             Ronald 

great job you are doing on the Victory Michael 

   I have two questions for you 1) how did you paint the bulk heads black with out getting any on the outside 

2) where do  you come across the build jig that is nice 

                                  Ronald 

love the work you are doing on the Victory Ian  may I ask how did you paint the inside of the bulkheads black with out getting paint on the ribs 

                        Ronald 

Hello there 

   this is for all the members who built or is near completion of the Caldercraft victory 

    could you tell me the dimensions of the longest yard of the ship not worried about the 

   length and  the height of the ship/kit; thank you 

                        Ronald 

 hey Steve shipwright was saying he  prefers  the ship with out the sails  not about the paint job that is what he saying 

   I'm with him I do not care for the sails either it hides most of the rigging work 

                              Ronald 

Nice work on the victory Erick 

   but may I ask how did you find the monograms from the Syren model ship company 

did you ask them 

                           Ronald

Greetings,
Another update. I completed the port side of the main deck gun ports. I thought they came out rather well. Slimming down the interfering bulkheads and cutting one off is a real pain. I can't wait to see how much trouble this is going to be on the quarterdeck and middle and lower gun decks.

I had my first service problem with my Byrnes saw in it's 15 +/_ years service. The switch went out. First, the polarity reversed and I continued to use it even though it wasn't safety smart. Then it died. 30 minutes to buy it and 15 minutes to install the replacement switch. And, away we mill.
I need to get a start milling the .045 in planking. There's a lot to do.

A little wood filler in the gaps and a good sanding should take care of most of the defects.  Most everything will be covered the second planking. The rest of the markings have been added to the upper sills.

It is worth noting; maybe: At first glace the gun ports on the three decks appear to be symmetrical. Not so. I was looking at the Corel template and they had some of them offset. I thought it was poor manufacturing. Not so again. I took a look in AOS and sure enough there are offsets between the decks.

 

Next up completing the gun decks and quarterdeck gun ports p/s. This is going to take some time. Next

update might be a while.

 

Regards to all

    where are the photos ? 

LOL I might download the instructions my self and compare it the kit instructions 

ooh ok that's what I thought  I  will thanks 

I forgot to ask you do you mean the European model space site 

                        Ronald 

yes you are right about holding off and today they the ones from the UK replied back to me and told me they will be contacting their head office about seeing if they could ship the kit to me in the states so anyway we will see, about the downloaded instructions do you think it will work with the OcCre kit 

                                Ronald 

 thanks Michael 

   this information  is for everyone but I just found out yesterday to know that the Santisima Trinidad model space version sold  by the UK sister site only is not offered to anyone from the US at all unless you write to the international model space and I heard from one model space member it will not be offered to the US I hope he is wrong but I did write to the UK sister site asking why is that I was going to sell mine and go with there's because the instructions are really good any comments on what I said please enlighten me  PS I hope I'm wrong to thank you 

                          Ronald

I have a couple of  questions for you  the replacement boats you got from model expo were they the correct scale for the Royal  Louis 1/90 scale, are they a set of boats and are they still available, for future reference thank you

Royal Louis

   post and photos of this build or do I need the permission of the administrator because it will help me when I ever start mine after my Victory is finished thank you 

                              Ronald
