Good evening everyone some of you know i was building a cold war destroyer HMS Fife in 1/72 scale, but i was approached and ask if i would be interested in parting with her, which after a couple of months i sold her on, with the funds from that i have put them towards my next build before i do that i must complete or show willing to the wife that i will complete HMS Victory, which has been on and off the work bench for 7 years now so i have started this thread to use as a testing ground for ideas and research the new build is 1/32 scale - 66 inches long, made by a UK company Mountfllet models BUT there is more (more i hear you say) yes i will be opening up one side and displaying here as a static cutaway here is my first picture of the kit, which will be ordered after the Warwick show which i believe to be early next month http://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/st-nectan.html

Good afternoon everyone two spars are now finished, but as they all connect to one another, i am unable to get them in place until all 11 are completed, took her outside for some vitamin S and blow more dust off

LOL, Im so tempted to reveal the new build i am having, BUT it is a Christmas pressie, and months away, im sure the Fife will be seen again
-
im not sure if that will happen, however lol we are on good terms so if i see any thing to report i will pass any updates on, i have no plans to delete this log, but will remove from my signature to allow room for the new build
-
today marks the end of this build, as she was sold on to someone who hopefully can make a better job than myself, thank you to everyone who has followed this build, However i have plans for something else, and lol about the same size
-
She is looking very good

Good evening everyone i had intended to achieve more by this time (its not a race) but happy as all the yards are in place, the Mizzen ones are finished just awaiting the fittings if rigging bits, the main and fore are in different stages of completion

Thank you Steve, for your detailed answer, i am looking for another build on completion of the Victory, and would like to got for a merchant vessel of some kind, without the need to build a hull, I had been hoping to get a decent scale paddle steamer hull, but very few manufacturers make them, I must admit i like the lines of your currant build, and will continue to watch progress until i make my mind up
