HMS Victory DeAgostini 1/84 scale

[Guest]

thanks for the kind words just got home so sorry for not relpying sooner,its a good kit to build but im glad i waited until i had all the issues before starting it i just did'nt like the idea of building things out of sequence and then either losing or breaking them later on.Never had any problems with de agostini all the parts were their and the quality of the wood is good but i will say that alot of the hard woods have been replaced which are in the original kit and if you can get the kit in one go, i think the caldercraft kit is a superior model but again expensive.


cheers steve

Hi cryton 5
I am at the stage now of putting on a second walnut planking, once i had done the first planking i the covered the hull with filler and then gave it a good sanding so it was nice and smooth.One thing to be careful of is at the bow with the clinkering effect and faring the bulkheads so the planks curve easily.

Looking good so far. I have just caught up with this build, so I will be watching with interest
