is my current progress with the build and will now go into a 3 month break as Im flying back to UK next week. Any comments or criticisms greatly appreciated.

I knew that there would be a reasonable explanation, thank you javajon, I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to stuff like that.
I'm due to fly to UK on Thursday having been in Turkey for two years so this will be my last post for 3 to 4 months. I'll miss my Victory but I'll get to play with the grandkids instead. Take care everyone and see you in 2022.

Hi Nigel,
I'm guessing you are using a cell phone to take pictures. The camera's rotation information is stored in the photo, but the actual picture itself remains in its original orientation. MSW doesn't look at that information when the pic is uploaded. Most photo editing tools recognize it, and will rotate the picture.
If you are on Windows, a simple way to fix the orientation is to open up the picture in Paint, and save a copy. That will re-orient the actual photo itself. The saved copy should then upload to MSW in the proper orientation.
Your Victory build is looking awesome!
John

I have just started on the same model. Your build log is excellent and has already helped me and given some positive ideas on how to solve a few issues that I was concerned about. Brilliant well done and I will definitely be using you log as a tutorial, thank you.

I read further on before I did this and decided to paint the sides black on mine and also install a floor to the lower gun deck ports so that later on when lining I won’t drop stuff into the hull.

That "floor" idea is a great one. I already have some miscellaneous wood chips rattling around inside my hull.

Ran the second planking down to the keel, and up to just below the gun deck gunports, where I have to stop in order to install the gun deck and inside gun deck gunport templates.
While the manual doesn't say anything about it, I found that I had to cut the deck lengthwise into two pieces in order to shape the edges to fit, and to have any hope of gluing it down. Two pics show the effect of the cut.
Then I had to take a lot off the inside gunport templates to get them to fit. I used the one I shaped by trial & error as a template to line off the other one, and you can see how much has to be taken off the bottom.
Best regards,
David

Continued with the planking of the rear and main decks. This is a long model, measuring almost 24" in length and 6" wide. My decking plank are 4 mm wide and 120mm long. This is going to take quite a few evenings work.

Hi guys I had a bit of a nightmare as I've had to spend so much time looking after my wife and travelling back and forward to various hospitals so I haven't been posting in my log as I should but I have finally completed my Bounty. Here are my final photos
Please forgive the lack of detailed progress pictures. All I have to do now is make a base and a glass or perspex cover. Thank you all for following my build, i've thoroughly enjoyed doing it over the past two and half years. I have to say that the encouragement and advice gained from this site has been invaluable, thank you.

Hi Guys, thank you so much for all your kind remarks. My wife is getting along nicely thank you. She has had M.S. for the past 35 years and she is undergoing some new treatment which will not cure it but we are hoping that it will stop it from getting much worse. As a consequence I'm not taking on any new big projects for the time being. I had planned to do a Victory but that is very much on the back burner now. Consequently I'm trying my hand at some Dioramas, which keep me occupied and don't take up too much time. One or two of you have been asking for photos with apologies to the administrators but these will be the last posts by me on here, so here goes. The last ones are still work in progress but the others are complete. Thank you guys for all your support.
