GrandpaPhil Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share #640 Posted June 9, 2020 I thank everyone for your support. I apologize, but the Victory is starting to aggravate me again. I'm going to take a step back and build a schooner. I have started a build log for the schooner Hannah from the mid-1760s over in the scratch build section. The last time I did this, my progress on Victory increased exponentially after I finished my side project.

Dieter Posted June 10, 2020 Share #643 Posted June 10, 2020 Sad that you stop the Victory. Think I have to do my own build blog. But I can understand you I haved stop the build since 1975 more and more times and now I hope to beginn again with the Victory because I was in Portsmouth last Year and see that wonderfull ship in 1:1 scale.

Sometimes it's better to step back and revisit the ship later with fresh ideas when inspiration strikes again.

GrandpaPhil Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share #650 Posted February 12, 2021 When I get done with Hannah, I really need to add scuppers. I just realized that I forgot them on this model, which is not okay, given the amount of detail that I have attempted (and succeeded with) so far. I added them to the Prince de Neufchatel and the Hannah, but not this one. Considering the Victory will be the flagship of my collection until I build something better, I owe it to myself to put forth maximum effort and exert maximum skill on this.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share #654 Posted August 2, 2021 The Hannah is done. That makes a total of 2 scratch built ships that I have made. I am over half completed on a 1/48 B-25 (plastic kit with custom paint job and markings). I started it yesterday once I decided that I had finished the Hannah. Being a plastic kit, that should only need one more good weekend to complete and then game on for the Victory.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share #656 Posted August 9, 2021 I’m starting to look at Victory’s AOTS plans again. It looks like I really don’t have much left to make. I need some railings, mounting brackets for the fire buckets, the lanterns, a chart cubby for the quarter deck, some hammock cranes, netting, the marines walk, some davits, a set of ships boats, some chainplates, a few other misc fittings and then on to masting, rigging and sails. It sounds like a lot, but on this ship, that’s not a whole lot left. The hard part’s done. I still need to finish a bomber (the B-25), but that will be quick.

GrandpaPhil Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share #657 Posted August 9, 2021 Here are the updated pictures of the Victory: It looks like the rigging sprung on a carronade and the figurehead needs some minor work.
