Hi all

I have just purchased a part started HMS Victory, off a well known auction site, complete with all issues (1 to 50 opened, the rest are unopened). on inspection of the hull I wasn't overly impressed with the finish , so I decided to remove all planking and decks, currently in progress, which has thrown up more issues with the frame construction. so it looks like it will be a complete strip down to the original parts as delivered in the issues . Fortunately the glue that's been used hasn't stuck too well so everything is coming apart better than I expected.

Has anybody got any advice on creating new parts if the worst happens and I manage to totally foobar some parts, or has anybody had the same issues with a second hand model?
Any help would be great fully received

On another note some of the builds of this model shown on here are very impressive to say the least

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply.

I never thought about getting the parts laser cut which might be a viable option if somebody on here is able to help as I cant seem to find any of the lower numbered issues on eBay.
If anybody has a copy of the full size scale plans that they could supply that would be really helpful
Regards
David
