Yeahhhh -)) have a look here
FR : peut-être je me répète, mais il y a trente ans j'ai construit le Norske Love de B.B. (sur ma chaine YouTube). Et si je dois comparer avec le HMS Victory Edition limitée, y a pas photo, ce dernier est une atteinte au sang froid, un condensé de "sado-masochisme" -)) Pas croyable ! Le B.B. est à la portée d'un débutant très attentif et patient (trois hivers) avec apprentissage de la... machine à coudre ! Hé oui, mais pas le Victory ! Non non non ! ! ! Toujours à ta disposition et te souhaite beaucoup de joies, le modélisme c'est aussi cela : prendre du plaisir
Great photos
Very very niece pictures, fantastic work ! ♥
I thank you, I just try to do my best and give love to everybody . Fast, trouble-free browning. The anchors also go there with an addition of acrylic. This rather matte black does not necessarily have to be uniform but should allow nuances to stand out, I find that prettier. I'll show you the model of the Musée de la Marine in Paris, it's up to you to see. Have a nice weekend everyone (and all?) -)) Phil
Started the rigging. Found a brilliant site where someone I presume has photographed rigging instructions from several different kits of the Victory model
See this link
I used the 1:84 scale ones. Got a printer to print copies in A2 which is just the right size to see all the detail. Is is making life a lot easier than just using the OCCre drawings whicg don't really provide enough detail
One problem is of course there drawings interpret rigging differently than the Occre one - ie some of the rigging is attached in very slightly different places on the masts etc. Can get confusing especially as I have the built Caldercraft to refer to!!.
Yes it will end up as a bit of a muddle what with taking instructions from 3 different sources. However it seems to work out OK - just got to decide what is right for my skill level. Also the Alan McGown is a superb reference bible - if there are any discrepancies am taking the book as the guide as to what to do.
Will post some photos of how I m getting on in a few days time
These new instructions/photos are perfect as they to make the task of rigging much easier. In fact dare I say it it makes rigging much less of a daunting task than if I just had to rely on the Occre instructions.
Onwards and upwards............

Agree with you Julian, the information that HISModel has assembled is absolutely fantastic.Started the rigging. Found a brilliant site where someone I presume has photographed rigging instructions from several different kits of the Victory model
