After 30+ years in the Royal navy,I retired 3 years ago. Being around warships and submarines,all that time, it is surprising just how quickly you forget about the small details required to make a vessel operate, it is not until you see the plans of yr build, seeing all the inlets, outlets deck fittings etc, the things that take a average model into something special, i will follow with intrest, good luck -
i quess planking the upper deck in two halves, is always possibly going to result in that problem, it only shows at the very front, and i doubt if any of that will be seen, well done
-
can we have a different story please - pretty please
-
the last time i saw this problem on msw 1.0 the hole was then cut and the build proceeded, only to find out the bulkheads had been placed in the incorrect order, please double check - if im wrong - i appologise - not trying to panic you

the more logs the better, there is always something from every build that can be used as an idea for someone else

my garage conversion continues, raised floor ceiling and walls are finished, the barrier between me and the wabbits is 90% done, at present i am working out work top area and storage, still on track for a Easter restart. i fully appreciate this is a hobby site for boats and not loft/ garage conversions, if anyone is concerned with this, please tell me and i will stop posting non Victory related stuff

the model is a piece of history, and should be reflected as it was, without changes

Thank-you Gil

1st time i have seen the boats since last July when they went into storage, good to see them again, i don't see the point of restarting the build log of the Amerigo Vespucci, as at present - i am unable to find the time to proceed with her

i did the same with the gun port linings, very hard to make all those exact cuts, some have done ti successfully though, both ways have pros and cons, im happy with my putting the linings on completion of 2nd planking
-
Thank-you for taking yr time and reposting the build, it is very much appreciated by me and many others
-
Thank- you Danny it is very much appreciated what you are doing
-
Post loft conversion and with the extra room, the opportunity has come to move into the garage, up sizing from the 10x8 shed, which does not have the height room to complete the Victory, so i am at present lagging it to make it a habitable environment

its nice to see all the builds coming back online, thank you, im sure between us we can fill the gaps, to help others, i do however have phots from all parts of my build - lots of them, it is the silly chit chat i am missing in my build log, already i have had requests to see pictures of my wabbits - they will be returning to a forum soon - maybe tonight
