HMS Victory by Eugenio Treviño - Corel - 1:98

[Eugenio Treviño]

Hi everybody!

 

These past few days I have had less time for the build. So I could only do the main channels and de boomkins.

I am surprised how solid the channels set. I hope I will not break them while rigging.

 

Here are the picks!

 

Best regards.

Hi everybody!

 

All channels are in place now. 

 

 

The only structures I see on the plans are still missing before starting with the masts and rigging are the boats davits; but I think I will do them at the end of the build.

 

Best regards!

Great progress! If they come loose, you may want to peg them with some wires then insert into predrilled holes on the hull. Here's what I did in my build:

Hello friends.

 

The fore channel’s deadeyes have been set. Not so satisfied with the port side, but after some practice the starboard side turned out much better.

 

Here are the picks.

 

Best regards.

Hi there

Just a few words to congratulate you. She looks nice !

I spent a few months far from my Victory. Still settling in the house, had to to some masonry and take care of the garden. 

Hope I will get some time for the construction, yet planking is far from finished.

Best regards

Nicolas thank you very much for your kind words!!! Congratulations for your new home!

 

Fortunately my professional activity has come back to a more normal situation, so my time for the build has been reduced significantly.

Nevertheless today I reached my second milestone and I am very happy with the result. I will post the pics next.

 

Best regards!

Today, after 9 months, I have reached  what I consider my second milestone. Finishing the HMS Victory’s hull and all its structures. I am very happy with the result. Of course it is not the greatest Victory model, but one I am really proud of. I have learn a lot and overcome a lot of difficulties.

 

Now the third and final stage will begin. Masting and rigging. I have no idea how I will do it, but I am decided to do my best to accomplish the task.

 

Here are the picks!!!

Hi there   Eugenio,

 

Let me cut straight to the chase and say to you sir  -  with the kit  you took on  - with what you had  in front of you in the box,   you have done a Marvelous job, it was always going to be tough with this kit  (For Anyone)   but  you have  excelled with this kit  stamping  your own  personality on it  - that you will take forward with you into future builds.

 

Keep up the  good work.

 

OC.

Wow, excellent work Eugenio, you have built it exactly how the instructions describe and it looks great. One small detail, the holes for the belaying pins should be a little larger so they sit down further on the bulge in the middle of them

 

Cheers

Steve

Eugenio,

As an obvious fan of HMS Victory, you may be  interested to know that there is a project in the works to produce a television series about Nelson and Trafalgar.  The writer, Adam Preston, is working on getting folks to sign on to show the TV studios he works with that there is significant interest in seeing this project come to fruition.  I hope you don't mind that I am posting this here as Victory is an obvious part of this project.  Please take a look at the New Podcast/TV series about Nelson and Maritime Britain during the Trafalgar Period post in the Nautical/Naval History forum here at MSW and sign on board.
