If you did opt for the Victory model as well as all the good info on here that Mattyn has already mentioned you might also like to know that there is a youtube site with a cap on there anout to start the Deagostini Victory.
He says he has always wanted to build a wooden ship but has never done one so maybe this would be of interest/help to you in following along.
The site is "World of Wayne" and he is in Portsmouth this weekend getting some inspiration visiting the real thing.
If you are interested he mentions his up coming build in his thursday live broadcast which is linked below.
Whatever you decide to build i hope it goes well for you and you get pkenty of enjoyment from it.
