Now THAT is a spread of kilometers/miles
While waiting for your shipment, as you are a Victory fan, if you have not already seen this, you might enjoy the log written just before, during, and after Trafalgar which is posted here at SoS. https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/the-battle-of-trafalgar-original-ships-log.15676/ I am going to be posting letters from Admiral Collingwood to the Admiralty regarding Nelson and the battle as well.Allan

Thanks Allan, I'll definitely watch this video
Hi Gilbert
It is a transcription of the written log, not a video, but interesting none-the less.

Bon jour, Gilbert, I recommend Cornwall Model Boats for the best price. By paying £10 for membership of CMB club, you get extra 5% discount on all orders. They're out of stock at present, but no doubt they'll be getting more soon. They'll probably order for you. Present listed price is £980, Club price, which I paid, is £931.
I bought mine in April & laid her keel on Nov. 11.
Stuart
Thanks Stuart
Let me see this option as well.
I am going to be traveling in a few weeks and would hate to have the box wait for me outside of my house.
So I'll probably place an order in early Jan.
Cheers
Je vous en prie, Gilbert.

Hi Gilbert,
There are a number of excellent build logs on this and other forums for the Caldercraft Victory. It is a wonderful kit and will provide many months (years??) of building pleasure. I am currently coppering my build (but have had a period away with work and travel) so progress is slow, but feel free to read my log.
A couple of the background books on the Victory are a good investment and the book by Keith Julier (The New Period Ship Handbook), is especially useful as it deals with this kit.
It is not a cheap kit, but when you are building you will see the quality of the materials and manuals. I have found excellent support from Jotika too, and I am in Australia!! Good luck and I am sure you will enjoy this build.
Regards,
PeterG

I'll definitely go thru your build log in detail.
I plan to start this project in early 2025, as soon as I have completed the Amerigo Vespucci
Cheers
Bonjour Gilbert
If you do not already have a copy, seriously consider getting a copy (used copies are usually available) of Longridge's The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships. He provides a lot of details for building a model of Victory that could be of help to you.

When I was looking for a first model ship kit to learn, the Caldercraft HMS Victory was one I wanted to build, but I felt it was way beyond my abilities, so I chose a less complex model to learn on, La Couronne from 1636.
Now I'm stuck in the 17th century and can't get out . . .

Gilbert,
I just spent time reviewing the linked videos and at the very last one came to learn that G Kip passed away four months ago.
Thus unfortunately, we'll never see the completion of this amazing build.
May God rest his soul in eternal light.
