Hello everyone!

This is gonna be my first post here. I'm working on 3 distinct builds right now and the HMS Victory is one of them. I'll try posting my advancements but bear with me, my AuDHD sometimes makes it hard for me to post things or anwser. I'll do my best

Hello K,
A warm welcome to our forum.
So far I'm impressed and can't wait to see more.
Welcome! Looks great so far!

Thank you!

I've some experience, but it's hard for me to complete a build, not because I lost interest, but because another one takes it ;)

I think I'm working 5 kits in different stages of completion rigth now. This one feels different because of all the things going on while building the interior. There is so much to do that it keep my interest up on this kit (or maybe it's that I dont like just planking hulls and decks).
 
Things are going great. Locked in place the remaining walls. Decided to finish the barrels. Linseed oil for the big ones and a darker stain for the small ones. Put the weights on the bottom and prepare all the columns.

Beginning to fill the hull.

Everything's ready. I'm just bad at making things permanent. That and my task paralysis
