No current pictures of bow, stern or keel. Been working on gun ports.
Thank you for the prompt turnaround! Yes... no doubt, I love your Victory (Everywhere!!!!)
It is good to see, that it is not only in my workshop looking like....
Finally made, painted, and installed gun ports on both the port and starboard side of the Victory to include the stern.
Jimsky.... you asked for some bow and stern shots, so here you are. Next on the agenda is making and installing the rudder.
... and thank you to all those who have given me motivation to continue the build with all of the positive comments although suggestions are always appreciated.

I think you doing a great job on your Victory, and inspiration for many of us who follow and build such great history Ship. Don't stop and keep the pictures coming, they are great!
Productive day. Finished dual parbuckles and single parbuckles on port and starboard side. Completed sea doors and gangways on both sides. Started to build cannons.

I have to make sails for kits as well, any tips or techniques to share from the 4 sets you have learned. On one of my kits in storage, it came with premade sails a local builders wife made and he sold them to me.
Well the Vic is sitting it out for a little while while I catch up making cannons and the blocks for each of the cannons.
I have found a very helpful You Tube video that has helped me with mating hooks on blocks for securing each of the cannons.

Moving right along. Grate material arrived today in the mail so finished making my last grate..... just haven't glued them in place yet to be sure I don't crowd other things that need to be made yet like the bell housing.
Just WOW! Great job!
Moving right along working on the waist frame, ladders, stanchion, and main banister

Very nice work, love the columns below the deckbeams.
good going, victory builds seem to be alot of fun.
Worked on the stern, installed the hammock-netting on two of the smaller banisters, quarter deck gallery, and a couple of the fife rails. I even was able to start one of the lifeboats.

Haven't been able to work on the Vic lately. Having to remove old decking off of my 36 x 50 foot backyard deck and replacing it with composite decking. I thought working on the Vic took a lot of time. The last couple of rainy days has allowed me to work on one of the lifeboats.

Was wood from old deck salvageable for future scratch builds. It should be well weathered!
The lumber I'm removing is 16 y/o green treated lumber, not construction grade lumber.
