    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.
  2. kiwiron
    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.

    A bit more planking, clean up gun ports later on.

    Fantastic job, very nice workmanship

    Start of second planking, looking forward to it.
  12. kiwiron
    Trying a couple of deck planking ideas.
  13. kiwiron
    For sure, It was only looking at other builds to know how it should look. 1mm out with the inner stern makes a difference.

    Galleries done, not my finest work, but I've never said I was any good.
  15. kiwiron
    Galleries started.
  16. kiwiron
    First sanding done. Filler to sand tomorrow. Shape not to bad so far.
  17. kiwiron
    Filled in now for the sanding.

    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.
  23. kiwiron
    Thanks Popeye, good to be back. Start of the first planking.
  24. kiwiron
    Dry fit of gun ports, glue on once dry.
  25. kiwiron
    Top gun port. Red pins to get the curvature of the bulkheads.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
