These days i have recieve my next ship model to start after finish SAN ILDEFONSO...Is the Number 495 from 999 parts of the Britisch Ship HMS VICTORY from OCCRE. The price isn't cheap,but is a quality kit in limited copies (999 only) and all copies are numbered with plate. It came in a 16 kilos package...in a wooden case...So after i finish this model, i will start that...
-

Finish the same job in the left side of the ship. Move up now....
-
Now i start the rigging. I put in place the shrouds for the foremast using thread 0,80 brown. Then the ratlines using brown thread 0,15. After the two anckors with all the equipment, as shown in the manual. The same must be made for the other side of the ship and go on...
-
Now i put six blocks from wooden pins, both sides of the ship. To be sure that the block doesn't move from place,when threats are tide on them,i nail them with two nails for each block. I also cement metal cleats where the manual shows. Finally eyebolts are placed around the masts and in other places according to the manual. Now i am ready to start the threats and put in place the foremast.
-
Now i finish the third must with the three yards. I didin't cement in place. All will be removed for the rigging, so not to make any damage. I put in place one by one, begining from the foremast and so one. A lot of threads....stay tunned...
-
Now i finish the four yards of the main mast. Paint and put it in place without cementing because is easier to place the ropes in the center of the ship and after put them in place permanent. Now i proceed to mizzen mast. the shortest one.
-
Now i finish the main mast. As seen in the photos the total hight of the model with the base is now aprox. 37 inches (94.5 cm) I start now the four yards as the fore mast.
-
Now i start the main mast, the taller one...I make the two first parts with all the equipment. Blocks and ropes. I will paint it when i finish it.
-
Now i finish the foremast with the four yards placed but not cement. I will make the other two masts in the same way..
