HMS Victory by Caldercraft (10 months in )

Question: How did you lay the deck planks? I mean, what building scheme did you use?

Hi Gunther, Great question I made a bit of a boo boo I used 3 shift rather than 4 shift I only noticed the actual ship used the 4 shift system when I watched a documentary on the Victory. They are 1mm thick maple boards 10, 6.6 and 3.3mm lengths to start a run. hope that explanation is helpful.

Good morning. Very cool cabin walls. Worth the extra spend even though you have to bend over to view in the poop deck. Lovely progress on your Victory. Cheers Grant

Thanks Grant appreciated m8

Hey Brie,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that helped me a lot. Your Victory is really great and I'm sure it will be an amazing model. I'll be glued to your build report!!!

Cheers

Started lining the upper gun deck ports and fitting the inner bulkheads.

Going is slow atm due to the bathroom refurb but managed to get the gun port linings done.
