HM Cutter Lady Nelson by p.hoek - FINISHED - Amati/Victory Models


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

This is my modest attempt on the excellent HM Cutter Lady Nelson kit. At this stage, the hull is almost ready. Inspired by some outstanding examples in this forum, I decided to add some nice little details.

 

I do not have much time to send many posts to show all progress. So, the next post will take a while...

 

Enjoy the pictures!

 

Peter

Thanks for the nice words! This forum is a great help for me to achieve this result. Also the pictures of historical models, for example in the National Maritime Museum, give a lot of inspiration. Now, I'm going to concentrate on the rigging.

the Lady Nelson was my first attempt at static model building after many years building & sailing R/C models. My attempt was nowhere as good as yours, it looks brilliant with all the add on bits ,it just goes to show what a little imagination & research can do. Congratulations !  Geoff
