Valter64 Posted January 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2018 Hello, I would like to take part in this adventure, always fascinated by everything concerning Admiral Nelson, especially the vessels he commanded, the Vanguard, employed by Nelson in the battle of the Nile is one of those that most attract my attention .. Follow photos of the progress of construction. Good vision. Valter aviaamator and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnReid Posted January 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 4, 2018 Great idea ! there are a lot of Victorys around including mine.If I had to do it over again I would love to do HMS St. Lawerence which was actually larger than the Victory and built at Royal Navy Dockyards Kingston Ontario Canada.It actually saved Canada during the war of 1812 as it was the largest ship on Lake Ontario where both sides knew whoever had the largest ship would win the war.After that the Americans turned their attention to the Atlantic.This battle was as important to Canada as Trafalgar was to the English but because Canada was under the control of the English at time it got little recognition. Good luck with your Vanguard.Cheers! John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnReid Posted January 5, 2018 Share #22 Posted January 5, 2018 Love the deck work ! When I built my Victory I piled up a stack of planks and lightly glued a piece of black paper to the pile and then cut out each one with a razor blade.No glue marks were showing on the finished product.Cheers!
