Charles Race Posted April 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2020 Hello MSW members- My name is Chuck and I’ve been building model ships for a long time. I’m currently building Heller’s HMS Victory and would like to learn building tips from the group. ccoyle, EricWilliamMarshall, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted April 8, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2020 Welcome to MSW. The easiest way to find other models of the Vic is go here: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17023-quick-find-indexes-to-build-logs-for-kits/ and click on the plastic/resin kit builds. It will download a file of all the plastic/resin kits and HMS Victory is in there.

Thanks, Chuck Here: http://www.dafinismus.de/plates_en.html And I'm removing your email from your post. It's not save as this site gets crawled a lot by Google and other others and you really don't want the spam that will result.
