Many years ago I like to build a ship landmark UK first ironclad.Witness the glory of the Victorian era, the ship under an epoch-making ship I think only the HMS Dreadnought.Very lucky with the help of friends I bought this suite.
The ship's size larger than I expected, I took out my 1/96 LA Salamandre contrast.
There is no doubt that this is a big adjustment,

I pass this ship most days on my way to work, I didn't know there was a kit of the Warrior, so I will follow your build with interest. If you get bored or need a break, look up the Portsmouth Harbour Live Webcam, it's actually mounted on the mast of Warrior
I am very happy to see your new project - and a very interesting project in addition
I will follow with big interest
I will follow with big interest
Very enviable every day can see the ship, I very want to go to Portsmouth
Another project I will send a later in the specialized production
The ship is a little let me hard to accept, unexpectedly has no gun deck, nor the lower gun,
I can make your own gun deck, and artillery base, let a person feel gratified that may suite designers have given this situation, there is no one the muzzle is set on the frame, so it can be easier to finish the work
Does I understand it correctly:
In the kit are no guns or muzzles included?
OK, the lids on the main gundeck can be closed
but the Warrior had (and has) also on the free decks some "normal" guns
and at the bow the big 110 pdrs
These visible guns should be there ........
ONE question? How old is this KIT? Years ago- when I started .you bought the kit but all fittings were apart. had to be bought separately
this ship I do not know this this, but it looks very much like the Danish warship -with an engine too -JUTLAND,. Today a museum ship in Aebeltoft -Denmark. As far I remember it had (has) only one chimney. It was in the product range of Billing, but out of sales for the moment.
Hi there Your build build log of Warrior is more instructional than mine which I posted on Utube. Well done for taking the time to give others guidance.
The Jylland was a much smaller wooden steam fregatte compared to the iron hull Warrior.
Also the Billing boat kit version in scale 1:100 was looking completely different and is "only" 1,01 meter long
also the bulkhead - structure was completly different
Here one found photo of the content of the Warrior kit
So the kit is definitely the Warrior, in same scale 1:100, but 1,47 meter long
I found the page from Model Expo offering the Warrior showing guns as part of the kit
If they are missing ion your kit you should get into conatct with Billing Boats

Thanks, Uwe, as I do not know anything about Warrier. what could my attention is that both ships apart from the sail had an engine board? to restore Julland ha taken a lot of years, mainly a lake of money, but not a model of my interest. when I entered the Navy in 1965 she was in the port of Copenhagen used as a sleeping quarter, mostly for U-Boats crew.
Thank you for your remind may be translation problems my original intention is not main deck gun in the suite, not even the main deck. I can't accept closed doors, so to oneself
I have already solved the problem yourself to make the main deck and the artillery base assembly, from I bought dozens of a suite of businessmen friends there cannon spent $34
Now I start to fill and the progress of the grinding, and once again, my cat take great interest in this model
