sorry for the jump in progress. i stopped taking pictures for a while, this is how victory stands today, i have some touching up to do. i finished some of the gun port lids that needed doing before adding the chain wale rigging points, i also need to complete the bow section and more deck gratings and fittings, im not following the instructions in as much as im bypassing the mast and yard making till required. im not sure about using the blocks for the deck guns as they are way out of scale, i think they look silly. anyone have any ideas on that?

some more progress today, added some more gratings the chimney and some mouldings on the starboard and port side, im now working on the chainwales and some bits for main mast and mizzen. a long way to go but every step forward is progress
