HMS Victory Constructo

[Tintin&Snowy]

Hey everyone! I have joined this forum before but have not been active on this platform. Happy to be back to learn and share. For interest, I have completed the Meta (Billings), Bluenose 2 (Billings), and Cutty Sark (Constructo 1:117). Currently building HMS Victory (Constructo), and lying in waiting are De Agostini Sovereign of the Seas, Tamiya Tirpitz, Cutty Sark in 1:75 scale, and the Charles Morgen whaler (Artesania).

Thanks guys,. I will gladly upload some photos. At this stage I want to also say that I made many mistakes, but I also developed some cool ideas after actually visiting HMS Victory at Portsmouth and Cutty Sark in Greenwhich. Some ideas for adding to the kit worked well, others not so because of the scale. Here are some pics of the Cutty Sark - I left all the sails as the scale was way to small and I wanted the intricate rigging more visible. My next aim is to build her in 1:75 scale and avoid the mistakes I made. Some pics of Blue Nose 2 included.

This is wherre I stand with her. Additions made: the cabinet in front of the quarterdeck and ship's wheel and the ropes on the stanchions at the main deck and quaterdeck stairs.
