Ahoi everyone, as usual, progress is slow as time is sparse. But I managed to work a little more on the gallery. I wasn't happy with the share shaped design of the doors leading to the loos. As I only had done two out of six so far, it didn't't bother me too much having to do them again. Now at least they look a bit more than the ones on the Victory with a more rounded shape on the top. I also got rid of the 'frame' design to the left and right of the door, which was a pain to do in the first place. With this simplified design, I saved myself some frustration and time.

Now for the upper two levels of the gallery I printed the checkered pattern on photo paper and simply glued it on the upper gun deck planking, which I extended all the way to the end of the gallery. After, I build the partition wall from scrap wood (as there's plenty). For the upper level I bought a 0.8mm basswood sheet and reinforced it with 1x3mm planks glued on top.

the idea is that the cables will sit in a cavity between the ceiling and the planking for the poop deck... Odo attached the following image(s):

Hi Odo,
I have been following your build since you started and it is amazing what you have achieved.
Looking back at some of the earlier pics I noticed the high quality of the hull sanding and in particular, the gunport inserts. I know how painstaking these little details are and I wish I had your skills.
Keep it coming sir. This is a real lesson in how to do things for modellers of all standards.
Chris

Hello again folks, First up, different username, BUT IT'S STILL ME! So if you see Odo80 posting it's not a hijacked thread but a continuation of my old thread under a new name. I had some trouble with my old account but with big help of Mark, I finally got back in  Secondly, sorry, it's been a while. As usual, life has gotten in the way and I haven't been able to take my Victory of the shelf for the past year  Trouble is, you forget where you left off, what you wanted to do next and especially with some of my custom modifications, which where more of an afterthought rather than properly planned ahead, how you wanted to do it  My plan is now, to make some time again, even if it's just a couple of hours here and there, but at least more regularly. I'll keep you posted, literally

I'll be keep using my thread more or less as a step-by-step diary. So some might feel it's a bit too much but at the end it helps me to remember how I did things and sometimes what my thought processes where. Best case, others might take inspiration as I did from fellow modellers too. To get back into the build, I'll focus on finishing the gallery as it feels like it had held me back a little. That means, finishing the furnishing of the gallery decks next, so that I can close it of and eventually move on from there. Odo80 attached the following image(s):

After hours of hell going through converting, resizing and uploading various formats, I finally figured that I had to safe my .jpeg picture file as .jpg to make them appear on my thread so here are my last gallery furnishings... maybe not quite to scale tho... Odo80 attached the following image(s):
