Ships are all 1/200 scale

Very collection and beautifully displayed.

Great to see the binnacle with tie downs like the actual ships.

Started the beakhead It was actually quite difficult to understand the instructions/plans but I think I got it right ?

 

[AllanKP69]

I had not seen knees on the forecastle at the beakhead bulkhead area before or knees anywhere resting on top of deck planking. Was this unique to Victory?
Model of a 100 gun circa 1800 from RMG

No Idea tbh they hold cannon balls (yet to put them on) if that's what they are?

Got it, that makes sense. Thank you very much

Did a bit this morning finally getting some colour on the ship

 

[Bri62]

More progress did an hour this afternoon

 

[Bri62]

After making a start on the front of the ship I decided to go with a couple of after market kits although not cheap (£200) I think the model warrants it as they are far superior in detail and not hidden like the admirals quarters. So on to the poop deck

 

[Bri62]

Did a fair bit today and happy with the result

 

[GrantTyler]

Beautiful- kudos. Cheers Grant

 

[Bri62]

More progress, not looking forward to the hatch cover P/E windows

 

[Bri62]

Done some glazing with crystal clear, hoping it turn out ok

 

[Bri62]

Poop deck more or less finished would like to put some coloured material/flags in the lockers but they are very small.
