Daliab Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share #123 Posted August 29, 2020 David56... Glad to hear things are on more of a positive path for you and your family. As for your new build log, I'll be on the lookout for it. After building Mantua's Victory, I too would have been tempted to build the Caldercraft version of the Victory after your Mantua version was destroyed by a house fire. I was more motivated by price and didn't realize at the time the kit had changed as much at it has, in particular to the the stern cabins. I think the Caldercraft version looks better from the builds I have seen. I think you might be happier with the new choice if you didn't mind paying a higher price. I'll be watching with great interest. Thank you for your past help and advice on my build. It help a lot! Stay healthy and safe and prayers to you and your family.

Daliab Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share #124 Posted September 23, 2020 Completed the main mast this evening with exception of some of the lines temporarily omitted so as not to interfere with the detail work on the mizzen mast tomorrow. I'll add those lines when yards, sails, and lines are added. WalrusGuy, GrandpaPhil and gieb8688 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mispeltyoof Posted December 23, 2020 Share #133 Posted December 23, 2020 Couldn’t agree more re missing parts. You are correct when you say you have no idea what’s missing until you get to that bit of build.I’m missing many eyelets,no gun carriage wheels,not enough dummy barrels and haven’t got to the rigging yet!

Daliab Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share #134 Posted August 11, 2021 Made a new display stand for the Victory today from Olha Batchvarov's Youtube video. Although the original design was for a smaller model, it also worked with a 57" long model with very little modification. Next I have to build a new display case similar to the one the Smuggler is housed in. Landlubber Mike and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daliab Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share #135 Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Holy Cow! Spent $250 for the oak lumber to build a similar display case built 2 years ago (pictured). Checked on the price of double pane glass for the display case.... $360. Total $610. The case will almost cost more that what I paid for the Mantua/Panart 738 kit. Crazy.
