Hello Paul
Well there you go Paul. I have to agree with Heinz and Robert. Take your time, we are all enjoying it. DAVID

Thanks David; Gil is a great source of inspiration, and so are others.
I finalized painting the hull, bulwarks and Captain's Cabin. I repainted the gun ports and the gun barrels.

Thanks Elijah and Robert.
Considering the fact that you have already painted the hull, you are not much, if at all, behind me, Robert.
In the meantime I continued working on the planking of the hull and the bulwarks. Finally the planking of the hull is complete, including the forecastle and quarterdeck capping rails and the waist capping. Only the Poop is left to plank.
I fitted the forecastle snatch block as well. A brass sheave will be fitted later.
The white lining between the deck and the bulwark is the waterway and will be painted yellow ochre.
Then the quarterdeck screen assembly: Is was somewhat difficult to choose the right colour: in some (older) pictures the screen is dark brown, on more recent pictures (such as mine) the screen is Victory-yellow. I decided to paint the screen dark brown. You may notice the hinges on top of the alongship screen panel. These panels were lifted to make place for cannons during sea battle.
Some pictures:
Now the big painting job can start. The outside yellow-on-black bands (my second planking is not good enough to allow for natural wooden planking). First I will paint the hull yellow, than I will indicate where the black bands should come. Finally I will paint the bulwarks yellow. Hopefully you will see pictures of a completely different HMS Victory .

good evening everyone,
Decided to go for a Grey primer for the deck, and a red orca for the bulkheads, this is all on top of a paper primer that I used Modge Podge

Good evening everyone, LOL it is me the one who used to post everyday, until we got a dog, now what used to be spare time is shared time, but would not have it any other way
on the SD14 having completed the tank top, the three Bulkheads for the deep cargo space then went in, these are now being firmed up as the big cross section frames go in, enjoying the build, but want to go back to the Victory soon
non of the top box girders are fixed yet hence looking a little squiffy

Good evening everyone
well the transverse frames have all been put in (no glue yet) next will be the Longitudinal's which should allow me to ensure we have a few straight lines, but considering it is going together quite well
the book gives an insight to how the ship was deigned and built with details of every hull built, bit of a bargain of EBAY

Kevin,
The colour would be very much 'take your pick', but here are two photos looking down the hatches of two different ships in the late 60's for reference. Some (but certainly not all) cargo ships of the period had permanent wooden ceiling on the tank tops.

Anyone happen to know what colour the decks, and bulkheads of 1960 cargo holds would be
I would possible ques at red oxide for everything or white bulkheads and green decks

Catching up after being away for a while, Kevin. It's good to see the shipyard in full swing.

Good grief that beast is huge... If you'd made it from metal it probably could haul cargo overseas. Or maybe use it as a rowboat? Seriously nice and complex work, Kevin.
