Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
- Thread starter Bri62
- Start date
Awesome.
Cheers guys, should be able to crack on now
A bit more progress
Gun port linings done both sides done, having a read through the destructions and from what I can gather mast holes to be opened up to align the masts correctly then 3 whales either side next.
The whales are proving tricky with getting the cut outs just so.
A bit more progress although it's slow going and fiddley.
Quality work like this will always be slow and fiddly but worth it.
Bit more of the same
Looking at the paint the Victory is no longer yellow ochre more of a pink salmon colour, actually the colour given to me by the powers that be is Tamiya flat flesh just wondering what you guys think ?? new colour? old colour?
I must admit I prefer the yellow that's what i think she looks right in.
John, Paul I tend to agree thanks for your input
Coming along nicely Brian, very good work. I also think yellow for the trim.
Fantastic job getting this far in the build Brian. I have a Constitution in plastic and even that has stalled for the moment so I always admire those who attempt building ships in wood.
We have always seen her in yellow trimming and have accustomed to it but what was her real colours during Trafalgar?
Cheer,
Wabble

Her colours during Trafalgar according to the latest info was the flesh/pink, interestingly Nelson hated the colour apparently.
