Yon Posted February 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2013 OK so I've registered a new account and I'll now post some of the pictures I have at this location that were in my build log. I hope fellow CC Victory builders do the same as the help of their logs was invaluable. I'm going to try and post 5 pictures per post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipyard sid Posted February 16, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 16, 2013 Hello there yon Welcome back . I just said in my log you would be organized. Derek s was asking me about you . He as decided for some reason to change he's name to .... Ocean clipper .... I said it should be ... old steam tug. Any way thanks a lot yon, I look forward to all your updates.DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipyard sid Posted February 17, 2013 Share #15 Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks for your last post, hope all is ok, I have just had a bit of help from you. I decided to make up the cats heads and see how they fitted, and there they are on your log. What I was thinking was to maybe use the beach strip as the continuation from the bottom of the catheads support bracket onto the upper head rail, as this would be simpler than using brass profile. Anyway the best of luck with your build. Are you far off starting the galleries, let me know. Cheers yon. DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #16 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi David I forgot to mention on my log that I did not use the brass profile. I tried heating it up as per the instructions but it was far too tough to bend it to the required angle. If you can get the beach strip to bend enough without breaking then that would be a better solution. I used styrene strip which was easily shaped but, of course, you have to have some lying around ! Anyway, good luck with the catheads. I'm currently making up the waiste steps and hand rails. I'm thinking of leaving the galleries until I've finished the quarterdeck fittings and the poop. Right now I think I need a break as I've been working on my Victory 3 days solid and barely been outside - its becoming a bit of an obsession !!

Yon Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Rosmarie, Mark and Mort Thanks for looking in - the site is slowly returning to normal with all the familiar builders getting their logs back up. Over the last 4 days I've been busy on my build mainly around the waist with the ladders & hand rails, Barricade, Brest beam and main companionway. I even had a go at the netting for hammocks which I think turned out OK. Here are some pictures Cheers all Yon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocean clipper Posted February 19, 2013 Share #21 Posted February 19, 2013 Hello Yon That netting looks nice was thinking do i do that or not,to be honest i had a job even finding some even our local model railway shop did not stock it,just be carefull you do not catch it with your arm,one of the resons i am putting that bit up as late as poss,but great looks neat really DEREK :pirate41: Quote current build HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yon Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Daniel - thanks for the comment - much appreaciated. Hi Derek - Thanks, we don't have much in the way of model shops in Jersey so I have to source everything online. For the netting I used some old net curtains and painted them black. Attaching them was not difficult just a bit tedious. I hear what you say about catching them on my arm - between the hammock cranes and the boomkins disaster can't be far away !

Shipyard sid Posted February 19, 2013 Share #24 Posted February 19, 2013 Greetings yon All is looking good. I do agree with derek on the netting, you can easily snag it. I have looked about for something to use and all I have came across Is the mesh they use for the wrapping of garlic. You see it in supermarkets, then I seen it mentioned on someone's log saying it was not a good choice, so curtain seems the best bet up to now. You must be just about ready for the poop deck and stairs now. Anyway keep up the good work. Crack on ...DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share #25 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi David - I know the stuff you mean - it might be a little too flexible - I'll have a look at it next time I'm out shopping. I recall that Gil called the material he used "tulle" which I think is either the same as net curtains or similar. I still have a few bits to do before the poop - cannons for one thing. Making up the cannon for the deck below nearly put me off the build altogether so I think I may stagger that job a bit - Cheers Hi Gary Thanks for your comment - Although I've complained about some aspects of the kit, overall I would agree that it is a great kit and lots of fun to work on.

Yon Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share #30 Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Kevin. Thanks - I'm ahead in some respects but have still not tackled the quarter galleries. You did a great job with yours. To be honest I'm finding that whole stern area a bit daunting. Looking forward to you getting back to your build. All the best Yon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
