Hi Fellow Buiders, Due to the lack of plans, I have been mucking around with some 1:78 scale and I have resized them to 1:84 or near as damn it (297mm mast centers Front To Main) Its been put together on MS Publisher 2003 and prints out over 16 A4 pages with crop marks, Just cut where appropriate and stick together! , Its one mighty big ship when built!!!! I have attached a link for the file (11.7MB) if anyone wants it. http://www.4shared.com/f...urSNl2/victory_184.html
And now Thanks to CMB we have it in PDF Format http://www.4shared.com/d...wem1ho/Victory_PDF.html
I have been told when printing the pdf make sure your 'No Scaling' Box is ticked! Thanks CMB If it doesnt work, Sorry, let me know and I will try another way!!

Excellent work Russ! Good to tell i don't use publisher!!!! When i opened the file i thought 'this isn't full scale'...then i realised that publisher had scaled the image down to 10%!!!  What a noob. This will definately come in handy

At the risk of bringing down damnation upon my head for even mentioning DeAgostini. I'm sure I read something on here about them considering plans in the future; maybe to be supplied as an additional issue at extra cost. I'm sure it was in the melting pot somewhere but in the meantime thanks one and all for an interim solution. ArtfulBodger Previous Build: HMS. Bounty

Nice idea guys, however, I'm gonna wait for the official plans if DeAgostini is still going to issue them? Ship Builds on the go
