Good evening everyone

In my last photo, you can see a step where the outer stern fascia sits quite away from the stern counter, been racking my brains how to flush all this off, I have managed to close the gap slightly using clamps map pins and a hammer secure it, but looks like i am going to have to make another stern counter to flush it all off like Gill has (on page 3 of his build log http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-jotika-172/page-3

i was so looking forward to a couple hours work, and lol achieved nothing, oh well always tomorrow

all the best

Here a question for anyone reading my log, 

As you maybe aware i started a thread about inviting members to post a profile of their builds, I continually keep mentioning this - is that trolling? and against MSW rules

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1589-latest-full-profile-photograph-of-your-build/

Hello Rosemarie

 Just checking you are ok, not seen any build progress recently.

all the best 

yr such a tease - lol, trying to make me feel good

Hi Kevin

 

We are almost neck and neck although I haven't yet attached the facia.  I can't decide on mine whether the white is too much or not.  From your photo above yours looks fine.  It isn't clear but it looks like Gil may have repainted his inner facia yellow....

 

Good luck with your deliberations !

 

Cheers

i am pressing ahead with it, i have had the admiral and four wabbits giving me their deliberations, the admiral, could not see what i was winging about, and the four wabbits- looked at it, stole my planking jig, left some droppings and went back into the garden

LOL as for neck and neck, yes maybe apart from i have done nothing on the port side of the hull, and no upper deck fittings at all,

once the stern fascia is on, i should think i will be on a bit of a roll, as all the port side is just a repeat of the stbd side

Stern Facia

i was quite impressed how easy this went, until i took the photo's, the white that i used on the inner panel is quite uh / well it shows to much, I Don't quite know how to resolve this, if at all, because if i remove the outer fascia  and any damage that incurs, i then have the window acetate to remove just to get to the inner sills. may have to sleep on that one.

The bottom of the panel overhangs by about 3mm so it looks like i will have to plank up to this, along the stern counter (i think it's called).

very nice, will make a display when finished

Kevin,

Thanks for your inteest but I never started a build log.  I just can't make up my mind..LOL

Jerry

Please start a log, all the questions you are asking, are repeated in most logs, it will save you either, asking the question in others ongoing builds, or having to PM someone, 

Having your own log, others will see what you are doing, give praise, and suggest ideas, to questions you have not thought off.

I appreciate the questions you have at present are the gun-port lining, but these will lead on the the completion of 2nd planking,, then the greatly loved by all  copper tiling.

There are plenty of members around to help, and LOL if in doubt check Gill's Victory out

oh well i was close - close in the respect that it was a big grey ship thing,

Never mind that  my submission was the wrong name, wrong country, and bore no resemblance to the photo posted

Hi Jerri i used CA glue on lining the gun ports,and i painted the linings before  installing them,having said that they will ned touching up as you progress.Ther going to be a delay on any posting of off me,as i have a very ill wife so mY victory is going to have to wait      DEREK

Derek

give her our best wishes, for a speedy recovery

looks a bit HMS Barham

Jerry it is nice to see you making progress in the build, lol - im unable to find your build log

hope everything is well at home Gil,give our best wishes for a speedy recovery to your wife

from these picture, it would appear that at last billings are improving their standards, the figure head looks good

such lovely work

also apart from the obvious sanding i also painted the inside of the stern pattern white to give a sense of depth

look at gils and put the windows in so the sill is seen from the stern,

i lightly sanded each window on the 4 sides, and  placed a dab of c/a in the corners they fit lovely

keep an eye on the front and back of the windows they are slightly different, 

also the middle level ( i think)  are different again  there seams to be a top and bottom where six panes of each window are different to the top three, i put the 3 planes towards the top, not that it is noticeable when painted that much

well done, my friend, yr about to do lots of bits that will change the overall appearance of the build

Augie,

 

I just downloaded and printed the photo of your yards. I'll be building a set before long, and your photo will be a better reference than all the plans in the box.

 

Rod

STENA FORWARDER until 2007 Feb

This day will be launched his majesties ship the Victory, estimated the largest and finest ship ever built. Several of the Lords of the Admiralty, Commissioners of the Navy, and many persons of quality and distinction, are expected to be present, for whose receptions great preparations are making through the Town"

London Public Advertiser 7th May 1765 

The order for the Victory to be built at Chatham was signed by the Navy Board on the 7th July 1759. Work started almost immediately and the first timbers, those for the keel were brought together at the Old Single Dock on the 23rd July 1759 in a ceremony that even have been attended by William Pitt the Elder - the then Prime Minister, and the future Earl of Chatham. 

Once  her frame was complete she was left to ‘season in frame’ - a process that would normally take six to twelve months - but in the case of Victory  lasted form many years - until the Seven Years War had ended - before work restarted on her. Launched on 7th May 1765 she was completed and fitted out - not for war but for the reserve fleet. 

It was not until 1778 that she left Chatham for sea service - as Augustus Keppel’s flagship. Following the Battle of Cape St Vincent (1797) she returned to Chatham where she underwent a Great Repair - before returning to sea as Nelson’s flagship and the battle of Trafalgar 

OH NO

another ugly one

very nice, well done

if this was a modern vessels, each of the panels would have a separate health and safety poster on it, like mind the mortar pit, beware of death - sort of thing

wonderful work, ill be interested to see how you would approach the sail cloth, and make it look distressed
