ca.shipwright Posted February 25, 2017 #4 Posted February 25, 2017 Beautiful job. Great photography. I am building the same kit as a kit bash. I definitely will use your log as a resource. Thanks for posting popeye the sailor and Steve 12345 2 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

Steve 12345 Posted February 25, 2017 Author #5 Posted February 25, 2017 thank you for viewing and your interest ca.shipwright I will be sure to follow your log and see what can be done with this kit I only wish I left the kit alone until I was more experienced I might have done so much more with it .one thing may help you I assume you have 8 plan sheets ? these do not include drawings of the sails you need to source that drawing from the mantua sergal version plan sheet 8 a popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Steve 12345 Posted February 25, 2017 Author #6 Posted February 25, 2017 8a from sergal will show the stay sails and belaying points of all the sails not included in the eight panart plans popeye the sailor 1 Quote
ca.shipwright Posted February 25, 2017 #7 Posted February 25, 2017 Interesting about the sail plan sheet. It look's like the more you spend, the less you get. However, I have not been a big fan of sails on a static model. I have always built them bare. But, looking at you fine work may cause me to reevaluate my position. And, your next build?

Steve 12345 Posted February 25, 2017 Author #8 Posted February 25, 2017 After the little mare nostrum build I did I have become a big fan of bare wood models instead of painting just use hardwood and softwood mixtures I think some of the artesania Latina kits lend well to this and I'm considering a Scottish maid or independence popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Worldway Posted February 25, 2017 #9 Posted February 25, 2017 I agree Steve, my current build, the Bluenose will be painted but I have always been a fan of natural wood colours. I'm sure you have heard of intarsia. I made a wooden teddy bear for my son when he was born using different woods to achieve different colours on the bear. I love bringing out the natural wood tones. Wood should be appreciated and not hidden under layers of paint.

Tim Curtis Posted February 25, 2017 #10 Posted February 25, 2017 Steve. Amazing build. Especially since this was your first and only took 11 months. Wow! Liked so much of it, but partic your sails seemed to be very fine and neat. Wonderful work. And very quick! Tim Steve 12345 and popeye the sailor 2 Quote
ca.shipwright Posted February 26, 2017 #11 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) My Victory is a kit bash using the Practicum by Bob Hunt. In this practicum he uses ebony for black and boxwood for the light stripes. The planks follow the sheer of the ship while the stripes parallel the keel. This makes you construct a plank that is partially light and partially dark. Bob calls this "paint with wood." Unfortunate;y, I am allergic to ebony so I am ebonizing some boxwood using India ink. This works pretty well. Regards Edited February 26, 2017 by ca.shipwright popeye the sailor and Steve 12345 2 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

WRSparky Posted March 3, 2017 #14 Posted March 3, 2017 Steve, The leader of our Atlanta Model Shipwrights shared this build with our group - and I am much appreciative. I have been working on a version of the H.M.S. Victory in about 1/120 scale (about 84 instead of 104 guns). It was partially finished and was about to be "trashed." What a waste it would have been! Your photos will be invaluable to me in finishing what I've started. popeye the sailor and Steve 12345 2 Quote
Heronguy Posted March 3, 2017 #15 Posted March 3, 2017 You certainly demonstrate a talent Steve! You build a ship in under a year while I struggle to build four cabin walls in a month - and your results are excellent. Glad you're building and sharing your work! Keep at it but don't forget to sleep too! popeye the sailor and Steve 12345 2 Quote Doug Current Builds: Bluenose II - AL / Krabbenkutter / Prince de Neufchatel / Essex Cross-section / Syren / Barque Stefano / Winchelsea / Half Hull / Maria HF31 - Dusek / Bandirma - Turkmodel On the Shelf: Santisima Trinidad and Cross Section / HMS Cutter Alert / Tender AVOS / Confederacy Suspended Build: Bluenose II - Billing Boats Nr 600

Steve 12345 Posted March 4, 2017 Author #19 Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks also Doug I found the speed of my build came with the inexperience it was pretty hard to overthink things I knew nothing about anyway and regardless to the size of the thing it's still a ship and even a small ship build has all the same processes such as planking copper playing rigging etc. A small ship has just as much work just a large ship your stuck on the same stage for a we while longer popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Steve 12345 Posted March 4, 2017 Author #20 Posted March 4, 2017 I'm guessing the original victory the one that sunk was 84 gun ? popeye the sailor 1 Quote
mtdoramike Posted March 4, 2017 #22 Posted March 4, 2017 Absolutely beautiful. What a great job on her. I still believe Mantua/Panart make one of the if not the best Victory kit on the market for the price point. Steve 12345 and popeye the sailor 2 Quote
Steve 12345 Posted March 4, 2017 Author #23 Posted March 4, 2017 I was very impressed with the mantua version I would really like to try the Caldercraft version but would it be worth the investment? popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Bill Morrison Posted March 5, 2017 #24 Posted March 5, 2017 Steve, That is an excellent job! Victory is also my first plank-on-bulkhead wood ship, but I am using the much smaller Aeropiccola version (long out of production!). I believe that I will use your photos as inspiration.
