Painting of the parts for the side of the bow

Footski · « **Reply #106 on:** February 02, 2025, 06:54:31 am »

That bow section and cutwaters are the most complex part of the build. I remember doing mine and my father reckoned they were too heavy, so after weeks of work, I cut it all off and started again. I have to say, it was well worth the effort though.

Many thanks Footski for your help I can't post any photos just yet my Mac and USB are playing around will work on it.

More photo's on the build up of the bow the job I done took me well over 2 hours to work out where the parts go so looking at the plan, more cups of tea I worked it out
and placed the two parts, as I have said many times I will not rush doing the ship at all have really enjoyed the build and its always testing me.

Victory's bow section and cutwaters are beautiful to be sure..

more on the building of the bow its getting there, looking at my photos I can see alot of re-painting to be done,I may do the whole of the ships side it will take time as all my painting is done by hand never done spray painting on any of my ships always by hand.
My wife has brought me another ship to do its the APOSTOL SAN FELIPE 1/60 SCALE had a good look at it when the weather was bad and to cold to go into the garage so I done the cheek of all parts
and number them all but its all put away because I have alot of work to do on the Victory.

Footski · « **Reply #114 on:** February 13, 2025, 08:08:27 am »

All coming together nicely. Repainting the hull should sort out the paint bleed between colours. Keep it up..

Update on the VICTORY build its been a few weeks since last post but I have been hard at work on the build.
I have re-painted the stbd side yellow and black looks alot better, also done bit more on the bow just a few bits to do both sides of the bow.
I have started making the doors and covers to the cannons ports alot of work to make and paint them loving every minute of it , the phots show some of the making and cutting of the hatches etc the time just flys past on the build hope you like.

All good Wallace. Great that you are having so much fun doing it.

wallace · « **Reply #118 on:** March 17, 2025, 10:28:03 am »

Sorry for the long wait for more posts etc etc around 4 weeks since my last post.

The photo's are what's been done to the stbd side off the bow which is now 95% done all the work on the Victory now is small details which takes a long time you just cannot rush these jobs I must say it has really tested me to the full but at the end of my 2hours etc a day I down tools look at what I have done, smile and say I have enjoyed that and I'm happy yes not 100% but I'm getting there and loving every minute of the build .

wallace · « **Reply #119 on:** March 17, 2025, 10:34:14 am »

sorry the last set of photos are the way I made the cannon holding ports they took me ages to do cutting cleaning drilling the holes painting them all etc.
So here's more on the gun ports etc.

wallace · « **Reply #120 on:** March 17, 2025, 10:36:08 am »

So sorry here's the build of the stbd bow.

That's looking good. Not sure I'd have the patience to make all those gun ports.
