HMS Victory by gdollow - Artesania Latina - 1/72 - Cross Section

[gdollow]

I have completed the frames from the 1st video, it it looks like a nice kit, but I have ordered better shaped blocks from HiS Models.  I will probably be posting progress at the end of each video

Nice! Look forward to following along.

Artesania Latina HMS Victory 1/72 Cross Section: 2nd video finished, this should have been simple, but I glued one pair of frames the wrong way round. I did not discover this until the next day when the glue had cured. As I am using Super Phatic glue, I managed to soften the glue with a hair dryer to unstick them and correct the mistake.

 

I have replaced the blocks provided with ones ordered from HiS.  The picture is one of the single blocks, they are a better shape

Already envious of your approach to the build with the addition of better quality parts. I will adopt this approach going forward. Thanks for the help!

Im very interested in you build since I am working on the same model. Thanks for sharing.

Progress at the end of construction video 3, no cock-ups this time, but there are another 21 videos to go.  I will be putting in the ballast in next, as if I follow the instructions this is done in video 21 after all the decks are complete.  I think it will be less fiddly to do it now than with the decks it place.  I will also stick the barrels in at this point as well.

I believe that’s a good idea. I am currently at that point in the build, video 22ish, and I will need to fiddle around a bit because of the limited space.

Video 4 finished along with the planking of the orlop deck.  I have also installed leds for the lighting.  This is a very enjoyable build so far.  I have also installed the ballast as I though it would be easier to do it before the orlop deck planking was installed.

I am working on the orlop deck but also added the ballast and the barrels before moving on to the next step. The glue/sand mixture is not easy to work with and should be done at this time. I even extended it on both sides and have no problems.
