Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

A most enjoyable catch up Bri. Some incredibly patient work been going on with the planking. I reckon Nelson himself would be proud of the care and attention to detail going on.

Small update getting near to finishing the 2nd planking (3-4 days) then a lot of sanding to get ready for the next step but real life stuff going on at the moment and unfortunately it take precedence. :)

I know the feeling about real life stuff. Apparently my employers are still expecting me to do bits and pieces for them fairly regularly.
 
All looking neat and tidy. Not much more planking to do. Ella is quite the little artist - maybe she'll give you a hand :D :) :D

Finally finished the main planking, still got a bit to do but after the main deck is fitted, so a rest from the hull planks for now.
Next job is fitting the main deck and lining the gun ports which I'm not looking forward to and quite challenging :)

Very nicely done. A lot will be covered in metal plates but a smooth surface to work on.
