Louie da fly Posted September 9, 2022 #11 Posted September 9, 2022 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/ Steven Edwardkenway, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
