Jerry Posted May 8, 2014 Share #32 Posted May 8, 2014 Hello Rich..I just had a chance to review your log and can tell immediately you will build a very fine ship. I am happy to see another builder of the HMS Victory and will enjoy my deja vu. Keep up the great work..

Shipyard sid Posted May 8, 2014 Share #33 Posted May 8, 2014 Hello rich Good that you have got your quarter galleries sorted. You can if you want leave them without the skins on until well on into your build if you want. Have a look at Gil middletons log page 2. It saves the chance of any damage during the next few years. Keep enjoying yourself. DAVID Rich.F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.F Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share #37 Posted May 10, 2014 Just a small update, I have been reading the manuals, and looking at other build logs to get a idea of whats next on the to do list.. The Lower deck planking between 4 & 12 bulk head, I wanted to make sure that every plank will be the same, (although i'm guessing this part will not really be seen) so I'm going to use this time and space to try out a few/new ideas, I,m going to try tree nails I made a little jig to cut the 80 mm deck lengths (if this is wrong size please let me know) also made an extra bit if I have the need for 40 mm (half) and then after we had been shopping, a nap and lunch, Lol, I thought of a jig for the tree nails, I'm happy how this has turned out, and how the few planks I have glued in look, (Will edit picture of this in a few days) JPett, src, Aussie048 and 2 others 5 Quote Rich.

Shipyard sid Posted May 19, 2014 Share #40 Posted May 19, 2014 Hello rich Well it's coming on fine. The plank lengths are 85mm and to create a four butt shift see page 10.......planking the upper deck... Keep enjoying yourself..

Rich.F Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share #42 Posted May 20, 2014 Hi All thanks for the likes, Hi David, Page 10? (had a late call out, with a a 3hr round trip, and now back to work) is it worth a redo ? considering in not seen? Hi Sam, I thought it worked out Ok, Although, I think I know what David is speaking of, if so not sure if this will be completed on the upper decks wait and see. src 1 Quote Rich.

Rich.F Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share #43 Posted May 22, 2014 Not much of an update, as haven't done anything this week been to busy at work, I'm not sure to start the 2nd planking or gun ports, oh the choices : David, I found out what you meant by pg 10, ""If you wish to accurately represent the plank length and four butt shift system used on Victory, each plank should be either cut to length of 85mm (approximately 20ft or the planks can be laid full length and scored with a craft knife every 85mm, this latter method often looks the most convincing at this scale. The four butt shift system simply implies that the end of each neighboring plank is offset by 1/5 of twice the length of the planks (34mm) such that the end of every fifth plank athwarships only is aligned (ie separated by four plank shift)"" Once i figure this out ill do this on the upper decks..

maggsl_01 Posted May 25, 2014 Share #52 Posted May 25, 2014 Hello Rich although I am not so much a friend of the Victory (love more the German vessels like Friedrich Wilhlem zu Pferde, Berlin, Wappen von Hamburg) I have to say: Respect, congratulations so far. It is not only a enormous ship but also an impressing model. I will look by sometimes to see your progress. Best wishes Max Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?
