Great job, once annealed I found it easy to shape the brass. -
Sounds good, I found the same with my Endeavour. So many variations and repairs made changed things depending on what materials the crew could find at the time.
-
Thanks a lot Graham, your encouragement keeps me going when it gets hard. I liked your idea of the green around the flowers.
-
A couple of touch ups to go then the cat heads.
-
Mock up of the Boomkins knightheads and hand rail. Putting away in a safe place, hopefully to be found again. Figurehead next hope I don't get cross eyed.
-
Thanks Allan, The gratings fit together as a square block then cut down to size. A little bit more progress.
-
Beautiful work as usual.
-
Bow next, looks like a big project.
-
Thanks Graham.
-
A little bit of progress after a break. Poop deck ladder etc, fire buckets, beakhead bulkhead. Carronades next.
-
Wow they look great, you must be very proud of your Victory. I would just get a chair and a coffee and look at it for ages.

Thanks Graham, nothing like your masterpiece but it's o.k. from a distance.

Poop deck, bit of a disaster for the skylight. It's a good day when you find a missing part.
-
I got 8 on two separate sheets. Bit weird, did they put the odd one on another 4mm sheet ?

Thanks Robert, lots of parts seem to be brittle, Ron.
-
Thanks Alistair, I'm trying. The boat kits come with it, the planking is 0.5 thick so bends easily. Everything I touch at the moment breaks so lots of glue.
-
Start of boats, I can do them in breaks at work. Cat tails started, going better once I realized the bend on the parts 131 and 64 are supposed to match the camber on the deck.
-
Beautiful work as always. I seem to be breaking everything I touch lately. I would be lost on my Victory without your photo's thanks a lot, Ron.
-
Cannons etc, onto cat tails next. Sit back and take it in now. Varnish jobs to do as well.
-
Start of cannon rigging.
-
Thanks, I found a couple of small gun ports still covered with planking, oops. Onto the waist ladders now. Thanks to Graham and Robert I now have stantions and black thread on the waist ladder and a thread to save the main companionway from disappearing into the hull.
-
Cannon prep for quarter deck, belfry etc.
-
A few more projects done. The forecastle breast beam supports were a disaster. They disintegrated on removal from the template but I found some reasonable replacements.
