I am essentially a 0guage raiway modeller but about 30 years ago I purchased a 1/78 scale plank on frame model victory after a while I found it so difficult that I let it rest until just lately and just now gone back to it live in east Grinstead Sussex and I model lots of raiway items and other sorts of models 

I welcome advice / visits and pictures of other models

Hi Jake, from a former (short-term) East Grinstead resident. The Victory is a very difficult model to take on as a first build, but if you persist, and take advice from other Victory build logs, you should make your way through it with success. And if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the forum members, who are very experienced and helpful.

 

It would be interesting to see photos of your 'O' gauge railway - there's a section for such things at https://modelshipworld.com/forum/73-non-shipcategorised-builds/
