This is an excellent and detailed model of a very fine ship. Being a huge fan of this period you inspired me to do this little sketch, in your honour.

Always love your work John.

 

[Bri62]

Wow john that is superb very much appreciated your very talented

 

[Bri62]

Progress for today almost finished the port side will finish tomorrow

 

[Bri62]

Finished the channels both sides, now on to the chainplates which on this kit are individually numbered as there all slightly different lengths. Also the instructions suggest you paint them on the fret after you etch them.

Hi Brain a few pictures of my victory .

 

[Bri62]

Hi Dave, how long have you been building your victory, do you work on it every day?

 

[Davew]

Been about 4/years i try to a bit everyday but I have other projects on the go Dave

 

[Bri62]

I find it difficult to multi-task when it comes to models I'm itching to make a start on my new ship but I know I'll have to finish this first.

 

[Davew]

How long have you been doing yours ,I have still got a lot to do Dave

Aye Chris slow is better than no progress at all had enough for today though, this photo etch makes my head hurt

This is wonderful work. Superbly rendered and absolutely fascinating. The way the small bits gradually add to the impact of the whole ship is an object lesson in detailing. Truly inspiring Bri. Love it
