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

[Y.T.]

This is just first trial. I will do them more looking like true ones later.

These seem to be even better. I still was thinking I could use kit cast handrails which are most rear of stern. My wife looked at them and said no - these don’t match with work I had done so far.

Correct decision - looking much better

To my opinion this mamoli victory is one of the best victory kits. It is lagging al the laser etsched brass replacements for the galeries you see in modern kits. This is much more beatiful and detailed, great work.

Hi Maarten, the stern details I show have nothing to do with Mamoli kit. I scratch built all stern. Handrail detail is coming.

 

[Y.T.]

As far as all laser etched parts supplied in modern kits go, they don’t look much real due to their two dimensional nature. I would not like using them in my builds. This is only my personal opinion of course.

That is exactly what I mean, laser etshing is perfect for some parts but most of the modern kits are supplied with laser etsching for parts where it is not suitable for but being a cheap replacement.

Painted top stern decoration and carved these two fellows as ones provided by Mamoli look very unprofessional.

Here is an update.

I would not be able to do any of this work without these magnifier glasses.

Very familiar.

VICTORY letters

This is what was provided in the kit. Look at the item quality. No wonder Mamoli is closed. At least they were stopped selling crap to customers.

Continue struggling with pseudo handrails.

Mamoli closed due to the fact their factory burned down. Don't know if it was an unsatisfied customer.(-:

Great improvement with the letters.
