Kevin-the-lubber Posted February 11, 2020 Share #6 Posted February 11, 2020 Wow, That’s amazing progress in such a short period of time. Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like you’re building straight out of the box I.e. no mods. I’d love to see pics as you go along as I have a sneaking feeling that all the labour I’m putting in to thicken the hulls, recreate the sidesteps etc isn’t worth tuppence unless you’re up close and a modeller yourself.

Bill97 Posted May 29, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 29, 2020 Wow! That is beautiful! Great job. I have ordered my Heller HMS Victory and will begin later this his year after I finish the Cutty Sark I am currently working on. I have read on various sites that the Heller instructions are not in English. Is that correct? And if so, how difficult did that make the construction?
