  1. WOW, on my wish list, shame i will never have the skill-sets to do it justice
  2. LOL - how dare you simulate wood, - by using real wood, what is the hobby coming to
  3. Lol i have just left a comment on the flory site wrt your sherbourne build, love your aircraft, and very nice photo's
  4. been following your log, as my first trip into the dark side will be the Cutty Sark
  5. Good afternoon Ferit as mentioned they are stunsail booms, these are mine fitted to the Victory
  6. Just caught with your build, its amazing how many logs i follow depending on what subject i am doing at the time, im looking forward to going to the dark side soon
  7. still needs a few more margins and then sanding, simulated treenails and weathering, lol then perhaps find it dont fit and i will have to do it all again
  8. Good afternoon everyone Foredeck now needs attention, so i have again used 6mm x 1mm x 300 Lime strips, i ordered 100 of it knowing i would use about 50% of it on the deck alone perhaps went to far wrt the nibbling lol (never heard of the word before this build) but now finding it difficult to get the margins fitted, and then the bow will be closed in with the waleback the 5 squares will be the the fish hatches, they are covered over and was no need to cut them out, but in my cutaway idea i left the option open, should i display what they look like within the hull
  9. I used a grey wash _ made by FLory , lots of ways to do it - im not trying to spoil your log in any way, just suggesting ideas, lots of victory logs to look out for ideas
  10. Its not just the wood that needs to be thought about on a aged vessel, the paintwork needs to be toned down, sails(if fitted) need to be aged, rigging needs weathering
  11. Hope the air quality improves for you soon, missing your updates already
  12. its is all a matter of how you want to see her when completed, aged decks look great providing everything else is IMHO Personally i like the worn look as it hides my bad workmanship, i have my Victory link in my signature link
  13. After a Flory wash and pencil tree-nailing
  14. did any more progress get made with this build
  15. Maybe the amarti by chris watton will come out one day
  16. Good start to your build, i have recently finished the victory, but the caldercraft version, as you can see there are plenty around to offer advice if reqired
  17. Good evening everyone work continues as a when i have the opportunity, which is a lot more recently due to changes i have made with my free time, the superstructure has now got the wheel house fitted, i used two part epoxy for that, to ensure i had time to line it up bracing has been added under the boat deck, and more lighting, perhaps i am overdoing the leds but they dont all have to be on at the same time and they are adjustable brightness the cod liver house has been made ready, but at present i dont know how much of the step has to be removed as the rudder cables come from under there the colours are the admirals choice, being built for her, i even like the yellow, it will appear on a few things like the funnel gallows/otter boards still very much wip , the video explains it better than i could
  18. what a fantastic fleet, well done, i love the way you bring your creations to life
