Ok when happy with that we draw round the profile to make the other side and go through the process again, when done we simply mark out for the points on the lower side and cut them out with the dremel willz attached the following image(s):

Now its just a matter of cutting it down to the final shape, cut it near with a coping saw and then again used a dremel in the spindle attachment, and lastly files. You can see the pic with it against the stern and how much over scale it is in girth, the reasoning in this is I can slowly file away till the scale is right, but if you initially cut it too small its bin time willz attached the following image(s):

So after at first wondering how to make this piece it wasn't as bad as I thought, it does look as though it would hold many problems in the making, and although it is very time consuming and care is needed not to break it, its not really that difficult willz attached the following image(s):

cheers lads for all the comments
My 1/72 scratch victory is going to have full cannons on every deck and although they will not be as detailed as the ones in plain sight you will still be able to see the full cannon and right through the gun port to the other side. I am at present working on ways of fixing the full cannons down in the lower decks, (the biggest problem with this method) I have tried and tested a few ways and finally decided on the one to use.
With internal lights being more and more popular these days this method will allow the modeller to do fully detailed decks with full cannons without any problems, I will have photo`s and explanations later this week

Not done anything this week, busy with stuff thats not important, like work and that.
Noticed the crew supplied for the Victory have had a better paint job, just a tip on the crew (if its not already been mentioned) if you cut off one of the pins on their feet it will be so much easier to fix them, only one hole so no chance of getting the gap wrong and revealing a part of a hole by their foot, also can twist to suited position. Cheers Willz

So decided to put into practice an idea I've had for a while, and for a change this one works, so heres the tutorial on how to make a depth gauge for a razor saw. The material I used was 1.5 mm plywood. First I cut a piece 75 mm by 30 mm then I cut through it diagonally long ways willz attached the following image(s):

Then I stuck the top one to the top of the saw using double sided tape, I applied double sided tape to the bottom piece of ply and then dabbed most of the sticky away till its just tacky, we dont want the bottom one to stick to the saw blade, we just want to stop it moving. willz attached the following image(s):

Next we mark up the depths on the ply, I simply did this by putting the bottom ply level with the teeth the equals zero, some 1 mm material on the gauge with the saw teeth level equals 1 e.t.c. As you can see I've only gone to 2 mm depth.

For a demo I set the saw gauge at 0.3 of a mm held it in place with a plastic clamp, and then cut slots into some 0.7mm boxwood. You can cut to depths of incredible accuracy willz attached the following image(s):

You can put the gauge on either side of the blade. I`m right handed so mines on the right, thats so I can see the blade on my work, (pencil lines).
