kapiteinhadock Posted December 11, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2013 I roamed around on this forum for quite a while now but never posted my own build log . As I purchased a new kit I thought is about time I shared all my mistakes with all of you. I bought the Corel kit as it was easy available and decided to tweak it here and there as I have seen a few nice build logs on this forum. As i'm an engineer on board of a dive support vessel my workshop is a bit small Start of the build with many thanks to AntonyUK who had some PDF files with drawings so I can make some mock up frames Greetings to all, Jantje bhermann and WackoWolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-E Posted December 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Jantje, Welcome to MSW A very interesting kit you have chosen to build Ilike the cross sections because of the below deck detail they show. I tossed up between this kit and the bow section by panhart and went with the latter mainly because it was a bit bigger scale and I wanted to learn some more on how to plank a bluff bow without doing the whole ship, that's a project for the future. Your wokspace looks great how lucky you are building a ship on a ship. Looks like you have made a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 12, 2013 Finished making some frames on both sides from tong depressors out of the medical cabinet (no wood suppliers at sea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyUK Posted December 12, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Jantje. Welcome to MSW. Nice cross section and will build into a nice display. When it comes to the gun ports Do Not rely on the plans being true. The heights are a little out. I like your extra false frames makes all the difference to the finished model. Regards Antony.

kapiteinhadock Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks Antony, It's thanks to your PDF drawings they are there. I ordered two books on Victory to get a bit more details because the Corel kit leaves a lot out. Greetings, Jantje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Made some limber strakes, left the limberboards out because im planning to make a shotlocker and pump casing. Pictures are not so good but I forgot to take my camera on board so these are made with a cellphone.

AntonyUK Posted December 24, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Hi Jantje. Looking good. It's a good job your ship is not a timber one...She would be missing some of the hardwoods. Are you going to Bash the kit ? I.E. make modifications to the build not supplied with the kit. Have a happy Christmas and a nice new year. Are you on shore leave for Christmas ? Time to visit the timber store Keep us posted on your progress . Regards Antony. BTW brill book on EBay item number 271350654479. The 100 Gun Ship Victory. Very good price ATM .

kapiteinhadock Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted December 25, 2013 Hi Antony Im going to try and bash the kit but I have to wait until i can get some extra wood. I already ordered the book "the anatomy of Nelson's ships" from Longridge and "the 100-gun ship Victory" from McKay from the Book Depository. These should be waiting for me when I get home in Gib halfway January . For now I'm building with the PDF's I got from your build log. Merry Christmas and a happy new year, Jantje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted December 28, 2013 A small update, I made a few riders and im trying to make a pump well from some left overs from my President kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyUK Posted January 2, 2014 Share #12 Posted January 2, 2014 Hello Jantje. Ryders looking good. And the pump house has 2 walls The planking on the interior looks very nice. Have a happy new year. Regards Antony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted January 3, 2014 Another update, my parents and kids visited me before New Year and brought me some material to continue my build. I finished the pump well and made a storage rack. WackoWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted January 4, 2014 I put two barrels across on top of the ballast on PS and now I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb for the storage of barrels, longitudinal as on SB or across as on PS ?

snedley22 Posted January 17, 2014 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2014 Great stuff!! I am new to site, and myself have just started on the HMS Victory by Corel. My project will be extremely slow, since I work and have to tons of "honey do's". When I get a chance I will post my project, but in mean time will follow what you have going on.

AntonyUK Posted January 17, 2014 Share #17 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi. you have made leaps and bounds since I last looked in. Love the extra bits you have added. will lead to a very nice model to display Regards Antony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md1400cs Posted January 18, 2014 Share #18 Posted January 18, 2014 Hi Jantje, Nice start, It will be nice to follow. PS: Don't drive across your airport runway at the wrong moment (:-) Regards, Michael D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share #19 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Thanks Jon the build is stopped for six weeks as I'm off now I only build on board of my vessel and the model stays there. Hi Antony thanks, your build is a big example for me hope to get close to your skills. I love your "big"Victory cross section. Thanks Michael I will watch myself I still cant outrun a landing plane. Love your build of Wasa, I have been to the museum this summer it's a very surreal experience standing next to a ship thats build 386 years ago. Kind regards, Jantje Edited January 19, 2014 by kapiteinhadock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapiteinhadock Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share #20 Posted November 15, 2014 Hello, I'm back again. The reason that it's been a while is that my company sold my previous vessel and I have been transferred. I had to get used to my new ship so I left all my modelling stuff at home. This shift I took my Victory with me and made a fresh start.I started with the chain pumps. Jantje GuntherMT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chidokan Posted December 29, 2014 Share #21 Posted December 29, 2014 my wife got annoyed with me ranting about mistakes on my mary rose x section so bought me this for Xmas! Will be following your build closely! Did you have any problems with the ribs as one of mine is quite distorted at the base, looks like a file on the top and filler is needed to bring it back in line... Also curious as to how you intend to mount it... previous build logs suggest a brass post is used but my kit doesnt have this. I was thinking of adding in a couple of screws to raise it off the plinth, hiding the heads under the keelson, a couple of brass spacers, then recess the nuts into the plinth.

Jimz66 Posted December 29, 2014 Share #22 Posted December 29, 2014 This is looking very nice. Wish I could have seen the earlier pictures but they appear to go be gone now. I am going to enjoy this one... Hope all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
