    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    Decided to use the 3D printed crest rather than the white metal one that came with the kit, It's got far more detail :)

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    My rigging book has proved invaluable as I had no idea where the knights head post went ( no sign of them on the plans) but the rigging book showed exactly where they went :) No privacy in the heads :) no toilet seat either lol

    As I'm fast approaching the rigging and wanting to do a good job at it, I bought myself one of these to go with my book. SM4 series serving (wrapping) machines https://www.shipworkshop.com/product-page/sm4-series-serving-machines-wrapping-machines
