hi all, sorry if this has already been addressed, but i have the admiralty victory paint set and im a bit concerned about the yellow ocre colour, it seems very brown like a kinder french mustard brown rather than yellow im not sure if this is accurate, has anyone else used this colour for victory, i have already painted the launch and it looks fine but i dont want to go further if its not correct. thanks

The colour is correct as it’s termed as yellow ochre and not meant to be bright yellow as shown in the magazine images.

Since there is a post on colour I'm joining for a question. Can anybody tell by the picture which colour for staining (right word? not a native speaker and lots of choices on google for that) they used on the cross section and for the hull (the part which will be under water)?

 The Victory was copper plated below the waterline so she didn't collect barnacles and ship worm on the hull  You can get the copper tiles from Deag to stick to the hull Hope this helps Martyn Building ?

Thanks, but I want the same staining like these also for the deck planking.
I bought walnut stain, but it seems too dark...

Hi there Lord! I would think by the shade or colour of the stain it was probably "Light Oak" Robin. First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

The final finish you achieve would also be determined by the type of wood that is used to plank the hull and the decks. Only way to be sure you get the finish you are happy with is to obtain a selection of stains you like the look of and stain some of the same planking strips as tests, settling on the finish you like the best. The colour of the lower hull looks more like Sapele to me with a heavy coating of clear varnish.....
