victory

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 people! I am opening a new topic for my new project - HMS Victory The scale is 1/100, the company is Heller. Several Years ago, I bought the model from a friend who had started it, but refused to finish The model collected dust on the shelf for a long time, and now his time has come. I...

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...

Hello friends, This will start my new build log of the HMS Victory 1:78. I will be gathering my info, images, etc and post more soon. Thank you RZ Flyer

Hi all, new member to the site so thought i would say hello and introduce myself. Im from Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire & 1st timer to scale modelling. I needed a new hobby during lockdown and thought I would try my hand at Mamoli HMS Victory. I know, I know .. shouldn't start with this kit...

Hi from Beaverton, Oregon. my name is Dick and am not new to modeling. I was in engineering and at that time we modeled pulp factories and computer chip factories in plastic and wood. Long before 3D acad. I’m also very proficient in autocad. So when I visited my relative in Boston I saw he had...

Welcome to my new build log of the HMS Victory. This is a copy of my build log I started on another forum. This journey has a special meaning for me. All my life I wanted to build a ship. Not just any ship, but a highly detailed model, but as with most things life gets in the way. I built...

How I got started in this hobby. A couple of years ago the wife and I went to Boston to visit my sister. While there we went into a gift store in Rhode Island that had all of these beautiful looking wooden model sail boats. I said to myself I would love to build one of these. That Christmas, my...

This deck had the smaller 24 pounder guns, the cooking stove was to make a hot meal for the odd 800 crew! and at the stern was the quarters for the Officers. When going into battle the partitions would be dismantled and stowed away with furniture etc to make more room for the gun crews. Another...
