dafi Posted June 18, 2015 #1 Posted June 18, 2015 ...hihihihihihihihi... As the lower deck of my other Victory will definitely still will take some time - in the Year 2525 - here a small in between meal. The usual start-up picture - everything as it is known to be 🙂 Where will this lead to?

amateur Posted June 18, 2015 #2 Posted June 18, 2015 Undoubtedly to something beautifull, and to som emore destruction along the route. Perhaps a Vic in the situation of 1890, or one in the situation of 2025? Jan dafi 1 Quote
dafi Posted June 18, 2015 Author #3 Posted June 18, 2015 Thank you Jan, the 2525 is the one I am already building ;-) But yes, for a long time already, she was turning around in my head - the empire Vic of 1910. Matchless in her appearance, she started to fascinate me as soon as I saw the first picture of this state some 30 years ago. By now I collected enough good pictures to have a good understanding of her hull and stern. Also the aft assemblies I get a clearer idea, even Nelson´s barque is already parked underneath the poop deck. Still looking for some high resolution pictures of the bow and the fo´castle, also those of contemporary ships, as this is a very outrageous design there ;-) So it is like in the sales: Everything has to go!

Beef Wellington Posted June 18, 2015 #4 Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Daniel, are you changing the shape/size of the bow? Fascinated to see your model of this develop. Looking at photos I always have mental image that the 1900s version is the 'real' version but after eating too many cookies Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!" In the shipyard: HMS Jason (c.1794: Artois Class 38 gun frigate) Queen Anne Royal Barge (c.1700) Finished: HMS Snake (c.1797: Cruizer Class, ship rigged sloop)
Lukasvdb Posted June 18, 2015 #5 Posted June 18, 2015 Tis will be another fascinating build! I am following this for sure Best of luck Dafi! grtz. Quote
amateur Posted June 18, 2015 #6 Posted June 18, 2015 You're not just doing the outside, arent't you? We would like to see the interior as well Jan Quote

dafi Posted June 21, 2015 Author #9 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Thank you guys, and Jan, as always, looks like I am an open book to you! This is one of the pictures that I am seeking still a better resolution! It shows some nice details of the deck structure in the bow section. If one looks around, there are loads of pictures of the empire attitude of the Victory, but only a few in a useful resolution, those ones I am seeking still. Here is one that confirmed some interesting bits, that I already guessed in other pictures: And very surprisingly - there are no whales and the hull is planked flush, no curve to be seen. No profiles to structure the surface, only thin battens as a split line for the color change, and this one follows exactly the line of the gun ports - not very elegant ... Ok- and I already believed that this could be a fast build. ... ... so I made a dummy .... ... and filled in all the well known artifacts of the original planking.

amateur Posted June 21, 2015 #10 Posted June 21, 2015 Some watercolours suggest that they took the black-white striping to the limit.... (This one is labelled victory in drydock, 1922) Jan dafi, robin b and Seventynet 3 Quote
dafi Posted June 21, 2015 Author #11 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Great!!! Thanks! As far as I can judge by the details that I already know, it is a quite faithful representation. Great to see the catheads properly. Nice to see another detail: The Vic first sat far too deep in the drydock and on top of it, the bow was even lower than the stern. After the King´s moaning, she had to be resettled to todays level.

Joerg Gebhardt Posted June 28, 2015 #12 Posted June 28, 2015 So this time hardly any (dummy) guns and barred gun ports. A very different appearence, indeed. greetings Joerg Quote
dafi Posted October 19, 2015 Author #13 Posted October 19, 2015 Get naked, I know you want it too! ... and there she already gets dressed with the first layer of leveling planking just like nice lingerie ... ... just someone warned me that the is a flip side of the coin waiting ... ... ...
