Love this build. -
The old Sergal kits are really problematic worse if it is missing parts.I would stay away from it.Cheers! John.

I would like to do the bow, waist and stern sections in 1/64 as a diorama.I am just in the planning stages now and builds like this are very helpful in my research. Cheers! John.

Looks like your doing a great job here.Cheers! John.

This is not an easy build.When I started my Sergal kit back in 1973 when I opened the box I knew that this was going to be challenge.No decent plans or instructions and what there was in Italish.With the help of Longridge, I made it through to the end with lots of blood, sweat, and tears.It was a real challenge as there was no internet then and not a lot of pics.Looking back though it was a great introduction to research and planning.I don't think that many Victorys got finished in those days.Cheers! John.

Hi !William.I find that on any long build I start off with great enthusiasm then have a dry spell around 2/3rds in then when I see the finish line the enthusiasm slowly returns.Hang in there.Cheers! John.

Really coming along nicely.Cheers! John.

Was this one ever completed ?

Hi! Mark.The patina is just wonderful.The idea that it was a study model makes it all the more interesting to me.It has a storyline all of its own and dioramas are all about the story.It is wonderful as well that you have taken the time to research this piece of history.I will be following your project with enthusiasm. Cheers! John.

I love this model as it has so much character.It is unique in that it has been weathered and it raises the question, is it in drydock to have the planking changed?This is what a diorama is all about Did the artist do this or did time do this or did the model turn itself into a diorama.Love it either way.
-
I am just tuning in now.Love those clippers.Great build. Cheers! John.
-
Nice build ! a lot of creativity here.
-
I agree too,not my taste either.

It's called anchor stock planking which increases the strength of the wales.I didn't put them on my 1:72 Victory but I wish now that I had as mine is unpainted and they would show.Back in 1973, I thought that it would take too much time,little did I know then that the build would take up about 6,000 of shop time alone plus research.(no internet)Cheers! John.
