Landrotten Highlander Posted December 16, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 16, 2018 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)?

Mark P Posted December 16, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 16, 2018 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 mtaylor, albert, druxey and 2 others 5 Quote Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans. 2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

Heinrich der Seefahrer Posted December 28, 2018 Share #24 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) 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.
