Marinus Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted December 6, 2021 The second planking is not going exactly the way the schip was build in real live but it is looking okay and most of it will be covered with the copper plates. Forgot to taper the planks when I used Chuck Passaro's bending technic. yvesvidal, mort stoll, Wahka_est and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mort stoll Posted December 7, 2021 Share #33 Posted December 7, 2021 It still looks great. Most of the planks are covered in plating and the ship is going to be painted. Keep up the great work.

Marinus Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted December 16, 2021 First stage done of the second planking. The planking didn't go exactly as I had planned but it looks ok and I made it very smooth with a lot of sanding. I will get some primer and spray that on to y the waterline so I can see if I have some more sanding to do. I will continue planking upwards to just below the upper deck gunports and will then install the upper gun deck and do the upper gun deck planking.

Forgot to taper the planks when I used Chuck Passaro's bending technic. Does the kit have copper sheathing material or will you be using something else? The reason I ask is that most, if not all, kits with copper sheathing have the stuff which is not remotely close to being realistic and greatly diminishes the look of an otherwise beautiful model. There are alternatives that will avoid the measles look on kit supplied copper materials and has been discussed in depth here a MSW lately. If the plates in your kit have the phony bumps that are supposed to be bolts or rivets, PLEASE look at the discussions because there were no bolts or rivets used, but rather nails that indent the plates, they did not stick out. At your scale they would be nigh invisible so probably better to use plain copper tape material with no fasteners indicated at all. Just as an FYI, the plates were about 48"X15" (0.67"X0.20" at 1:72) if you want them to be to scale. These overlap 1.5" on one vertical side and on one horizontal side much like roof shingles.

Marinus Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted February 10, 2022 Lined the gunports with no lids and planked the inner bulwarks. I will paint the bulwarks after I lined all the gunports and installed the beam shelves, stringers and waterways. It was a time consuming job but I am happy with the result. Now back to planking the outer hull. BenD, mort stoll, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinus Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share #41 Posted October 13, 2022 Hello, the golf season is ending and I am going to spend more time at building the Victory. My next task is lining the gun ports. I looked at other builds and got a lot of good information how to do this. If somebody has some advice how to do this I am happy to hear from you.

Marinus Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share #42 Posted October 16, 2022 Got one gunport lining done, many more to go. I like to thank all Victory builders who posted a lot of great information to make it easier for new builders. 👍 mort stoll, Mr Whippy and rshousha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinus Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share #43 Posted November 1, 2022 Lower gunports lined on the starboard side. Not as difficult as I thought but still a very challenging job, patience helps a lot.

Marinus Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share #45 Posted December 2, 2022 Gunports lined and painted. Painting the inside bulwarks, it takes a lot of coats to cover nicely. In the meantime in between the painting I started the Cannon carriage assemblies. mort stoll, Charter33 and BikerMart 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinus Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share #47 Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Happy New Year to you all. Back working on the Victory. Painted the hull and Cannon carriages and started the copper plating. Have to touch up some spots on the hull and paint the gunports. The instruction says that the outside edges should be yellow, but the real Victory has everything painted red. Didn't make a decision yet what to do. The cannons take a lot of time, same as the copper plating. I will find some other things to do on the Victory in between so I will have a break from it.

Marinus Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share #48 Posted November 15, 2023 It's been a little while that I worked on the Victory. We moved to a new house and it took some time to set everything up again. I am working on the cannons and the copper plating of the hull. mort stoll and Snug Harbor Johnny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marinus Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share #50 Posted December 18, 2023 The Port side is sofar done. I will buy a paper cutter to cut the rest of the missing plates. I will start next with the Starboard side. It's not perfect, but I am happy the way it turned out. First time I did the copper plating. Any suggestions are welcome.
