Fiurar, I am glad to hear that you are back into your ship. HMS Victory by Corel is quite a ship to build. But this ship is a great flag ship to display at home. And it is not a cheap model to buy today. Seen prices starting at 700 dollars.

Bit of a problem! HMS Speedy, Vanguard Models
Nirvana replied to JohnEvans's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I would use the model and create a battle diorama; the damage is there already.....🙃 -
She is a big ship, 1:200 is an impressive scale and will definitely show details. The PE details will also be easier to handle. Is she about 1300mm long?

The deck looks really nice, but if you pull your finger along the planks you will find how rough they are, this as the fibergrains has risen. Now use aluminium wool as a sander and your deck will be smooth and getting a shine.

John, I don't know for how long they have had this misprint, all the Bluenose build logs has had the same box cover and why it says solid hull is a mystery. Your Bluenose is looking very nice, mine is at a standstill. The coldness in the garage doesn't help either.

Paul, I know that the 1/350 scale version has a latitudinal dividing. Thought Trumpeter would had the with the 1/200 scale....... Okay, I will come out from the grey zone, I recently got the 1/350 scale version. That along with trumpeter small PE set, along with wood deck set and Flyhawk PE set. Your build even though a different scale will help me.

Very nice Paul! Was the hull one full unit or did it come in parts? Looking forward seeing the progress.

Eric, when I read the log name starting with Sultan lead me directly to the band Dire Straits and their song Sultans of Swing, Just like the song your start of your Sultan looks good. Does it have double planking?

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
