lawrence Posted January 9, 2014 Share #451 Posted January 9, 2014 Hi Lawrence, The length of the 32 pounder is just over 50mm. Hi chris my apologies,having re-read my e-mail I realised that I have not explained very well at all. What I really wanted to know is the measurements of a full size gun carriage from the victory,In order to scale it to fit the 32 pounder that my friend made for me. Many Thanks Lawrence Thunder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted January 10, 2014 Share #457 Posted January 10, 2014 Chris, If you're having quoting issues or issues posting pictures, check what version of IE you're on. If IE11, uninstall the upgrade and reboot to roll it back to IE10.

chris watton Posted January 10, 2014 Share #458 Posted January 10, 2014 Yep, definite quoting and linking issues with IE11, also can't post links to pictures from my Webshots account too! I can quote if I click 'quote' to open in another tab, but if I simply click 'quote', I get nothing! Oh, the weight for the Victory is pure speculation on my part, I know the actual model weighs about 8kg, so if that's doubled, that should be more or less the weight of the kit - I know that the Vanguard plans and instructions alone weighed more than a complete Lady nelson kit!

DiKri Posted January 10, 2014 Share #460 Posted January 10, 2014 If you're having quoting issues or issues posting pictures, check what version of IE you're on. If IE11, uninstall the upgrade and reboot to roll it back to IE10. Within Internet Explorer, look in the menu: Tools/Compatibility View Settings. There you can add the website that doesn't work properly with IE11 to the list. For the sites in this list, IE will behave as an older version. No guarantee that it works, but worth a try...

Keith_W Posted February 2, 2014 Share #463 Posted February 2, 2014 You could always leave sections of hull planking off. If you look through the gun and entry ports, you can still clearly see that they are full assemblies, and you can see other deck detail, too. Also, with the gratings off, you can see right down to the orlop - plus of course, you can have the stern windows in their open position, so you can look right down the gun decks. I wanted to do a kit where, no matter how hard you looked, there'd always be detail. Bellona was the test bed and Victory is the result. Hi Chris, I have been over this thread several times. Unfortunately most of your earlier pictures were lost in The Great Crash. I would dearly love to know more about the construction, and more about what the ship would look like if planks were left off. Would you happen to have these pictures, and if it is not too much trouble - could you please repost them? Also, have you heard anything from Amati as to when this kit will be released?

chris watton Posted February 3, 2014 Share #464 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi amfibius, I don't think I really started the prototype of Victory before the 'great crash', so all the photos I posted are on this thread. I am working on Victory (and Roman warship) right now, so I am not sure when Victory will be released yet.

Keith_W Posted February 3, 2014 Share #465 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for the reply, Chris. I thought that you had finished the Victory and delivered it to Amati? I take it you are working on the plans and instructions? Do you have any other pictures of the interior? Anyway, you've helped me make a decision. I'll build another kit while I wait for yours Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris watton Posted February 4, 2014 Share #466 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes, plans and instructions, and sorting through the hundreds of construction pics. Designing and building the prototype is only half the job when developing a kit - as much time again, sometimes even more time, is spent trying to ensure that people can build the model by way of text, pictures and line drawings.

chris watton Posted February 9, 2014 Share #467 Posted February 9, 2014 OK, just completed final designs for the Roman warship (cut files and PE files), which includes 4 x Ballista's and 1 x Onager - all now emailed and sent off to be made for me. I can now continue with Victory. trippwj 1 Vanguard Models on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonborger Posted February 9, 2014 Share #468 Posted February 9, 2014 Hmm I'm very intrigued at how you've designed the roman warship. From what i;ve seen many many modelers really struggle with the curvature of the bow and stern.Is there going to be any tricks in the instructions (obviously when the prototype is done) or design features that well aid the modeler there?

amateur Posted February 10, 2014 Share #474 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Yes, that's the one Thanks for posting. That will be something different compared to the 'usual' kits.

How and where do you get your information with regard to dimenions, construction and materials? Jan Lots and lots of research, buying many (expensive) books on the subject and then essentially starting from scratch, based on the research I did. There are no line drawings for this type of vessel so I had to make up my own before even starting the designs. (based on dimensions/length to width ratios etc.). I did secure a full set of plans from the Trireme Trust, but to be honest, they were next to useless for the type of vessel I had in mind - a late Republic capital ship that perhaps Agrippa would recognise.

Jean-Pierre Posted February 10, 2014 Share #480 Posted February 10, 2014 Is this model going to replace the current Amati Greek Warship? See build log at http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3985-bireme-greek-warship-480-bc-auvergne-amati-scale-135/ Chris, your model not only looks much longer, but no doubt it will also be quite large with the row ranks. By the way, is the existing 1/1 model a good reference? JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
