I am going to be starting this diary to support the renovation of this model which I built about 10 years ago. My skills then were not as honed as they are now and looking at it now compared to the Victory,s being built on the forum it looks crap. So it is a renovation begging for it and I have nothing else to do now anyway. All comments (and dont hold backLaugh ) will be greatly appreciated. Pictures as follows

Afraid you are not allowed to have two usernames as it is in breach of forum rules.

So it is goodbye to to Harty and take this as a formal warning

It seams a shame to start dismantling one of your very first creations however, with the evidence of your skills shown so far I think you will create something really special..... Look forward to following this project..... Good luck to you......

Regards

Alan

Well here goes, started stripping her and I am breaking a lot of little parts. I am not that worried about this as they can be remade but on closer inspection of the hull ,it is worse than I thought. We could be in for a replank. I reckon I made the fundamentle mistake and did not champfer the ribsMad . I got gaping holes where they should not be.Angry .

This model is by the way the Mantua 1/98 scale Victory. No etch or white metal ornamentation. Basically it was a box of wood. Any plans or help with this one especially the gunports would be very gratefully receivedBigGrin
