HMS Victory by Yon - Caldercraft 1:72
Kevin replied to Yon's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800
i continued last night to get the bow decoration right, - lol unsucsessfully, was hoping to work backwacks towards finishing the decorative strips that run from the steps, also nearly ready to fix the fore mast chain plates -
well i have had my two minutes of fame, so i will spend the next 6 months waiting to see if i can get another one right, and then give it away

no its not, it is fact HMS SCEPTE off RFA Dilligence GOA India lol - perhaps that's why very few post submarines

a poorly coppered hull looks worse than a poorly planked hull, must be the scale thing, and not being able to touch up with a bit of filler.But like all my modeling skills practise makes perfect (well a little bit better in my case), i like to see a coppered hull

i am continuing doing the stbd side, the cat head is finished and fixed/pinned, and i managed to successfully make the strip underneath it, cutting the wale was my biggest heartache, as i found it hard to mark everything and get the angle right, but like everything else, it will get done, all a learning curve i used the brass profile, and bent with molegrips and a vice, then used fine wet and dry to rub out any marks, and yes it is fairly acute angle

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1589-latest-full-profile-photograph-of-your-build/ have a look in here, that's one of the reasons,why i started it
-
i reduced the thickness of the side rails of my ladder to fit within the coaming, as i remember i had a similar problem
-
Not much to show for the few hours i have put in on the build this weekend, the bow timbers that fit into the head timbers are giving me a nightmare, with the decorative strip that flares in from under the cat-head, The rail that comes from under the cathead cuts unto the upper wale and stops where the the upper head timber strip comes into contact with the hull
