HMS Victory Cross section by Artesenia Latina - 1/72

[FifeModels]

Hello everyone.

This isn't my first build, but the first one I've posted here. This will be a bit of a photo-dump sorry, future posts will be shorter updates I hope.

I've been meaning to get round to this kit for a long time but was never able to slot it into my other plastic addiction, but I finally got around to it. I dislike video instructions but I'm coping, aside from getting two of the inner ribs back to front, which in turn caused me issues with the templates for the platforms but was easily fixed.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory in the photos.

Thanks

Hi again, small amount of progress. Had some issues with staining the deck, some sort of contamination in patches on a single strip. In the end I just removed it and used a coarse sanding sponge then re-stained it.

Just a small note, it doesn't look "yellow" as it does in the photos, I just can't get my lighting right as it's not an idea environment at the moment.

Great work, amazing model... keep up the good work

Incredibly neat work, and from a kit no less. I have a similar model the wife would like me to build, I will be using your pictures as an example of creating something that has a serious wow-factor. Keep posting please.

Hello all.

Been making some headway on this now.

Starting with the pump house on the next deck, I added some small details to the door such as the hinges and a crude sliding bolt:


And then adding the beams for the deck above:


And finally making a start on that deck, the gun ports were made via a mini frame. Annoyingly the part numbers were etched into the wood where they would be visible, so after assembling and test fitting, I lined them with some 0.5mm veneer:



And then they were fitted and the inner walls planked and painted:



Thanks for looking in,

D

Another one that has been on the list for a long time. You are doing a very nice job ... very neat and tidy indeed.

Very accurate and exact work - you are on a very good way with this model
