But I am very happy about your words !!! Old Collingwood 1 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746

Hello Joseph Ford, sorry, I just saw your question. Unfortunately I don't understand it. What do you mean by "status of this ship model"? Of course it is still under construction. And unfortunately there is no end in sight, as the following work is new territory for me. I have never rigged a model. And I'm having trouble understanding the plans. So it will take me a lot of time ... Did I answered your question? Thanks for your compliment! You´re welcome! Heinz Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746
Dean Posted September 19, 2020 #247 Posted September 19, 2020 Hi great work looks amazing. can I ask you were you got your rigging drawings. I have some but they are not very good and I’m finding hard to get it right thanks Old Collingwood and Heinz6672 2 Quote

It´s just a matter of time. I found a nice woman. She is from Thailand. We plan to move to Thailand sometime when we are financially independent. Until then, I'll try to learn the language and have signed up for a language school. It is very difficult and takes a lot of time. But that's life... I will take some actual photos of my Victory afterwards. Then you see that unfortunately not very much progress ... Best -Heinz- Old Collingwood and rkwz 2 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746

Heinz6672 Posted December 4, 2020 Author #252 Posted December 4, 2020 Hello friends! Time for a new update and some new pictures I have made today. I have a few free days and started with the main mast. As you know, I don't use the wood from the model kit, but only my own wood. As always, my first attempt failed, so I had to start again. I also hat to tie the net twice. Now the lower section is done and I am quite happy with the result! At least I took a new picture of the rear of my victory, using the "portrait-function" on my iPhone. I like it 🙂 Best to all of you and a happy pre-christmas-time!!! -Heinz- GrandpaPhil, BenD, Landlubber Mike and 5 others 8 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746

It would be my greatest joy to attempt the build, but alas I came to this hobby far too late in my life and I am not sure if I have enough years remaining to complete this great venture. Now I will restrict my pleasure to dreaming of what might have been and reading the great logs of the fantastic builds of this ultimate model. You are never too old to venture into this hobby! I have a good friend over on FSM who is 90 years old and builds some of the most impressive models I have ever seen. It is a real pleasure to see his works, especially his newer models. If you are tempted to build this model, go for it! Bill Landlubber Mike 1 Quote

Heinz6672 Posted December 27, 2020 Author #260 Posted December 27, 2020 Hello dear friends! Not really an update - more the chance to wish you all the best for the coming year. It was crazy! Hopefully next year everything will be back to normal soon! As you can see, I started shrouding the main mast over Christmas. Of course I ran out of yarn on the last shroud. Now I have to order new one first. I started building my Victory 7 years ago in December 2013. That's why I always get a little nostalgic during the Christmas season. Also today I looked back and found a photo that was taken yesterday 7 years ago. I never thought that I'm working on this model for so long (I admit, there were breaks in this time...) . But it's still fun like the first day! I wish you the best for the next year!!! Heinz rkwz, mort stoll, Robert29 and 2 others 5 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746
Heinz6672 Posted April 11, 2021 Author #261 Posted April 11, 2021 Hello my friends! I have seen so many nice pictures and progress by all of you, that I decided to make an update for myself. In the meantime, I began with the mizzen mast. Of course, the same work as on the other two masts. But still the opportunity to post a few new photos. I wish you all a great weekend!!!

Sjors Posted August 21, 2021 #265 Posted August 21, 2021 Hi Heinz, I re-read your log for so many times and I'm still impressed with what I see. A Victory without colors and it looks great! It's nice to see that some builders are follow there own schedule. You have make the inner bulwark first before you go to the second planking. I'm just starting the second planking and when I,m below the gunports maybe I will do the same and work upwards instead of downwards.
