Hi Bikermart. Before you go too far with the second planking check other Victory posts around the keel where the beading line is. I'm sure the first planking should go to the stern rubber post and to the keel. Not sure if it makes sense, Check out you tube Paul Vickers Victory.

Thanks Popeye, good to be back. Start of the first planking.
-
Dry fit of gun ports, glue on once dry.
-
Top gun port. Red pins to get the curvature of the bulkheads.
-
Great build. I am just starting mine, thanks to all for your help the tips are invaluable, Ron.
-
Looking good Bob, when you get to deck fittings use the plans for measurements not the colour booklet. I got some Caldercraft rigging to replace the hairy Occre stuff.
-
Fantastic work Robert, I've just started mine. Ron.
-
Trimmed bulkhead 1 hole before gluing to test bowsprit fitting. Thanks to others for the idea, before it was too late.

Next project, Started 6th July 2022.

Wow, Congrats James on a fantastic job. I hope to do this later when released. So far i've done a couple of fishing boats, the Supply and Endeavour. I'll fill in until then with the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, Tamiya.
-
Nice work Popeye as usual,fishing boats are still my favourite.

Thanks a lot for all of your compliments.Out of the three versions for sails I think I like furled the most.
-
Thanks very much Gentlemen,it means a lot to get great compliments.Dave we will be in the new house in September.Another case is on the cards for my Supply as well.The cover is 4.5mm Perspex made by Bnt plastics in Chch and the wooden base made by a guy at work out of rimu.I'll be keeping an eye on all of your builds with interest.Ron.
-
The case all done,turned out real good.Occre very kindly sent me my missing sail so it's all ready to display in the rebuilt house when we move back in.

Thanks Popeye,just getting the case sorted now.The house is going well,onto the cladding next week.
-
Very nice great job.
-
Thanks a lot for your comments men.the 0.25 and 0.5mm thread is caldercraft from cornwall model boats,those sizes in Occre thread were rubbish.I'm getting a guy in Christchurch here to make up an acrylic case top 4.5mm looks a bit stronger than 3mm.One of my work mates is making a base for it so should turn out well.After we move back to our rebuilt house after the eartquakes in September I've got a plastic huey to do then maybe a Chinese junk,i like them after visiting China.We'll see.
-
Thanks very much for all of your great comments,i can just sit here and look at it now.If anyone else does this kit follow the measurements on the plan not the ones in the colour instruction book.Now for a rest and follow all of your builds.Thanks for looking in and for your help.Ron.
