Patrick Haw Posted July 27, 2014 Author #301 Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Kevin, I was thinking the same thing as I re-posted the pictures. Wow, they all look like disasters as we build them don't they? But how beautiful they become as we work our way through the mistakes and re-dos. Just glad we all go through this together Patrick Kevin 1 Quote Previous build HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Current build HMS Enterprise by Patrick Haw - CAF - Scale 1:48

Patrick Haw Posted October 21, 2014 Author #304 Posted October 21, 2014 Well, it's been forever since I posted any progress, but I have been plugging away on Victory slowly but surely. Let's see, what have I been doing? Figurehead is done and on, catheads were completed but I knocked them off so many times turning this monster around on the work bench that I've set them aside for now. The model now sits on a lazy susan/turntable on a separate table for ease of turning. Channels and chain plates are done. Side entry ports and steps are done. Stern and quarter galleries are finished except for black highlights between the windows which I still need to put on. Rudder is coppered and on. Poop deck is just about done except I need more ballusters to complete the poop ladders and am waiting for them. So here's some pictures. More to come.

Shipyard sid Posted October 21, 2014 #306 Posted October 21, 2014 Greetings Patrick Welcome back with lots of progress , all excellent work as per usual, and once again not a speck of dust. Mines covered with black bin bags!! Keep enjoying it Patrick, cracking work. DAVID Quote
Patrick Haw Posted October 21, 2014 Author #307 Posted October 21, 2014 I wasn't happy with the way my coppering was looking after wear and tear. When I first finished the copper I polished it up then hit it with two coats of satin finish clear lacquer. But the color looked uneven, dirty in places, some discoloration from glue in others. So today I turned to ship over, masked and taped above the water line and sprayed on two fine coats of copper paint. I don't know if anyone else has done this, but I'm happy with the result. All the plates retained their edges and the rivets are clearly visible, and the color is consistent and clean.

Kevin Posted October 21, 2014 #308 Posted October 21, 2014 lovely work, i will be interested to see if there is any reaction wrt the copper tiles/wear and tear- with the lacquers that you had previously put on, i still have nothing on mine, so i will be watching Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Patrick Haw Posted October 22, 2014 Author #311 Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks Glenn, David, Sjors and John for you kind words. David, no reaction at all between the old finish on the copper and the new paint...so far. They're both oil-based products so should be compatible. As I mentioned previously, I'm waiting on more balusters so I can complete the poop deck stairs, also waiting on extra belaying pins for the mizzen topsail sheet bits...where did they go? I think Cornwall Model Boats is having someone row them over here. I ordered some other bits and pieces from them to justify the shipping cost, but it's been so long I can't remember what I ordered, so it should be a nice surprise when the package gets here. Working in installing the brass rails now. My eyes must be getting old, the three different profiles all look the same to me, but I finally got them sorted out I think.

Patrick Haw Posted November 21, 2014 Author #312 Posted November 21, 2014 Not a huge amount of progress, but working away on the quarterdeck furnishings. Carronades installed and rigged, poop deck ladders, railing and buckets installed (bucket handles not rigged yet), cannons under the poop ladders installed and rigged. Touch up painting needed! I keep going to everyone's logs for instruction and inspiration - Thank you!

pilidk Posted January 13, 2015 #316 Posted January 13, 2015 Great job on your VICTORY! One question: The carronnades are facing the front of the ship. Aren´t they supposed to face both sides? Superbe painting work by the way Best regards Philippe Quote
Patrick Haw Posted January 28, 2015 Author #317 Posted January 28, 2015 Philippe, Sorry for the delay getting back to you. The carronades could be positioned facing forward, as shown in my build, or they could be moved to point to port or starboard through the forward most bulwark gun ports. Thank you for your nice comments Patrick Quote Previous build HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Current build HMS Enterprise by Patrick Haw - CAF - Scale 1:48
peterwwebster Posted January 30, 2015 #318 Posted January 30, 2015 Hi Patrick. Can I ask a question about rigging the guns please. I think your idea of the 1mm cord is good, Did you drill out the "Knobs" on the back of the cannon to take the breech ropes? Your post #203 talks about a copper ring but I can't make out what you have done, I was thinking about gluing the rope onto the knob where it runs over the top of the knob and a touch of black paint. Given their location a blind man on a galloping horse would be pleased to see the difference! Quote Caldercraft Victory

I think it came out pretty well and I got the look I was after. Actually I think this was the easiest second planking I've done in any of my models. It's not perfect but that's what paint and copper are for! Here are some pics before filler and sanding. I'm about 9 weeks into it and have built a fence in the garden and painted the sun-room during that time, so I'm happy with the progress so far. Patrick mort stoll 1 Quote

Patrick Haw Posted March 4, 2019 Author #322 Posted March 4, 2019 Well it's been about four years since I have touched Victory and she's been wrapped up safely in bubble wrap and plastic the whole time. I suffered some medical setbacks requiring a few surgeries and afterwards just couldn't seem to get my Victory mo-jo going again and followed a few other pursuits. For some reason, recently I've been glancing over at the bubble wrapped bundle on the shelf and the unused tools, paints and assorted parts still sitting in the box...and feeling the build desire well...build. I took the wrappings off her today, and damn, I'm much further along than I remembered...and she's beautiful! It will take me a while to get the shipyard back together the way I want it and then I can get back to work on her. I'm jazzed but also a little intimidated by all the skills and lessons I have to re-learn. Thank goodness I have my fellow Victory builders and their wonderful logs to fall back on! More to follow!

I've just been reading your build log (can't understand how I managed to miss it before!). Lots of good advice and I gained some important insights into the challenges that lie ahead. Thank you - your log will be a regular port of call and I look forward to following it in the future. Progress with my own model has also been adversely effected similar health issues over the last couple of years, both my own and the Admiral's, so I think I know where you're coming from....
