Guest Posted June 27, 2020 #1 Posted June 27, 2020 The VICTORY’s keel was laid down in my shipyard at the end of 2011. This is the third ship released in installments by the magazine. That is why I started building without knowing what I was setting myself in for. Having already assembled the hull, it was evident that the ship would be large and heavy and complicated to build. About the time I completed the first layer of planking to the gunports - I put it aside to complete first simpler models. This interruption lasted 3.5 years until January of 2017. I began work on it again and this time took it firmly in hand, without distractions until completion in June of 2017, the last steps being the flags and glass cover. It took me 4.5 full years to complete the model.

Guest Posted June 28, 2020 #6 Posted June 28, 2020 Hi, Bill! I have been living here since October 2019. So - we are neighbors!?))) With regards!
allanyed Posted August 28, 2021 #12 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Olha, Love your work and lessons!! Taking a wild guess here but are you related to Kroum? I figured that might be the case as he is with UConn and a marine archeologist. I still reference his thesis from A&M once in a while!!

Guest Posted January 7, 2022 #15 Posted January 7, 2022 How to improve the model through quality ropes. You spent a lot of time building a model, isn't it worth buying quality ropes or a ropewalk for making them?!
tomganc Posted January 8, 2022 #16 Posted January 8, 2022 That’s great build Olha. I have found you on youtube first and I must say you work has been a great inspiration for me. I’m building the same model and I’m following some of your steps best regards Tom LEFEBVRE 1 Current Builds: HMS Victory by DeAgostini 1/84 HMS Victory Build We don't stop playing because we grow old... we grow old because we stop playing...
