HMS Victory Mantua 1:78 (first build) by Grant Tyler

[GrantTyler]

Good morning. I comment on other logs how I always enjoy some pictures of the whole ship and then rarely do so myself (“pot calling the kettle black”) . Adding some Hammock cranes I decided to rectify my hypocrisy .


Enjoy this February day. Cheers

And when you do add the overview pictures, it is simply amazing to see what you have achieved. It is a very impressive build Grant!

Thank you Heinrich. On the whole I do like my ship. My kids are now discussing who must get it my will- so I think they like it too. My answer- when I’m gone you two can play Rock Paper Scissors for it. Cheers

Great safe with the pictures Grant.
The model itself ain't looking half bad either...

you still have a lot of years of modeling, so there will be several more models to give to your childs (question off course how many childs you have )
Very good model btw - I would also participate in the discussion....

I'll answer for Heinrich - it's called rattling down... Of course, you can also rattle up but that's not the lingo!

Cheers Johan- my bar (shipyard)will be neat on Saturday as Justin has found a flat to rent and all his “stuff” will moved from my shipyard.

Hello Glenn- thanks. I think with the number of shrouds on this model I will be rattling down or up ( for Paul) for a really long time
