Well, I know, it's not as it was in the earlier, lost version - then I did spend much time for writing which also meant to look after the English terms of all those parts on the vessel. I cannot do this once again, else I would need months for rebuilding the log - so I just add some of the many pictures I uploded so far. So some more pictures of the past months... Cheers, Rosmarie

The decks The following pictures show the belfry, barricade, gratings, and other "small" but important details of the decks. Cheers, Rosmarie

The armament All cannons on the upper gun deck are fully rigged - took me quite some time but was worth the trouble. I decided add all tackles and eyepins before the guns were fixed on the deck. It was easier to handle the guns but not easier to glue them on deck. Cheers, Rosmarie

Hello everybody Well, it’s too sad that all earlier postings are lost! Now, let’s start again with filling this wonderful forum. I started my Victory in autumn 2011, was very busy until spring when I had to busy myself with other tasks (paper modelling). In last autumn I restarted with wood modelling while still being busy with card too. First I will show you the coppering. I decided to use copper tape instead of the delivered plates. This was mainly because I don’t want to work with CA (which ends in strong problems with my broncheas). I also decided to do the coppering according to the original, meaning to have 12 copperbands on top and the rest of them leading to them from the bottom. In addition the copper plates should overlap as usually in the Royal Navy, the upper band goes under the lower one and not the other way round as in merchand ships. So I had to start along the waterline and moving downwards. First I draw the lines with pencil and then I cut the foil into plates and then sticking them to the hull. So much for the moment. Cheers, Rosmarie
