Now, I need to paint the guns and the frames, along with catching any touch ups that need done.

I have made some more progress. I painted the insides of the gunport frames red. I still have some more detail painting to go, but I’m making progress.
I also started mounting the dummy guns into their mounting blocks. I made the discovery that I have to be really careful to avoid splitting due to the age of the kit.
I ordered 160 HO scale eyebolts to make the gunport lids as historically accurate as possible.
I’m having much fun with this build.

Thank you. Yes, I just drilled a bunch of small holes, close together, and cut them out with an X-acto knife with a #11 blade.

Started installing my gunports.
In my lessons learned file, next time I am framing in my gunports BEFORE planking.
I have made the discovery that my gundecks are not exactly where they need to be in relation to the gunports, which I cut IAW the provided template . This means that my gunports will be closed and the Victory rigged under full sail. Oh, well, there’s always next time.
Plus, a model under full sail is always a very impressive sight! 😀

I had to take a break to make some stuff for my Admiral, but I’m back to it.
I am currently working on the rudder.
I beveled it properly, fitted it and painted it, above the waterline. I am currently coppering it below the waterline.

I’m currently gathering information while finishing my build of the Victory.
This will be my first scratch build.
I’m going to build the Triton in plank on bulkhead fashion, because I am familiar with it.
I am looking forward to starting the Triton.
