Hms Victory by Caldercraft

Bit of quarterdeck work...i was getting tired of some nitpicking really trivial criticism then discovered I could ignore the member and not see their posts...LOL Great facility. I welcome suggestiions on how to do things better but every build is, in the end, an individual kit bash not a graduate paper in historical accuracy. That said I do try to get the history right if I can..eg..i have painted Admiral Paints 45% Yellow Ochre mixed with 55% Flat White, and the area commonly black wasn't really and I have used charcoal...( It is Vallejo Dark Grey) it looks good but to be honest I think I should have either gone a shade darker or mixed in a bit of dull black...but it is done. Mixing in a splash of Admiralty Dull Black would have been the right option.

Incidentally it is not at all important but there is, I believe, an error in the plans which show poop deck support 38 positioned behind bulkhead (17 ?) or what ever..it clearly needs to be in front. Ans as you csan see I have followed the plans, the instructions, and the history with mitred corners.
