JohnReid Posted January 4, 2018 #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

JohnReid Posted January 5, 2018 #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!
