Hello All,

Here is few pictures of my finished HMS Victory.
Net build time: approx. 2500 hours
Gross build time: 8 years, mainly in 2017-18

Thanks to all who followed my build diary. See link below.
I'll keep posting progress in my diary about the creation of the display cabinet, which is planned to hung from the loft/ceiling and will have a lift mechanism to lower/raise it for cleaning purposes. It will be controlled by an Arduino micro-controller via bluetooth, using a mobile app.

Hi All,

after a long time, finally the display cabinet and the lift mechanism has been completed and today she finished her journey and "landed" in her final position.

Lift mechanism in the loft with full remote control with smartphone:
- Smart plug via wi-fi to turn the power supply on/off.
- Arduino Nano microcontroller via Bluetooth for turning the LED lighting on/off and moving the cabinet up/down for occasional cleaning purposes.
