Build Log. HMS VICTORY ANATOMY by Artesania

[Humble Ship Builder]

Since I retired end of 2018 I have built Soleil Royal by DeAgostini, Amerigo Vespucci by Panart, The Flying Dutchman by OcCre and HMS Victory Shipyard by OcCre. During the HMS victory I decided to build 2 additional HMS Victory kits. I plan to build the Caldercraft last but for now I am starting the Artesania HMS Victory Anatomy with light kit and figurines.

I decided to do this build log as I am about 1 month into the build and realized if others are going to build this kit I might be able to alert them to things that can be problematic.
Putting the frame together was pretty straight forward. In the instructions it call for sanding of the hull to be done much later. I decided to sand the majority of the hull especially as it relates to the open hull side.

Beautiful work!

The hood floor is coming along pretty good here. Note of caution. Make sure the inner ribs are perfect or you’ll have issues with the upcoming Orlop deck. They provide a template for the fitting of the middle of the ribs at the floor level but the upper tips are as or more important than the floor. If I had to do it over I would make 3 templates. One for the floor that comes with the kit and 2 additional for each of the sides.

It’s a great privilege to learn about the detailed production process of this model kit. I’ve been considering whether I can complete the model assembly independently, so thank you very much for your sharing.

Looking forward to watching your build to see how this comes out.
