discussion Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

Excellent progress and looks very neatly done too. You're doing it quickly as well but I bet that things will slow down as you get to the more fiddly and intricate stages.

Yes Jim things will certainly slow down dreading the rigging lol

Brian,
Looking really good mate.

" mourn England mourn and complain,For the brave Lord Nelsons men,Who died upon on the main!!". Its lines from a Steeleye span song "The Victory".
Excellent Brian.Really nice.
Richard.

Excellent work Brian, it's really coming along now

 

[Bri62]

Afternoon chaps did a bit more, bloody hell this is slow going having to wait after every step while the glue dries but I knew this was going to be a long build

 

[Jim R]

Looking good. Why do they use different woods? Will the model be stained or painted?

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

First planking looks excellent Brian.
Do you have C Nepean Longridge's book-The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships? Full of detail re.Victory including rigging diagrams,deck plans and all the smaller details.
Jon.

 

[Bri62]

No Idea Jim its all painted

 

[Bri62]

No books as yet looking at getting some for the more detailed stuff later on
