My Victory will be back on the workbench by this weekend, intentions are to get her to a masting stage by the end of the year, (well its a plan anyway) My list of things to do in the next few weeks, lol about 100 on it -which will take me to masting 1) finish port side gun-port lanyards and then repeat everything starboard 2) stern and bow decoration 3) rudder 4) rework all davits and lower mast booms 5) stern Gun ports (missed) 6) find a way to re-position all top side cannons so they are not taking up deck space yep the BUZZ is back

I am 958 hours into my build, the original cost has doubled due to books paints rope walks and line servers, considering i am possibly 1/3 into the build this so far works out to £1.46 per hour - $2.5 about the price of a pint of milk and a loaf of bread, - the caldercraft always to me seamed the best option with the kits that are on the market, she will be finished and the cost will be virtually next to nothing per hour

lovely work on the copper tiles, i am glad i never applied any sealing to mine, after two years they are ageing nicely
-
problem is that i look at Gils build and just sigh, just wishing mine could be just 1/2 as good as his build http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-jotika-172/?hl=%2Bgil+%2Bmiddleton

Welcome to MSW and another Victory build log, plenty of help around here enjoy the build
-
good evening everyone some of you might have realised i have been doing some posting again within MSW, as i bring myself back into the fold after a period away, i never got bored with the Victory, just annoyed that my standard of craftsmanship is below par, as found my self constantly pulling it apart to try and do better, take the gunport lanyards, i dont know how many times i have attempted them but only now are they getting to the standard to which i like them anyway she is re -homed now as i improved my workshop to allow work to continue on her later this year. it is nice to be back

i eventually put the bow gun-ports into place and glad i did so, it takes a while to set up the correct position though, - you build looks great
-

-
just caught up on you log - wow what a lot you have done since April when I last looked, it making me think that I ought to go and look to see how mine is- up the good work
-
if they are activated by floating out and the cable activates the arming device -how are the mines kept safe when removing ones not used - I presume there is a device that can enable them to be retrieved from the bins
-

-
