I have recently started to build Caldercraft's HMS Agamemnon and have noticed the shape of the top of the lower gundeck,
particularly as I am in the process of adapting this deck and the to enable it to be fitted out with cannon on carriages, chain pumps,
hatches, capstans,& gratings etc. I suspect that this shape may be linked to the "sheer" of the hulls of ships of this type/period.
Best wishes and enjoy your build.

I have tried a number of matt varnishes over the years and have found the best to be Humbrol Matt Cote. This dries very clear with no yellowing.
I hope this helps.

I am a very new member of Model Ship World but have been following with great interest your development of the Victory in 1/64 scale. This is certainly the most superb kit I have seen. Whilst I completed a 1/78 scale Victory at around the time of the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar I will certainly be buying this 1/64 scale version and start all over again!. Currently I am building HMS Diana with the standing rigging underway with my next project being HMS Agamemnon. Snake and Cruiser are also sitting under my work bench All of course in 1/64 scale. It will be great to have a 1/64 Victory to join them and who knows one day a 1/64 74. I would also be prepared to pay more for better blocks than those usually provided in kits.

Without doubt this is going to be the best model of the Victory that has ever been available. Being particularly interested in the
Victory siince the late 1950's I have built models of the ship from the first version produced by Airfix (very small that came in a
plastic bag) followed by at least two of their larger version and several from Revell. The last Victory I built was the 1/78 Panart
version which was unfortunately damaged in a house move 4 years ago. Therefore I have started saving up for this long awaited
beauty from Amati/Victory Models. I am currently working on a "super detailed version" of the Jotika 1/64 scale HMS Agamemnon
which will include a fully fitted out lower gun deck with fully rigged gun carriges etc and the 1/64 Victory will fit in well with this
and HMS Diana which I finished building just before my house move and fortunately survived undamaged.
