Jotika HMS Victory

[Stuart Little]

Having finished my Le Superbe in November, I'm now on my Victory build. Just finished first planking, & I am very pleased with my self for the way it turned out. It needed very little filler, just about what 2 beer bottle tops contained (my mixing pots).

Bravo Stuart. I agree it looks like a top notch planking job especially at the stern. Very nice tapering.
Looking forward to second layer.
Will you be coppering and painting?

Thank you, yes, I'll be painting & coppering - eventually! Doing the stern galleries at present, but it looks as if a bit more sanding is required where planking & ply meet, in a couple of places it's a little too sharp.

Pulling up a chair as well. I always feel like a major milestone is accomplished when planking is done.

Great start! We'll be waiting for the continuation! Always happy to watch my model being built))
