    Did a bit more gum rigging this afternoon, my stuff from Caldercraft arrived too so I fitted the first head timber making sure its all level and square.

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    Decided I hate doing gun rigging just took me 3 hours to do two guns, I think my vision is in need of new glasses. The brass bar on the stern took some shaping too :(

    My bits from Caldercraft won't be with me till early next week due to John in the middle of 10 HMS Victory's so I might as well crack on with the side gallery's.

    Hi while waiting for the stuff to resume the bow section I thought I might as well start the side gallery's painted and lacquered and waiting to dry before I fit the photo etch. The yellow ochre take quite a few coats over the black.

    Nothing lined up Pete going forward it would just get progressively more out of position, I saved all but 4 pieces so not so bad :)
