lol yeah been tempted a few times but she is still in one piece
Yes Paul me too, I think
Looking great Brian.Certainly a labour of love indeed
Needing a little help having never built a wooden man o war I am having difficulties marking the waterline, at mid ships it run just a tad lower than the lower whale but every time a run a line fwd and aft it just looks wrong any helpful ideas most welcome.

Coming on a treat. Good luck with the copper plates. I only built the cross section kit and that was enough! Can't help with your waterline query - sorry.
It's ok Jim I have got a cheap laser line which will do the job,,,,,, first class build nice and tidy on your Victory btw
8 down only 2492 to go
Hmmm going to take a while and while I say I'm enjoying it I got a feeling it's going to get monotonous real quick
Interesting progress Brian, goodluck!
Brian, rather you than me mate, but it will be spectacular when it's done.
End of day one at this rate a couple of weeks I reckon but no rush

bit more progress
Looking fantastic Brian. While it may be time consuming to fit the copper plates, they are already looking very nice indeed. The finished product will reflect the time you are putting into this beauty.
