    I have finally wrapped up the building of my HMS Victory cross-section. Kind of bitter sweet really. The process was so enjoyable, always on my mind in a good way. Those moments away from the shop but still anticipating the next step or troubleshooting problems before going to sleep. This was my first build of many I hope. I am moving on to the NRG Half Hull planking kit next to acquire come skills to tackle Vanguard kit Adder some time in 2026. Made some rookie mistakes along the way but am quite pleased with how it came together! Hope everyone has a great New Year! Cheers, Russ

    Hi, I haven’t posted in a while as there was not much to show but here are a few pics showing the application of the copper foil tape.

    I completely agree but this is a benchmark for how good we can become!

    Sorry James, certainly not my intention to suggest you are using a compromised account. I was only looking for an explanation of why I am unable to donate.

    Thanks for the response Mike. I have been a victim of fraud previously with a fake PayPal account so it’s possible the card company have intervened. Definitely reluctant to use PayPal going forward.

    I have found the donation link at the bottom of the home page unfortunately my credit card keeps being rejected. I tried a few times but was not successful. Not sure how to proceed at this point. Any suggestions? Russ

    Hi, is the orange fund raising banner meant to provide a link for to make a donation? On my I phone it is not functioning. Russ

    I’ll jump onboard with Ross and say I appreciate an experienced builder taking time to share their techniques. Russ

    This has been a fascinating conversation about scale as it relates to paint. As a relative newcomer these are subtle details which would be overlooked by most novices I think. Very insightful! Russ
  13. Russ2025
    Really enjoying your added details. It all looks great to my eye, and it inspires me to follow your lead and add a few extras of my own. Looking forward to seeing the next deck. Russ

    I am familiar with the process of touching up the touchups of the touchups. The endless parade of cleaning brushes in my case. Your project is looking great ! Russ

    Cheers for that Ronald. It’s heartening to know that you are also working on improving your skills😊
  16. Russ2025
    To follow up on the amazing work seen here by Ronald I am curious about your painting technique. I have been spending time looking back through your posts and may have overlooked something but do you paint entirely by hand or do you use an airbrush or a combination of both. Curious because as a newcomer I have no airbrushing skills so brush painting it is. I guess my question is do you achieve these incredible results using a brush only. Apologies if this has been asked before. Russ

    I have set up a section on my reminders app on my phone to keep track of the many tips, tricks, and products that appear while looking through everyone’s builds.

    There is a run on wax pencils at Amazon now!

    What a great piece of advice. I hate the void! Do they leave much residue?
  20. Russ2025
    They have appeared. Cheers for that. I will follow along as I am considering the Adder some time in 2026.
  21. Russ2025
    I’m having the same problem. Maybe give it another go. Russ

    Managed to find some pictures online to confirm the positioning so I believe I am back on track. Russ

    Hi, you kindly provided a diagram of the main mast channels for me from the book- HMS Victory, her construction,career and restoration by Alan McGowan. Would you be able to provide a diagram of how the chain plate configuration looks. The plate positions on video 20 don’t look very elegant but may be correct Any help would be great. Hope your build is going well. Russ
