Nigel, thanks for your praise. This is brass trim. It's just that in my country they mostly use copper sheets. Therefore, I consulted with one of our famous modelers (Dmitry Shevelev), who sometimes judges at competitions. He confirmed to me that brass plating is allowed by the rules. I could not find copper plating in the same sheets. Previously, we sold it in model stores, the Amati company, but suddenly something went wrong, and now it is not for sale.
Thankyou for your explanation Sasha.It makes sense that you should not loose marks for choosing brass over copper.I can name a few notable models built from Masters on your side of the world that chose to use brass over copper for aesthetic reasons alone.After all,the ships we model were built of Oak but we chose other timbers for aesthetic reasons and I see no difference.
Shame about the Amati tiles,I assume you mean the photo etch ones.I have five packs for a project and they are a very nice product
Kind Regards
Nigel

She is shaping up to be a winner! Personally, I really like the aesthetics of the brass plates. I would, personally, endeavor to preserve their brightness for effect.
Hello. Thank you all for the likes and comments. It motivates. I have finished laying 12 belts on the starboard side. It turned out 466 sheets. Moved to the left side. Now the model looks like this.
Wow! Fantastic progress in a short amount of time. You have been busy!
Paul, it was me who worked intermittently
Very beautiful brass plate work Sasha! Your ship is going to be absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks Daniel. I hope the customer will be satisfied.
Enjoy your journey! This partially scratch built Victory took me seven years to complete.
Oh thanks. I hope it will take me less than 7 years. Time will tell
Your HMS Victory is looking very good, amybe it would be possible to show your model with a few more photos in this area with a separate topic.
I am pretty sure, that @Donnie would like to add it also to our Completed Models Showcase

Hi Alexander. First of all i wish you a happy birthday 
.
I have read your build log and admire your excellent and rapid work. I have only started my first build and was pleased to see you too used wooden blocks to make the hull firm and more suitable for planking/ sheathing. I will follow your build log attentively.
