[albert]

Hello after pausing the construction of the HMS ANSON 64-gun vessel, I open the shipyard for the construction of the first-class vessel HMS VICTORY 1765 following the drawings of the Greenwich NMM in 1/48 scale. A greeting

I look forward to seeing her stern with the balconies. Most portrayals of her have the Trafalgar stern that she now has.

[Morgan]

Wow that’s ambitious, I’ll tag along on this one!

[GrandpaPhil]

Very cool!

[Tigersteve]

Awesome

This is on my wishlist too - a scratch build of the HMS Victory at launch.

Pulling up a chair and waiting with anticipation.

Just to check my calculations, how large will she be (height, length, depth)?

Thank you for your interest and for your comments.

Congratulations Albert;

 

I am very glad that you have taken on such a vessel. I have always felt that it is such a matter of regret that the original, beautiful decoration of the Victory was removed just before the battle of Trafalgar. Such a shame that the battle was not fought a few years earlier, because then all the visitors to Victory in Portsmouth would see and realise just how attractive these old-time ships were. 

 

I presume that you are aware of the scale carving of her figurehead at the NMM, and the model of her at launching, showing her (incorrectly) on the ways. (She was floated out from dry dock)

 

Anyway, I wish you the best of progress in all of the build, which I will follow with great interest.

 

All the best,

 

Mark P

I hope I live long enough to see your model finished, Albert!

[albert]

Dear friends, I thank you for your welcome interventions, surely my new construction will be very difficult and demanding, so any constructive help from you will be very welcome. Thank you very much, a greeting.

Looking forward to this build Albert. Hard to believe you're shelving Anson after all that work on the frames!

[albert]

Thanks for your comments, I am preparing the double rising coasts and I place them in a provisional way to adapt and divert them to the openings of the gunner, it will be a very long and difficult job, we hope for a good result. A greeting

[DORIS]

Excellent start, Albert. I will follow your build with pleasure. Your workmanship is magnificent and a great inspiration for many people.

 

Best regards

[Hubac's Historian]

[Pirate adam]

Thanks friends, I started assembling the first deviated coasts of the bow. A greeting

'Cant frames' in English. Those look very nicely made. Only a few more needed!

[Heinrich der Seefahrer]

That looks very interesting, Albert, I like the old victory especialy due to her fineart elaborated figurehead and the interesting decoration of the early Gregorian era.

I will learn a plenty from your build. Thanks for sharing and I'll take frankly a  nutwood chair to look over your shoulder.

[albert]

Thank you very much for yours comments and like, cant frame.

Sometimes building frames seems like an endless task. But there has to be an end soon now, surely?
