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.
-
4 butt shift planned out. Trial of quarter deck.
-
Small update.
-
The cast piece broken off wasn't in the plastic bag or I could of just glued it.
-
Yup, just the cast piece I really need.
-
Thanks for the advice. Need to file my ports a bit more yet. The wooden part sheet is being sent. I was waiting for the Amati kit but no idea when that will be available.
-
Found more broken parts. Quality control is poor. No answer to emails to Jotika but supplier of kit has been very good.
-
Inner port linings trimmed at the bottom. Onto the upper deck once I get my tennis elbow surgery done.
-
Major sanding today, Happy with the hull shape now. Thanks Graham, I spend lots of time looking at your great build log.
-
Closing in a bit. Cut planks until waterline then whole lengths as I will copper the hull.
-
Must have a look sounds good.
-
Thanks Bill, I spend a lot of time looking at Graham's and Roberts etc builds to see what to do. I hope with sanding, filler and thick paint to end up with something reasonable. Ron.
