discussion Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

Received it this afternoon a present from my lovely wife I will start as soon as I finish the tie fighter, going to be a long build

 

[Jim R]

Front and centre please. This will be an epic build.

 

[scottie3158]

I will follow along.

 

[tr1ckey66]

Now that is a great gift. Well done to your good lady wife!
And yes, I will look forward to seeing this come together - plank by plank.
Great stuff, Brian

[Waspie]

I’m in!!

 

[Tworrs]

Me too!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Should be good……

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Yum yum!

 

[Bri62]

Just took it to my model room, I was surprised how heavy it is. (16kg)
I need a few things on top or things I use for plastic models so going shopping today, welcome to all who have got a comfy chair pulled up :smiling3:

 

[Jack L]

16Kg?????????? Wow!

 

[Steve Ski]

I agree, this should be a fun, long build.

 

[Bri62]

Let me know if you want an unboxing (there is a lot) otherwise I won't bother, making a start tomorrow

 

[Guest]

Forget the unboxing... Just worried my eyebrows will not grow long and grey and obscure my vision with the length the build takes....
(There is a review on yt where you get to see the parts)

[Waspie]

Ditto.

 

[Bri62]

Spent a couple of hours getting ready for the start tomorrow.

 

[Jim R]

All neat and ready. I reckon the secret to a long, complex build like this is patience and being well organised.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

All neat and ready. I reckon the secret to a long, complex build like this is patience and being well organised.

yes well, you would ,Jim.....
some of us are not actually capable

 

[Jim R]

some of us are not actually capable

What always puzzles me though Neil, as an OCD tidy and organised modeller, is how others, whose bench looks like a council tip, produce such awesome results. :rolling:

 

[Bri62]

Decided to do a bit added the beading and rabbit line.

 

[Jostro65]

Are there any more of these wives available?
