I have been following the forum for just over a month as a guest due to some technical glitch. Glad to say that it is now sorted and I can post again. I have been keeping myself amused by buying and reading the above book recommended by Tomick. About £11.00 from Amazon For those of you building the Victory who are mainly regarding it as a modelling project and are not into researching the history and detail of the ship, I would strongly recommend that you consider at least buying this book. It provides a pretty good summary of the ship's career both pre-Trafalgar and post the battle. It then goes on to describe the ship and how it functioned on a deck by deck basis. The description is supported by a comprehensive series of photographs commissioned for the book and providing stunning detail. I can only second Tomick's recommendation and suggest you put it in your lists to Santa Claus -- super stocking filler for the kids! What do you mean they can't read yet? -- look at the pictures -- beats Cars2 anyday Mike T
