Well done, Great looking bit of work there, But that model looks a lot bigger than the victory from de ag at 1 : 84 scale, or is it the bigger caldercraft version.

Very well done Nick. That looks an absolute top job for a first model. You certainly have some expert skills demonstrated with this one. Seeing the picture really makes me want to start my Victory but at the moment SotS and a nearly completed Chines Junk means time is very limited. Kind regards Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Nick,looking good. You aren't by any chance just up the road from a funeral directors are you?If you are we "met" about 18 months ago,I had brought a friend down to Torquay to arrange a funeral & while they were in there I popped in for some cigarrettes & a drink & I seem to remember a lady asking how your ship was.
