Nice work Cuan, the window frames do look tricky, more difficult than the partworks version anyway, your build is looking very good though and look forward to seeing more. Steve

Thank you guys. As I said, I have made plenty mistakes. I am not happy with the window frames The original constructo kit had this gastly blue backround for the windows which i couldnt stand and looked completely "false" so i decided not to use it and keep the windows black. I guess I will be using a small file to get the window frames to "meet" better with eachother. There are a few sports on the planing where there is a wee hole or gap, but Ishould be able to patch those easily enough. Current Build:

Its been awhile since I last posted on the HMS Victory Build. I have been busy with my SOTS build so after getting to issue 63 of that, I have put it aside and started again on the Victory. They are 2 very different builds as the victory is from COnstructo - limited instructions, limited pictures and very bad English. Anyhow, I seem to be fighting through the build. Most of the last3 weeks has been building the front of the ship, rails etc. File Attachment(s): cuandv attached the following image(s): Current Build:
