Hi Ian, thanks for sharing. There is little problem with your second photo. It is completly out of focus. Could you retake it and repost it please? All details of your precision painting are gone becouse of this.

Hi guys I am doing my Victory in the painted version, with copper bottomed hull. i have started with the keel and ribs first as i have loads of issues. I will be doing the Cannon, Anchor and the launch as a evenning project later on. I have made the complete keel section and attached it to a build board. also have made the ribs upto issue 12. The ribs in attached photos are only dry fitted on the keel. ian smith attached the following image(s): Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.

Hi Ian, my that brings back memories,looking great Ian, I felt at this stage it helped to put Balsa Fillets In the Bow and Stern,and later on along the base of the Hull between the ribs, but then you know how I love Balsa    MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Ian, nice to see your build mate, it is looking good. As for rib 15, some of us found it necessary to build up the frame so that it was level with the keel...I used some spare 2mm x 3mm planking soaked in hot water for 20 mins or so then secured the wet planks onto the frame and allowed the planks to dry in place...then sanding it down even with the keel...
Enjoy your build mate...and keep the pictures coming... Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Looking good Ian. Is the cross-member of your Anchor the right way up? I thought the straight edge needs to be at the top?
