robdurant Posted November 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2017 Hi, Not sure if these will be useful to anyone in the middle of building Victory, but I visited today and took a bunch of photos... you can find them here... Flickr photo album I'm particularly pleased with the shot below, including an example of an early 19th Century orange plastic bucket (!) - a perfect example of the thing you DIDN'T see when you took the shot! Anyway, they're there, and if they're helpful to anyone, then I'm glad. Any questions about where the shots were taken, let me know, and I'll attempt to answer them.

Landrotten Highlander Posted November 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2017 Thank you for those, Rob. I am part of a small group of volunteers involved in building a model of the Victory in our local library. The model belongs to one of the employees there, whose father has passed away before he could complete the model, wo we are offering some of our time to complete this build. Those pictures will be put to very good use, I am sure. Slainte, L.H. mtaylor, robdurant and Canute 3 Quote Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam Slainte gu mhath L.H.

robdurant Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted November 23, 2017 I completed a model of Royal Yacht Caroline my father started before passing away, so I have some idea of the privilege and challenge of that task. I wish you and all your fellow volunteers all the best. I'm sure you'll do a great job!

Osmosis Posted November 27, 2017 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Rob, Thank you so much for posting these photos. While I am not building the Victory right now (or probably ever) I am building the model shipways naval gun display and scratch building the carriage. Yours are some of the best detailed pictures of the 12 pndr carriage I have been able to find. Also the pictures detailing the on deck stowage of round shot are very helpful as I am adding this detail as part of my kit bashing. Thanks for sharing and best regards, Edited November 27, 2017 by Osmosis robdurant, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Art Smith Current Build: E.M.

Sailor1234567890 Posted December 13, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 13, 2017 As soon as I started looking through them, it was clear they were taken from the prospective of someone who needs details for a model. You swinging by Cutty Sark any time soon. CaptainSteve, robdurant and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdurant Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted December 13, 2017 Sadly not... and I live on the wrong side of the country. But you can be sure that if I find myself in Greenwich Cutty Sark will have lots of photos taken as well. I only have a couple as it stands but they do show what her coppering looks like in real life quite nicely....
