Just starting, in Boothbay Maine
GrandpaPhil replied to S Gottlieb's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome! -
I’m glad you guys liked them. I made three today over the course of an hour and a half. Once I sand them all, they should turn out like the last set (I think those turned out well). Although, at 1:98, they are much smaller than last time.

One 12 lb long gun. The first of ten.
-
I’m starting on the cannons. I had a blast making them on the Prince de Neufchatel, so I’m making the rest of them for Victory (plus I liked mine better).
-
I installed the ladders. They are made of poster board. They aren’t perfect, but they are the first generation of ladders that I have scratch built.

Excellent! -
Welcome!

Congratulations! Well done!
-
Thank you, everyone, for all the likes and the comments! I painted the starboard side. I’m happy with it. Time to fit out and arm the upper gun deck and spar deck.
-
The black is done on the starboard side.
-
The Victory now looks like she belongs to Nelson’s fleet. The port side is painted.
-
It’s a useful tool. I found out about them on this forum (I don’t remember who had it). It’s perfect for anything that has to be fitted to the hull. I also intend to use it to make the cradles for the ship’s boats.
-
Just take it slow. Attaching the rudder with the pintles and gudgeons is difficult for me too.
-
I haven’t forgotten about Winchelsea. I am making good progress on Victory. I am trying to finish her by the summer. I still have a couple models to build before I can start Winchelsea, but I very much look forward to building her.
-
I’m still making steady progress on Victory. I haven’t forgotten about the Triton.
-
I made and installed both of the anchor palm blocks. They were carved from 1/4” basswood sheets. At this point, the majority of the hull fittings are done. I need to clean them up a bit, and then I’ll touch up the paint down the sides. I still have some boat davits to make, but I will make those when I make the railings, the hammock netting and the boomkins, netting and anchors up by the head. The head is mostly done (except for what I just mentioned). The stern is mostly done (except for the boat davits). Next up will be the upper gun deck.
-
The starboard side chesstree is made and installed.
-
Thank you all for the likes and the comments! I made my port-side chesstree and installed it. I also installed the second fender on the port-side.
-
Okay, my apologies. I didn’t catch the part about the stern and quarter galleries being prepainted. I had to paint mine and I thought yours were the same.
