Sjors got a reaction from PeterB010 in HMS Victory by Sjors - Caldercraft - 1:72
Hello all,
And yes, another Victory build!
Welcome all.
My apologies to Amati, but I couldn't wait any longer for their Victory. So I ordered the Caldercraft / Jotika instead as a present to myself on the occasion on my upcoming 40th work anniversary in August.
And boy, she is big and heavy. A box filled with 15 kilo's (33 lb) of all kinds of goodies.

Hey my old friend - what a pleasure to see you back posting again! It’s been far too long.
I have to agree with what others have said about Chris Watton’s offerings. He really seems to have filled a hole in the market and is delivering what he promises without too much of a delay, despite being a one-man operation. Sphinx does look to be a beauty and it looks like it should be ready by the time you’ve finished Beagle. The added bonus for you is that he’s in the UK, so you won’t have to contend with horrendous shipping fees.
I look forward to following your logs again and enjoying your company here. Welcome Home!

Mike_H,
First the copper plating of the rudder.
The first picture you see the under layer of te tape and above it the layer with the paper still on it.
The second picture you see the copper plates.
Easy to work with.
Then the lathe.
You see the extension bed and the total length of the lathe with the extension bed.
I mond the bed is difficult to get but mine was bought in the UK.
Don't ask me where because it was a gift from Mobbsie.(also a member of MSW)
More questions then just ask.

Sjors reacted to marktiedens in HMS Vanguard by marktiedens - Model Shipways - scale 1:72
Hi all - moving along at a snail`s pace, the upper gunport lids were glued in place & the ropes added. Then, I thought it would be a good time to fit the channels. After double checking the plans, I discovered that I glued the moulding above the upper gun deck ports too low & there wasn`t room to mount them below the moulding as the plans showed . So, after assembling one chainplate,I saw I could mount the channels above the moulding & still be ok. the channels are not glued on yet & I haven`t got to the starboard side yet. I still have to blacken the channel brackets & some other brass parts before I glue the channels on. Still trying to figure out how I got that moulding so far off.
