racedees Posted September 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2020 Hello everyone. My name is Daniël age 43 from the Netherlands. I'm used to build WWII airplanes, but a long time ago my wife purchased the 1/225 Revell H.M.S. Victory. She started the kit, but due to it's age (1959) it wasn't falling together by it self. So she quit. A year ago i was reading the book Batavia by Peter Fitzsimons during my vacation. Somehow since that book I wanted to build a ship. So when we came home I pulled the Victory from the stash and started to disassemble everything my wife assembled. I'm building it in it's "new" colours. Like the original has got now. In the mean time a few other kits magicaly were added to the stash. A probably 1/120 scale Cutty Sark and the Clipper Thermopylae around 1/130 scale. Both kits are very basic and look almost the same and are 24" long. The Batavia in 1/150 scale and a Spanish Galleon in 1/450 scale. All are Revell kits. Now a question to the mods... Is it alowed to start a log on a already started model? The Victory in my case. If somebody wants to see pictures, just let me know. mtaylor, Edwardkenway, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted September 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2020 Hello Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. No problem in starting a build log for an already started model.

Louie da fly Posted September 17, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2020 Welcome Daniël. Certainly open a build log for the model. If you can, add pictures of the earlier steps in the build, leading up to its present state. But if you can't then just start from there and continue. I grew up in Western Australia and the Batavia is part of our local history. There's quite a large section of her stern in the Fremantle Shipwreck Museum,along with cannons and other artefacts, plus even the stones for the gateway of the fort at Batavia (modern Djakarta) which she was carrying when she hit the rocks. Have fun with the Victory. And when you're finished, maybe you can start on the Batavia. mtaylor, JeffT, Edwardkenway and 1 other 4 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
