HMS Victory 1/180th scale Airfix kit
Got this little beauty for my birthday a few days ago and have started construction. I've created a Picasa album with images rather than posting them all here and on other forums I frequent. https://picasaweb.google.com/tarjaks...eat=directlink

Hmm...I don't recall seeing sails draped over the ship in that fashion.

LOL, I'm sure they didn't use clothes pegs to hold sections of the keel together either.

Is there also a bit you can paint on the deck where Nelson fell?

My Texas-bred mom used to annoy me every time I finished a model. I'd show it to her and she would say the same thing every time: "That's a cute li'l feller."
I've read that when going into battle they painted the decks red to hide the blood of the dozens who would be killed. Could be a myth, though.

Thanks mate. Long way to go yet and I've still not gotten to the really fiddly bits with the rigging yet. |
