cheers Jason,, i looked at a lot of Victory models and couldn`t find one in natural wood where the stripes split down the wales as they should, so i took it on, its a bit of a pain and only a few that see it will know the accomplishment...
whilst building the Victory i`m building bounty`s launch as a break along the way.... here`s a few photos

Had a break and starting to delve back into it !!! Started to tackle the ships wales ! found this very tricky on a natural finish ship. I’m using two types on wood to create the striped pattern, the difficulty lies in the fact that the stripes don’t follow the wales, so ended up splicing some of the anchor stock shaped wales together ( the ones that overlap the striped pattern), one photo shows one centre wale spliced and the other shows the same wale fitted .
