  1. Is it the porthole I have to pass through to the scratch build world
  2. LOL - come next Monday, everything will be back to normal, I will have used up all my wood, by converting it to sawdust, all my blades will be blunt or broken, and I will throw the whole idea of doing scratch out of the window, and I will have a brynes sander on the way that will never be used seriously though - I am looking forward to it, a break from the Victory wont hurt me
  3. thankyou everyone for the comments, very much appreciated the victory build is going on hold for a little while, several reasons why, but the main one is that, I like to think ahead, in this case the HMS Druid build, to that end I am going to try a little project to see if I have the skill to take on that challenge so for a while my posts will be on the Section Triton build
  4. good morning Gil lovely work is the wood pad fitted to the hull or to the anchor where the fluke butts up against the hull
  5. i contacted Jim Brynes tonight wrt to the i await his reply for the shipping costs to the UK i have also included the drawplate
  6. well i made a start, a few days away from making sawdust though 1x cherry planking 2x pear framing 1x sycamore-don't know what for (forgotten) 1x maple decking also bought a chuck for my lathe, was fed up not being able to centre the lumber and a couple of proxxon blades for the fet i may purchase the brynes sander for crimbo
  7. lovely work, 36 sails to make for mine, if you have the time -lol
  8. lol - accident or deliberate, I am NOT copying this
  9. good afternoon photo of the hull steps ladder, maybe they would have looked better in hemp and possibly fitted to the steps rather than the side, but for know that's where they are
  10. the reason i bought it was because at the time i was doing to do the Triton build, but then as now doubted my abilities to do such a project, hence the 1/72 Victory came into my life so i never used it
  11. I bought this about 3 years ago, and have only just operated it for the first time, is it adequate to do a semi scratch build, or do i rearly need a brynes saw
  12. between dafi Grant and Gil, i will never finish mine either
  13. Hello Dafi hope you dont mind I borrowed a photo and posted it in my log of the rope ladders from page 54, i will remove if you mind
  14. After the excitement recently of my announced next build, its back to the Victory, although no pictures tonight, Dafi is to blame for having to go back to the the hull side steps to put the Ropes in Daffi build http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/page-54
  15. sorry for your loss and glad for the good things that have happened, nice to see you back in the man cave
  16. now where have you hidden the hull step rope photos
  17. Hi Derek, great to see you back posting, did you have a good summer season? your build looks fantastic
  18. just re read your build- lovely work, do you have some more pictures of the stern area, from your photo, the stern gun ports look at a very acute angle, no criticism is intended - again lovely work
