Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

[Bri62]

Just got a bit of sanding then on to the second planking, I'm going to use impact adhesive as It's more cost effective than CA and less chance of me sticking my fingers to the hull.

Made a start on the second planking using the 5x1 mm walnut the first of many lol

This is going to be a beauty Brian. I don’t envy the planking task ahead though

[Bri62]

Yes Joe, a task for sure but one I'm enjoying

Done for the night and only glued my fingers to the hull on 4 occasions

Looking very good Brian. This is where patience will really pay off in the look of the finished model.

[scottie3158]

Looking very nice mate, really taking shape.

[PaulTRose]

Very impressive

Really starting to come together

[Bri62]

Had an hour or so at the table, progress not very exciting I'm afraid A bit more planking and some gun ports opened up

[flyjoe180]

Looking really good now Brian, with the final planning layers going on

[Bri62]

Just been reading ahead in the build and oh my there are 2500 copper plates to fit (Oh yey) but before that I'll have to finish the planking and at this rate should take me a while.

These things cant be rushed Brian. Just imagine the finished result.
