discussion Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

Progress on the mainmast easier to do after the foremast is completed (the same just a bit bigger).

 

[Bri62]

Bit more done and finished for today

 

[Bri62]

Just to let you all know I'll be off line for a while as my computer gone bang so I'll be replacing my PSU and motherboard

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Brian. Computer going bang sounds expensive!

 

[Bri62]

Cheers Joe I'm back online now and yes I don't want to talk about the cost lol


Anyway progress while I was away

[Neil Merryweather]

Brian this is museum quality.

I beg to differ ,Paul- it's better!

 

[John Race]

Very nice Brian, superb work. Now that's some Pc with a see-through case

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice looking PC Brian, very techno. Victory is continuing to look superb

 

[Bri62]

Cheers guys, made a start on the mizzen mast but not feeling it today so didn't do much (must be having an off day)

 

[Tim Marlow]

Blue at the mizzen eh Brian. Sure the mojo will be back soon though….this is too good to miss.

Best to take a break if you're not in the mood.

Don't know what happened yesterday but I'm fine today and was in the model room early the mizzen mast coming on.

 

[Jim R]

Looking better and better. Those masts are excellent. Now you not only have the length to deal with but also the height.

 

[Bri62]

Now you not only have the length to deal with but also the height.

Jim wondering what do do with it when finished, It's a lot bigger that i first thought.
Was thinking to donate it to somewhere after all the fun was in the building, a display case would cost an arm and a leg

 

[boatman]

BRI why dont you try an sell her an get some money back in model boats mag as i sold some of my big r/c warships for a good sum as remember a lot of collecters cant build them an much rather buy one built an a ship like yours i would think would sell easy no harm in tryin an some money back to put to the next model as there are collecters out there who would pay big bucks for her but thats my opinion as i have done it

[Bri62]

Good idea Chris problem would be shipping it, would have to be collection only
Sorry Chris I won't be buying or making sails
