bozobozo Posted November 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2017 I am in the early stages of building HMS Victory. My wife bought me the Corel 1:98 kit over twenty years ago. About ten years ago I started it and got the first layer of planking. I was not happy with the results so I put it aside and just recently decided to start all over again. I am building this iteration pretty much from scratch, about all I'm going to use from the kit are the fittings and some of the material. Wish me luck! I'm going to post my first question shortly. I have joined several ship modeling sites so you may if you visit multiple sites you may see me elsewhere too.

spars Posted November 6, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 6, 2017 I have found useful information and inspiration from you tube videos from D'Agostini and others who model Victory. I believe there are as many ways to create a model as there are builders. Whatever you do, your creativity makes the model live. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
