Port side main plates done, keel next.
-
Half way through the other side. Then fill in the gaps.
-
Thanks for the likes. I'll do this half of the keel, rudder then the other side then see how much I've got left for the gaps. Not bad so far, you will get gaps between plates as the angles change and offset of 50 percent changes. Some stick together or bond instantly. not the first time I have gone to work with a plate stuck to my shirt.

The journey has begun, had to re align part way along.

Thanks for the info, I also found doing my Endeavour a lot of things were not accurate or just someone's best guess of how things looked. I think with kit parts they do what they can to get close to reality. With the current plates over lapping they would stick up a lot, like you say they should be really very thin. The kit calls for 4 gun port linings. If someone else hasn't got that far they could be left out. Any comments welcome thanks.

Thanks, nowhere near your standard but happy with it so far. A start on the copper now, trying to butt the copper plates as close as I can together.
-
Cannon trial fit.
-
Painting done for now. Trial cannons.
-
Thanks a lot to Graham and others doing the Victory. I would be lost without you. The waterline was easy following Grahams idea.
-
Thanks, small mistakes from early on showing up now but can be fixed. I didn't find the gun ports linings to bad, just gentle with the 16mm walnut. Only a few linings lost into the hull out of 288. Hope I can do a decent waterline mark out. Ron.

Nice job, I am about at the same stage.
-
Incredible workmanship, stunning to see. Thank you.
-
Starboard gun ports done, now to carry on the production line port side.
-
Wales done now after a break, onto the gun port linings. Rudely interrupted by going to work.
-
First side of lower wale done.
-
Very nice work, I liked my Occre Endeavour but found the dimensions in the Occre booklet did'nt match the plans. So lesson learned go by the plan sheets for dimensions.
-
Thanks lol, I'm trying but a lot of other Victory builds on here are amazing. I get a difficult piece and think it's a mess but by the time I use filler and later on paint it should'nt be too bad. I do enjoy most of it.
-
Good one, thanks a lot. I managed to find some 1.5 x 2mm, all good now at the hobby shop. Must have a look at your builds to check my wale line for the top position of the bottom Wale.

Replacement castings from kit supplier. Hobbies.co.uk have been great getting these for me. Looking at using some 1.5 x 1.5 walnut supplied in kit for waterways but worried about running short later on. Has anyone finished theirs and had spare left over? Thanks Ron.
-
Wales next, paint later on after finding something for the waterways.
-
Gun ports linings on,dry fit camber beams. Next clean up gun ports, sanding, painting.
-
Inner gun ports linings next.
