          I think it is about time you stopped faffing Alan and joined us RC boaty people and make one: Plank on frame...

          She is a beauty, and still holds a majesty and power even though she is outdated.

              Hi Alan, HMS Victory is a magnificent ship, I've been there as well, such an eerie feeling being on board, beautiful workmanship to her, come to think about it, beautiful ship!

              I was based in Pompey in the early 90s, sailed passed her many a times, as well as HMS Warrior... :P

                hard to believe victory is still a commisioned warship within the fleet. we have relatives in gosport and i lost count of the times we used to sneak on board as kids pretending to be with mystery adults in front of us! id never try a model of her though.... the rigging in real life is just mind blowing.

                    I would love to build a plank on frame Victory, but the one I'd want to build is a bit expensive at over £700. Lee I like doing the running rigging, but the ratlines are so boring to do.
