Try as I might I cannot upload these images in the right profile, so please accept my apologies for the state of them.  But if there is a genius out there who knows what I've done wrong I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

 

This is my current progress with the build and will now go into a 3 month break as Im flying back to UK next week.  Any comments or criticisms greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

 

I'm guessing you are using a cell phone to take pictures. The camera's rotation information is stored in the photo, but the actual picture itself remains in its original orientation. MSW doesn't look at that information when the pic is uploaded. Most photo editing tools recognize it, and will rotate the picture.

 

If you are on Windows, a simple way to fix the orientation is to open up the picture in Paint, and save a copy. That will re-orient the actual photo itself. The saved copy should then upload to MSW in the proper orientation.

 

Your Victory build is looking awesome!

I knew that there would be a reasonable explanation, thank you javajon, I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to stuff like that.

I'm due to fly to UK on Thursday having been in Turkey for two years so this will be my last post for 3 to 4 months.  I'll miss my Victory but I'll get to play with the grandkids instead.  Take care everyone and see you in 2022.

Cheers

Nigel

I'm now back in Turkey with my Victory after 4 months in UK.

I started to look at the first planking and decided that the bow need some extra support, so I crafted two filler pieces out of limewood.  I've added half a dozen planks straight off and I now need to shape the next set as I go towards the keel.  As there is so many cannon trucks to make I've decided to make a start by fashioning a small jig which seems to be working ok.  My last photo shows the lower and middle deck cannons mounted but not secured.  I decided to do this now as I thought it may get a little unwieldy later down the line.image0.jpeg.d62c1ca561e0df145fb68b784adadd71.jpegimage1.jpeg.2351f40c9d84d2e57e5ec2bdbb69b9e5.jpegimage2.jpeg.6c42c2e249150db4315ef351ae6e5d35.jpegimage3.jpeg.45554626e469489b97ed8b14e9592ccf.jpeg

Ive just realised that my photos are in the wrong plane again.  Apologies I need to take Javajohns advice but after four months away everything has fallen out on the pillow!!
