Terence here .my 1st build log ,started building the victory some 5 years ago then moved into a retirement village everything stopped to much to do here so modelling stopped. Then the pandemic hit us everything closed down luckily our grandson wanted the black pearl which I finally finished...

I am starting a new project. The same customer provided me with a job again. This will be the VICTORI model by Deagostini magazines. The project is long-term, therefore, for a long time. I will try to make a decent model out of it. So, let's begin.

Hi friends hope everyone is well and has been vaccinated. Now I am waiting for the heat wave to retreat to a more normal temperature. After my construction of Halcon and Harvey, I was inspired to continue with another project. "HMS Victory" I ordered a kit from China (Aliexpress) for under $ 30...

Yes, it was a hell of a ride through model makers universe that I was taken through out the last years. Right from the humble beginnings straight forward obb down to the heavy seas to the Arsenal Exhibition in Rochefort, as mentioned by Uwek in another thread. Yes this build started to have a...

Looking for a little help from anyone who has used Shape Ways for detail parts... I ordered these side galleries balusters in 1/100 scale but they are too small. The designer has yet to help with how to go about getting some that are more to scale of the model. Don't get me wrong they did...

I joined a little while back but never posted. Thought I would share my build. This is my first ever. Still a huge work in progress. Enjoy! Please feel free to comment or offer ideas!

Hi everyone back in december of 2020 I decided to have a go at building a model ship. I have never built a model before and I don't know why I decided on this fools erand. I thought buy the kit stick the bits together, job done. I looked in the box and at the drawings and wondered where all...

This will be my first build log. My name is Dave Myers I am a 64-year-old Elevator Mechanic in the Philadelphia area. This is my second ship model, my first build was a solid hull construction of the USS Constitution. I started this build about 20 years ago. It was in storage for most of the...

With this post I am opening my build log of the HMS Victory. On the first picture you can see a cardboard box on the top of the bookshelf, the hull that I started years ago its there waiting to be revived. I am starting from step 0. Which is to study the plans. The Endeavor I made, I did it at...

I confess I know nothing about this part work at a guess it looks like to be around about 1/96 scale but don't quote me. Since I have it delivered I haven't had a proper chance to delve in and see what I have here's a few pictures of what I have to sort out

Hello all I've finally summoned the courage to do a build log, partly to get me motivated but mostly for help and advise there is so much quality work done on this forum that it was also putting me off but when you think about it who better to ask. This is the first time I've built a ship and...

Hello again, a few days ago I introduced myself, now the first thing I would like to do is to introduce a friend‘s model. His name is Manfred and i met him for the first time in 2018 at the fair in Friedrichshafen (Faszination Modellbau = the fascination of model making) at Lake Constance. The...

I purchased my AL kit of HMS Victory early in 2019 off of eBay. I paid $600 for it (which is about the average cost that I see). Overall, I am happy with the kit. I really like the beauty in the different variety of woods. My initial intention was to paint the entire model the battle colors at...

How I got into this hobby. Way back several years ago, during my college years, that summer, I got bored from doing nothing. Then I remembered something. There's a book of my uncle containing handmade crafts, including "How to make ship in a Bottle" that got my interest before, but I quit...

On this deck were the smallest 12 pounder short guns, clever how they worked out the weights and balance. At the rear was the Admirals cabins, where Nelson made his plans of attack at Trafalgar. To think all these partitions, furniture etc would have to be stowed away for a major battle. Please...

Made a start with a cradle

G’day Viewers, This is not exactly a build blog more a where I got to before stopping work around 1995. There are a few reasons I stopped working on this model. One main reason, being very disappointed with the way some of my shrouds turned out mainly the first shroud on each lower mast and...

Hello Everyone, It has been over a year since I've retired from the military and I finally find myself at liberty to follow my dream, construction of a cross section of the HMS Victory. I must confess that the liberty I am currently enjoying is a break from the my wife's "Honey-Do" list so I...
