of course i could leave them without any glaze, but it is imposable to put any acetate in place now -
Grant no doubt i will let you and the rest of the world know, as for the stuff its self, it acts just like a thick PVA glue

Good evening everyone back to the main deck and doing some of the fittings, i had to learn what a kevel is today, i could not find my kit belaying pins, so used some from the spares box, bit to clean, will tone down i tried successfully using Micro Kristal Klear on the sky light, intentions are to use it on the stern gallery as well, as i forgot to put any acetate in, also lining up the stern hull decoration port side aft

lol wait until you have to do the gunport lids and lanyards, drove me bonkers, not only that i also spent hours and hours on the linings and repeated them twice before having the lids in the shut position, so you don't see them
-
I appreciate that you are trying this rail in one piece, but would it not be in more than one, I love this build
-
Lovely work Jerry, itching for the weekend to arrive so i can proceed on mine
-
do you wish you had continued upwards and gone for the full rigged build

Nice fix on the rail

The construction of HMS Victory begins JUL 23rd, 1759 - Richard Cavendish recounts the birth of a great warship The keel of the most famous ship in the history of the Royal Navy was laid down in the Old Single Dock (now the Victory Dock) at Chatham Dockyard in Kent. Present with Admiralty officials at the occasion was William Pitt the Elder, whose government had announced a major ship-building programme of first-rate ships of the line and frigates the year before. The new first-rate was designed by the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir Thomas Slade. Her keel was to be 259 ft long, she would have a displacement of 2,162 tons, carry a crew of about 850 and be armed with more than 100 guns. Some 6,000 trees would be used to build her, the great bulk of which were oaks, mainly from Kent, the New Forest and Germany. She was the Navy’s sixth Victory. One of them, under Sir John Hawkins, had fought the Spanish Armada in 1588. Another, of 80 guns, had been launched in 1666 and the fifth, launched in 1737, had sunk with all hands in 1744.

Piet Just caught up again, lovely work, and a fantastic build in memory of the crew of 019 and all the other submariners who gave there lives in the deep
-
sorry I missed the start of you build, lovely work, lol I wish I could go back to that stage on my build, I will continue watching your work
-
mark in real life would these gun-ports be lined and rebated now or later to accept the lids or left rough for the rest of her career
-
thankou
-
ummm - i do like getting her out for some vitamin S (sunshine) im unable to get consistent indoor shots of her
-
like it has done for the last 5 years, just a break to let me get on with the build, no doubt it will be back come winter, thank you for the comment

Goos afternoon, torn between lots of things today, F1 Race test match and Victory, so i have delayed watching the Race so that i can listen to the Cricket, Brilliant game anyway - LOL subject to change the Gun-ports are finished, that for me is a big milestone, i have a couple of lanyards still to put away but the quarterdeck decoration still needs to be finished so these might be the last few outside photo to be taken as she is going to be a handful to move outside as i start soon on the deck decoration, thank you all for likes and comments which have kept me going
