HMS Victory by Pfälzer - Corel - 1:98

[Pfälzer]

Hello lovelies,
I would like to introduce you to my new project.
Actually I wanted to continue with lower scales after the San Martin. But then I found this kit on the net and bought it very cheaply.
So I bravely embarked on the tall ship adventure.
There are only a few finished prototypes of this kit, which makes things even more exciting.
I will try to build a model of it from around 1780, even without copper planking. However, I will only make a final decision on this point after the panelling. I like woodwork, so I'm also in good spirits in this respect.
As you can see, I also bought some literature to help me. It contains very detailed building plans on a scale of 1:100, which doesn't make much difference.
The kit comes with a proof of purchase from 1988, which is confirmed on closer inspection of the contents. I don't have to worry about burnishing the brass. Forty years of storage have left their mark and have already taken care of this issue themselves.
Again, nothing is laser-cut, all parts are sawn or milled and of outstanding quality. I quickly had moist eyes when I unpacked the kit. But more on that in the course of the build.
I also started building the basic frame straight away, which is hardly worth mentioning. A little sanding here, a little sanding there and everything was just right.
Sit back, it's going to be another

Good luck on your journey with this kit. It looks like it is full of blocks and deadeyes, and all the rest of the  trinkets.Two ships wheels? I enjoyed your last build, pulling up a chair a will follow along. Best of luck.

Planking the Deck

[Pfälzer]

Hallo zusammen,
das erste Deck würde beplankt werden. Ein wunderschönes Holz. Leicht verdreht und verzogen, aber so fein gemasert. Naja, das Holz vor 40 Jahren war ganz anders als heute. Habe neulich erst einen Bericht darüber gelesen. Ganz andere Dichte des guten Stücks Baum.
Der Nachteil wird sein, dass sich das Nussbaumholz der zweiten Beplankung evtl. schwer biegen lässt, da die Restfeuchte im Holz fehlt.
Naja, wir werden sehen

Nice work, you may have to soak the plankes in water for a longer period of time,  but they  should bend, good luck.

Handmade Holes for the Cannonballs.

Et Voila, the Gratings on the lower Deck

[kostas_gr]

I’m building the same kit, but I believe Corel's version is somewhat outdated. After reviewing numerous build logs and pictures, I’ve noticed several differences. I found the stern gallery particularly challenging to complete, so I decided to take a break and work on another kit for now.

I’ll be following your build log closely to gather ideas from your progress

[Pfälzer]

I finished the lower Deck and take the Cannonballs on it before installing the second Deck

[Knocklouder]

That looks very nice sir. .

thank you Bob

Two ships wheels?

Is there a reason you question this?   Even her original 1765 version before the massive rebuild in 1803 had two wheels as can be seen in the contemporary model from RMG below.

@Fritzlindsay I am a newbie and never have I seen a ship with two wheels. This is my first, so I was just wondering  not questioning . No insult intended.
