Hello shipmates, another day at the shipyard. issue #41:  After unpacking I found THIS: One part was not like it was supposed to be. Took a bit of cutting, gluing and sanding to make it fit.   The bottoms of the gallery sides still have a little gap, couldn't get it closer. Will this be an issue ??? issue #42: The wales I found it quite difficult to attach the wales, because the magazine did not tell precisely where to attach them. So I started with the middle wale and just fixed it with nails (no glue yet) and start shaping it into position. Then I attached the second line of planks below. These where glued and nails. Afterwards I removed the first line and glued it back again. The "swing" of the wale look okay for me. The 1x5 mm planks are extremely brittle and start to frazzle very easy.   To be continiued......

That is a model I've always been looking for, especially in that big scale.
But first I have to get on with this one anyway ;-)

Why not simply buy the donor model the partwork version was spawned from which is far better quality and has a far better content http://www.occre.com/ind...roduct&idproducto=94

Thanks Mr.T, will keep that in mind. Looks pretty similar and the price is okay too. But to be honest, even if it is more expensive, I really like the idea of a patchwork kit like our victory. I presume that they have the more detailed assembly guide (correct me if not) and I truly enjoy it joining a group of people doing the same thing, sharing there builds and helping each other. As this is my first ever wooden ship model, it is a big advantage for me. .. as long as the quality is alright. Timm My build diary hereCurrent Build:HMS Victory

Hi Timm!  Look's GREAT! I'm happy you made the change to the upper deck opening’s at this point, now that is the easy way to do it! just think what it was like to find out after fitting the quarter deck. A 25mm wide opening is just about right for the narrower grates but if you need to open it a little more after the grates are made then that's simple. The wine bottle idea is the best idea yet! I take it you have to drink the bottle first before testing it with a plank to check the shape of it curve just in case the bottle tips over and makes a mess! Great to see you building again Timm!

Love this build, just shows the value of taking your time to get it right “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
