I have been thinking about bench surrealism lately. I have a Panzer Bison and some 28mm Napoleonic figures on my bench at the moment. I thought that was crazy. Now I see you have HMS Victory, a space ship and some 1910 firemen! Its a crazy hobby

Stunning work on the Victory. Like it a lot

looking good Ian.
Tell me, what is the detail under the top black band of paint at the bows?

Sorry Neil, I’m not sure what you’re looking at. Do you mean these ?

If so it’s where the rat ropes go.

Been a while since I touched this, but I’ve got it off the shelf of doom. I forgot how much cleaning and filling is needed on all the parts.

Hi Ian
Looks very good. Far too much work done already for it to sit on a shelf.

Sorry I missed this one earlier and now following with interest. These old sailing ships build into superb models.

Good to see it on the go again Ian. Not that long before you get to the fun of the rigging now

Yes the FUN part Tim :cold-sweat: :tongue-out2:

More work on the masts.

This kit has thrown me another curveball, going to do the cannon port doors, and all of them have sink marks on them, not on the inside that’s flat, but on the outside with the hinges on.
