Jerry The ship is to you left!! -
Hello derek How's the masts coming on, I am working on the lower foremast at the minute. The bowsprit is finished but cannot be assembled at the moment. Hope all is well DAVID. By the way I have ordered some.

Hello Jerry Well there you go, starboard side completed and of and running on port. Shouldn't take you long now to get over this laborious task. My build has slowed up. All the hull work is completed, and I have started on the masts. The bowsprit is finished but not assembled, part prob. Not a happy chappy!. I am halfway through the fore mast. This is a nice place. Ok away you go get those tiles clagged on. Regards DAVID
-
Yep welcome back And the return of another caldercraft victory!! And a cracking build. I certainly look forward to the continuation of your build, as I am sure many others will. Regards DAVID

Hello John. I do not know what you mean by grenades in the lower deck. The best place to get info on your build is have a word with GRANT DALE. He is building the the same ship as you. Enjoy your build. DAVID

Hello Jerry Well there you go!! Nearly half way through it, and it's all looking good. Well done. Keep up the good work, and by the way make sure you have some tiles left over when you finish, you have the rudder to do later !!! Keep enjoying it...Yep I bought a few extra to play safe. DAVID

Derek Thanks a lot for your comments. I did not realize you were restarting your log, I thought it was a new build. As I said on your log , your build is excellent, crisp and clean and looks like you are creating something special . Regards DAVID

Lawrence I only used two of the profiles, as both myself and Derek s (ocean clipper) found it hard to tell the difference between number two and three, so I used only number one and two. That said, again will the profile look to big on your ship. The size is 3mm x 2mm. And then how much will you need ?. I really cannot hazard a guess, but two lengths will definately not be enough even with you ship being a smaller scale, so don't order them until you are sure you will be ordering enough. I thought you got a taffrail with the model kit. DAVID

Hello yon Just seen you chatting to Kevin about the stern davits, is this picture of any use. You may already have it, I don't know. I will delete if you want me to. DAVID
-
Derek Good that the the largest dowel fits your chuck. Mines ok too. I think there are only two more lengths of 12.7mm to do, and there's not a lot of work to do on them reduction wise. Enjoy your party today with the kiddys. DAVID

Welcome derek Well another caldercaft victory joins the community. Your build Is excellent, really crisp and clean. I look forward to following your log Throughout your build. Just enjoy your build. And post plenty of photos. It looks special. Regards DAVID

Greetings Jerry Looks like things are going pretty well, yep it's looking good. Its a tedious job and The ca fumes are a bit of a problem, so it's do a few then walk away for a while. My worsted problem is the less haste thing, I have just messed up on the gunport lids. I think it's the age thing as well. Keep enjoying your build. And have a cracking holiday. Regards DAVID

WELCOME !!!!! Yon And another VICTORY builder joins the community DAVID
-
Hello Jerry Hope all is ok, as I said I primed mine as did others to highlight any defects. I used as you say EVOSTIK and had no problem with it. You can see were Chris is coming from with a barrier between the ca and the wood. It all looking good. When you posted I was looking for some photos showing how the tiles start to narrow off under the water line as they start to reach the curve of the bows and stern you should be able to see this start to happen as you work your way along the waterline. . I also found it best to keep my runs of tiles wider above the ones below them if you follow. Keep enjoying it . Bed time here DAVID

Yon Have a look at the mamoli victory boat positions DAVID

Hello young man Well Derek it like the saga of the bendy is over. And you are only putting 15 buckets on!!!!!!!!? At least I managed 17. Well done Derek. Catch you later. DAVID
-
Yon I agree 100% with derek concerning the position of the ships boats, which blocks the view to the deck below, and it is an area of the build I will certainly be looking at . DAVID
-
Hello yon I wish my buckets were as good as yours, yours look pretty good to me. With a bit of luck I may be able to adjust the hooks to make mine presentable. Yep the barricade looks ugly, and I was hoping to find an alternative , or as you say not fit one. Your work as always is excellent , it's coming on fine. Regards DAVID
-
Hello muggebigge The reason I mentioned the ship on the cooker is in time your ship will become a lot heavier and cumbersome and be prone to damage, being moved about a lot. Regards David
-
Hello again Things are looking very good indeed. Your work is excellent. Keep posting your photos and enjoy fitting the wales. Why is your ship on the cooker????? regards. DAVID

SJORS Don't know about you joining derek at the rigging!!!!!!!! He has been practicing rigging in the garden. He tried to tell me it is a clothes line !!. The only thing he could hang on it is a white flag. I feel he may be doomed!!!!!!!!! DAVID

Thanks a lot DAVE Checked them out. Closed until 28th may. Found them at ShipWrightShop.com, who are jotika. Thanks again . DAVID

Greetings all Well once again thanks for all your replies. I have come to a standstill on my gunports as alas I am short of eyelets for the lower gunport lids. I only need 30, which Derek forwarded to me, but sadly royal snail failed to deliver, and they are also out of stock at CMB. Do any of you chaps know any other company who stock caldercraft spares, I have used one before but cannot remember who it was. CMB told me they would have them in stock next Thursday. So the much of a muchness photos show the starboard side only short of its lower gunport lids and canons, which will complete the hull work. To fill in time I thought I would have a shot at making the bowsprit and the boomkins . I used a david plane and sandpaper and found it pretty easy, but appreciate they are the simplest. After looking at this jiboom and flying broomstick stuff I realized this is we're I was going to need a lot of help from somewhere and also you chaps, Please!!! One thing that is going to be a great help is...The anatomy of Nelson's ships by C Neplean Longbridge which has approx 120 pages on the subject of rigging the Victory. The last photo shows one of the fold out drawings showing the rigging of one mast, and I think the detailing is excellent. Enough promotion, here's a few photos. Hopefully these will be the final photos of my hull. Here we go. Thanks for viewing . DAVID
