    HMS Victory by Francisco Martinez - Mamoli

    in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800

    Posted

    Hi, I am new to this amazing website. My name is Francisco, 52. from Almeria, Southern Spain.

    I started building this kit about 10 years ago. This fact is of some relevance since the pictures of every step in the building process were lost along with my laptop during a trip, something that I regret to this day. To make up for this slip I attach some pictures of the current state of this vessel. Which, in my opinion is pretty advanced considering the little amount of time that I have devoted to this hobby so far.

    I have some previous experience in building kits, so far, I have built ICTINEO II, AMERICA´S CUP ENDEVOUR, REVENUE CUTTER PILAR and SAN JUAN NEPOMUCENO. 

    According to the manufacturer´s instructions I am in the last steps prior to the rigging stage. In fact I am currently building the cannon ports. To this aim I have built a jig which picture you can find attached and which saves me many hours in order to properly align the hinges and to drill the 1mm hole for the lifting rope.

    I very much hope that you do not get bored with my log and look forward to learning from you all guys.

     

    Cheers 

     Francisco

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.
