HMS Victory by Y.T.- Mamoli - 1:90 scale

Hi Uwek, unfortunately I do not get an email per each reply in watched topics. For example I never got email notifications for the latest posts in this topic. This includes Jimsky's post about mesh material I use. This did not just happened now. It always was like this. I think something is not set correctly.
Could you please show or explain what you mean?
Beautiful! and looks more to scale due to the fine mesh.
I prefer gluing versus tying of the knots. This is faster. Knots take for ever. I think that with the scale I work with, it quite allows gluing instead of knotting. Besides, gluing the strings is also not my thing. I prefer working with wood and metal. This is why the further progress of this build is questionable and I rather start a new ship instead of progressing with masts and sails.
Finally I finished all hammock crane nets on the decks. One remaining was on the front off the vessel. There I did iron bars required for the nets. See attached.

YT, I do not think it would detract from your model should you choose not to fully rig her.If you choose this option possibly short stub masts and bowsprit?
I am a bit like you, the attraction is in the hull, not so much the "sticks and strings".
Kind Regards
Nigel
Thanks Nigel. I often am thinking of short stub masts as a finishing touch.
Good Afternoon Y.T. An exquisite Victory. What ever your decision with the rigging this is a really awesome rendition of the HMS Victory. Cheers Grant
Something like this? Note that lower level gunports are not yet done.
Not sure about the angled tops YT, my preference is square on the ends or I have seen them carved on the end to look like breaks.Should imagine this is harder to do than it sounds to look convincing.
Thats truely a superb effort so far YT. Victory is a difficult model to build.

thats superb lovely work
Hi. There are updates. All gun ports and guns are done. Ohhh… This was a tedious task. I was trying to hang the anchors on. As very often with Mamoli, anchors were out of scale and about quarter too small of a proper size. I ordered proper anchors at Cornwall Boats UK.
Here are some pictures.
Some more.
Even more…
Oh. And by the way I bought a saw.
