Hello Bribi

Welcome and don't worry about the spelling Just blame the keyboard as they never type or spell correctly anyway

 

[Guest]

Hi,

What are you asking for help for exactly?

 

[Guest]

im gitting redy to bild the hms vicktory and i nead to know were to find some good stufe on riging and sails

 

[Guest]

Hi Bribri and a warm welcome to the forum. I think you need to tell us a bit more about what you are doing so that we can help.

Are you making a kit, and if so which one, or are you scratchbuilding? What scale is the model? and will it be wood or plastic construction?

You can actually purchase exceptionally good rigging plans from the HMS Victory shop in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard but I don't know if they do mail order. Where abouts in the world are you?

I hope we can be of some assistance to you but the Victory is a pretty major project in any scale or medium!

[Guest]

So do you have a set of plans for it? If so which ones are they and if not how are you constructing the model?

 

[Guest]

ya i have all the plans but the riging is a little vage i have a pick :nospamf the kite in the gallery

I would have a good look around these sites:

HMS-Victory - Home

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

and possibly send an e-mail to the shops. They used to do a superb set of drawings for the Victory which included a rigging diagram which they may be able to send to you. if you get nowhere let me know as I have a set somewhere in the attic and, if they are no longer produced, I could get copied.

 

[Guest]
