Victory 1737 - 1:84 scale

[Norway]

Very neat rig work, like the sails. with so much rope it takes a lot of time before you get to the finish, good luck.

Well, as I get dangerously close to the end of this personnal Victory, I post a lot of photos !!

More photos of the set will come later. But for that, must I go into studio photos with lighting, clean background, etc ...


For the moment, it is-almost-end of construction (I still have a lot of windings of rope to put everywhere).
















I pierced the underside of the support, inserted 2 internal threaded rods to have the possibility of fixing from below with 2 nuts if necessary ...

Congratulations on your accomplishment! Tremendous work and masterclass of modeling! She is looking gorgeous! How many hours behind this build? Ok

 

[Ekis]

Thank you so much !
@Jimsky: I really do not know how many hours I spent building this ship ... probably between 1000 and 2000!

What can I say - WOW - or - Great - or - .....

Sometimes I have the feeling to see a contemporary model from a museum - I like the overall appearance very much

Looking forward to see the final studio-photo (report)

Thanx Uwek, this is really one of the best compliments that can be made to a modeler!
For photos, I think the last set of photos above will be final for the moment.
