I have been making models for many years and the hobby is often perceived as a male occupation. I happen to know however from the detail packs I have sent out that there are a number of female builders of the victory and so... I would like to challenge all the girls to put up a build diary so we can see how you are doing. my guess is you may have some lovely builds out their that we would all like to share  go on double dare you!!   “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

I read a book when I was a kid about building model clippers...the book was first published in 1927 and the modeller who crafted all the wood and metal parts by hand and constructed some fantastic clipper ships was a young woman in her mid twenties..it was not long after that that I began building plastic models, the first one of which was a Viking long ship...  Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

If the ladies building this model are of typical female ilk - they are probably all still on issue 5 or 6 because everything has to be perfect and in place, and they will make alot of builders including the really experienced guys look like amateurs. So they probably dont want to embarrass Jack and the other guys Current build : The Victory
Pending builds : none - yet
Built loads of bikes trucks planes and boats - all plastic kits.
on wish list - a 1:24 spitfire, in wood, plastic, just as long as I can build it :)
