popeye the sailor Posted April 23, 2019 Share #1293 Posted April 23, 2019 you've made some really great progress Kevin she's a stunning vessel to be sure! I think that by the time you can truly hang the completed sign on her, someone will be following you with hankies........the feeling of her being finished might be a bit overwhelming. I remember how I felt when I finished my first project........now, after several.........eh, not so much your labor of love really shows....she's a sweet look'in vessel!

popeye the sailor Posted April 24, 2019 Share #1296 Posted April 24, 2019 I'm a game nut too.......mostly sword and bow..... Divine divinity, diablo, and Gothic are three of my favorites.

English Rebel Posted May 27, 2020 Share #1314 Posted May 27, 2020 What an incredible build, Kevin. I salute you for toiling through all that rigging. I would have gone cross-eyed before I got a tenth of the way in. I had the pleasure of taking a tour of Victory many years ago when I still lived in England. I have one question that is baffling me. If you look at the first photo of the real Victory, you will note that the aft section with all those windows (sorry, don't know the correct term) looks to be parallel to the deck, yet in the second photo of your model, it appears to be sloping down. is that an optical delusion lol?
