victory

Hello all, it's time to begin my first build log, of HMS Victory in 1:200 scale. This will be the 3rd sailing vessel I have built, though my previous 2 were Revel Plastic kits of the Cutty Sark and the CSS Alabama, and both were several decades ago while I was in high school. I've been lurking...

Recently JohnB163 had some questions about people's experience with ZHL models (which are quality productions), specifically the H.M.S. Victory. I happen to have the Caldercraft version of the ship in dry dock (storage closet). If I had not gotten it as a gift, I may have picked up ZHL's...

Hello, Ship of Scale friends, After reading around the Ships of Scale forum, I decided to start my own Build Log. I have no experience building such models, so it will be great if you could support me here. My model is H.M.S. Victory wooden ship from Constructo. Size It is a 1 to 94 scale...

Hi there, so I decided to build my own HMS Victory model. I searched for different ones and my eyes stopped on the H.M.S. Victory from Constructo 1:94. It is a big and complex model as I wanted. Honestly, I was surprised to realize that the length of this model is 111 cm. Size It is a 1 to 94...

Time to introduce another of my current builds. This one is a out of the box build. I did have a few false starts namely the width of the yellow bands but here's a few pictures of the current status.

Here is a bit of a retrospective dating back around ten years to when I started this project! I'm hoping for some help and guidance with the string element of the project which is looming ever closer now! I'm not going to bore you with the frame and plank stuff as it all looks pretty similar on...

I thought I would like to share with you guys my very first attempt at doing a wooden model - well any model really. I have been at it for the last three weeks, and am really enjoying it. There have been a few mishaps along the way. I glued the 8th frame in the wrong way round and a few of the...

Hello. I’d like to introduce You the building process of my cardstock (pressboard) HMS Victory. The first thing was to make a ship’s frames. The frames I made from 1 mm cardstock, except the bottom of hull (beneath the waterline), where the frames are 3 mm thick. To increase the thickness I...

This is a copy of build log started back in March this year 2018: decided to build HMS Victory by Mamoli 1:90 scale. Reasons? I wanted to build a model which is a) relatively complex; b)not too large so I can work on it in my condo (moved out of house a few years ago); c) of a beautiful and...

Part 1 This will be a "sort of build" log of my scratch-built model of the Victory starting in 1991 to present. In the pre-digital photography era the few photos I have were shot with a Nikon 35mm camera. I'm not the most disciplined when it comes to shooting progress pictures. I get so excited...
