HMS Victory by Yon - Caldercraft 1:72


Recommended Posts

Its been a while since my last posting due to a number of factors.  Progress has been slow on the chainplates and gunport lids so there really has not been much to show. My computer packed up, the replacement was "lost" in the post and when I finally had one delivered I had to work out how to do photos on windows 8. I also lost some time recovering from CA exposure.

 

Anyway, it seems that my target to get the chainplates and gunports finished by the end of August has proved to be too ambitious.  In fact I've only managed the port side so far.  Here are some pictures :-

Hi Lawrence

 

Many thanks for your comment.  I attached the cat heads a while ago.  I have posted pictures on the first page of this log, post number 10.

 

I have been following your build with great interest - its really coming on well.

 

Cheers

Hi Lawrence

 

Thanks for your comment !

 

After 2 years of building I am having a bit of a break.  I did this before and found that when I get back to it I am much more enthusiastic.  I was prompted after actually dreaming about rigging gun port lids !

 

I'll be back in the new year.  In the meantime keep up the good work !

 

Cheers

Yon,

Have a Happy Holiday Season and we all look forward to seeing you after the new year.  I particularly enjoyed your explanation of rigging gun port lids and followed your idea stiffining the lanyards with CA.  I finished attaching the lids today and wanted to thank you for your great idea.  Hope to see you soon.

what happened to the pictures? all I see is a square with an x in it? WHY?

 

See:  http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6346-photos-not-showing/   Yon may not be aware of the problem and only he can fix it in his log.

The problem seems to be sorted - maybe it was because I hadn't logged on for so long.

 

I have suspended my build for the time being as my allergy to CA has taken all the fun out of it (and was rather painful).  I realise that the allergy won't go away but I fully intend to get back to it using a full facemask once I've plucked up the courage.

 

Good luck to everyone with their builds.

 

Best

Hi David

 

No, still here in the background. The pictures seem OK now.  Having an extended break as I was suffering a great deal from CA allergy.  I'm going to have another attempt soon with new facemask filters.

 

All the best
