discussion Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

Called it here for today, had a couple of hours and seem to be getting somewhere. She is getting bigger and wondering how I'm going to move it!

 

[Bri62]

The rigging is proving a lot more fiddly than expected but I'm cracking on. No pics as it will be the same-ole same-ole.

The lifts and braces need some careful threading through the rest of the rigging and some tidy tying down to the pin racks, but seeing what you have done so far I have no doubt that you will make a great job of it. The end is almost in sight.

Had a couple of hours this morning and managed to get a fair bit done ( Guy, Guy pendants, Jibboon Guy, spiritsail Topsail Lift) even though it doesn't look like I feel like i'm getting towards the finish post and maybe a couple more weeks? I really don't know

Hi guys I'm a bit confused if you look at the plans here Part 682 rigging trucks



three are required for the stbd side and I imagine the same for the port but.....



the parts list says 5 included....... confused

HI Bri well ive whatched this build from GO an you say you dont know what to do with it this is just my opinion but after all the hard work you have put on this wonderfull model PLEASE PLEASE KEEP HER i would think you can put up a shelf to stand it on as if it goes to someone else they wont bother about breaking bits off an an it deseverd to be looked after as its such a wonderfull model as when i sold my big hms edinbourh type 42 destroyer in 1/72 scale which was also a wonderfull model fully r/c to a chap in newcastle he messed it all up tryin to make it even better but he dint know what he was doin an made a right mess of it an i know what he did as my boaty mate bought it off him an its in his livin room now at norwich an the eletric have all been buggered up an it a right mess as my boaty mate has ask me to have a go at sorting out the eletrics but i wanted to strip out all the eletrics an rewire it but my mate says no so up to him an i should hate to see your wonderfull ship get ill treated

The only problem I have with keeping her is DUST and to put her under glass would cost a fortune......I'll have a think !

 

[Bri62]

Rigged it without the trucks and if they NEED fitting later I'll sort something out but I don't want it to stall the build.

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

I think what I'd do with a museum -quality ship like this would be......to stick it in a museum.
It really is a beautiful model.
