Hi Terence, I have the same partworks War at Seas DelPrado Magazines and parts. I checked the parts and I have a problem about the cannons supports, cannons and the carriages. Can you tell me how many cannons are visible on the Victory?

The cannons are a little different . supports are visible on the deck rest of the cannons are glued supports on there own as shown in following photos how many its up to you mine is about 100 I buy a lot of parts glue thread etc from AIiExpress very cheap not to bad quality have a look terence

This build is sort of like DeAgostini-light. The instructions look easy to follow.

At the moment I am building the HMBark Endeavour and I hope that I will start building the Victory end of this year. That is why I am checking all the parts for the Victory.

Good morning Terrance. Yes they are a pain in the butt. I think on my Victory I made over 4000 clove hitches.

. Slowly catch the monkey, but once they are done it looks awesome. Cheers Grant

Hi Terence, I am not going to paint the hull and go to double planking. But first I have to remove some gunports and fixed them correctly in place.

hello Terence im Tony looks like we are building the same ship del prado victory, I've been at it since May 21 with a six month break I've now started again from May this year. Ive built all the yards and bowsprit but not attached them yet. Im about to start rigging on page 17A but struggling as instructions are so vague. Hope it's OK to talk. Thanks Tony.

JoeF · Jul 11, 2023
