victory

Here is a few photos on the way

I guess little late starting a build,log is better than not starting at all. This kit is a challenge as it is mostly inaccurate as a representation of the midsection of the HMS VICTORY. That is part of the fun and challenge to take basically a shell and make something more true to the...

My second ever wooden model ship. Hopefully putting into practice, lessons learned from building the Halcon and taking on board the excellent advice from members on this site. HMS Victory is currently in dry dock at my "shipyard", with the false keel clamped in the jig. 18 bulkhead frames and...

I present to you my current project, the famous HMS Victory. It's a project that I've been working on for a few years, since I'm picking it up and leaving it as time goes by. I had a problem with the computer and I have lost the assembly photos so I can only show the current ones. greetings sailors

Hey guys I decided to build my first model kit. Of course I'm finding out that I'm building one of the hardest models to start... Mantua HMS Victory 1:98 art.776. I do plan on starting a full build log but I need to recover parts that are missing from the kit. I noticed that Parts numbers 21...

Have been watching TraumaDoc's progress with great interest as he is just a few weeks ahead of me. Also see that Maddog Harry is also embarking on the same voyage. I have been learning a lot from Paul Vicker's videos/log as well. I started my build on 23 November and have gotten the first...

If you saw a Caldercraft Victory on eBay that had been started, would you be tempted? Last year this happened to me and I had to get it, I had no intention of starting it back then as I had other things to do. This was not going to be my next project but as we are putting our house on the...

All right, here we go,, I finishing up my Amati Vanguard now as my “learning” ship and am now taking on the Victory which has been my dream for build for the last 30 years since before medical school. I did not make a log of the the Vanguard as I was afraid to show my mistakes and was afraid of...

While waiting to hear more about Pavel's 1/64 scale San Bartolome, I needed something else to work on, so I decided to start this build of a Victory 32-Pounder. A bit of background: When building my Corel HMS Victory cross section kit, I felt the guns included were not to scale. Especially...

Hi to all and welcome to my first build log. So, in case you are wondering why on earth would I want to choose this as a first build of a wooden ship? Simple answer is because I love large models and this has been on my bucket list for a number of years and a few months ago I got the chance to...

Hi Guys, Firstly before I start this build log I want to say a very big thank you to our member Rsj who has made this build possible by giving me the plans and instructions for the Mantra 1:200 scale HMS Victory that he had built and has done a fantastic job in doing so. Thank you very much...

My new build still using to improve my skills So chose another cheap Chinese kit as always you get what you pay for. Selection of photos as it starts. The material is very flimsy i tried the way the suggested and fitted the ribs to the keel but when trying to fit the deck supports it was prone...

Hello everyone!! I decided to begin my HMS Victory from paper, well actually my first HMS Victory, i want to make two of them eventually since i like very much this ship and i would like to decorate both my house and my father's. So let's begin!! These two photos are from the first dry...

This is my seventh build. I do believe it's above my skill level but for better or worse I'm going to give it a try. I've never done a second planking so this will be interesting. Also, the sheet plans are all in Italian. I've been using the Google translator which works really good. I...

And so it begins: I purchased this kit back in 2014 ( 8 YEARS AGO) for $1,400 Australian. After finishing 4 previous models ( CC Endeavour, Occre Albatros, Amaiti Stage Coach & Occre Stephensons Rocket) I was hooked on wood kits. I had a windfall and invested in the kit. I was keeping it till...

I found this little kit on the Internet and bought it because i was curious about it and i couldn't resist to buy it for only 25 euro. Yesterday it got delivered and i just open it. Can't say it does look bad, and the building plans doesn't look bad at all. But its amazing small with a lot...

Hi, I started building this model way, way back, after a break of about 40 years since the typical adolescent modelling experience. I then parked it for quite a few years as there were more important things calling on my time, but picked it up again proper earlier this year. This coincided with...

Hi all, Finally making a start with H.M.S. Victory from Panart art. 738. This is the first time for me building a wooden model. I will share my findings and challenges along the way. Hope you enjoy the result till now as much as i do. It will be a slow process but that no problem. Hope to get...

Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. I’m Tom based in Manchester, UK. I’ve been modelling since I was teenager. I have started with plastic models of aircrafts as it was quite easy one. Then I moved to paper models – this gave me a chance to really work on the details and creativity. I’ve...
