OK....  back to modeling again now....  

 A kit ...  cheapy ..  of HMS VICTORY  ...

                  LET THE FUN BEGIN

ok...   hahaha i had to convert this video and somewhere along the line it has been speeded up.... but you will get the gist of things... just showing what is in the cheapo kit..  

ok........... there seems to be a major problem with video at present...... 

here is one from day 2 ..  the first one only showed the kit contents ..  

M  l

Hi all .... well day 3 .. here is the video from yesterdays work .. 

  not a lot but loads of glue drying time ..  

Hi all .... day 4  and a little moore done ..  here is  a video o yesterdays progress.... installing the gun ports on starboard side...  ;-)

ok ..  just a little progress.... all gun ports now in place and a bit of thedeck furniture done also ..  tomorrow will see the start of the lower planking ..  

ok.... so onto the normal planking now .. all the lower hull.... there will not be daily updates as this takes a while so here is the start .. and a little rocky too.... the bow is proving to be difficult to achieve the curves... it will happen though ..  ;-)

so.... the planking is done ...  but a big change of plan.... this will no longer be a static model...

 it will be a 3D picture due to the terrible detailing on the model.. it's a cheapy and totaly not worth the money they are charging ... do not buy these models....sadly there is no audeo on this video... 

right .....   welll ..... I have another webcam now but the sound is not good..  

this video shows the planking finished and masts in cannons fitted, gun ports furnished now and waiting to be mounted in a board so I can work on it further without causing damage due to over handling ..  

Hi all ... well once again there is trouble with video.... no audio .. so ... the video is to show it mounted on a work board to help eliminate lots of damage from handling.. the 3 sections of all masts are now done and the bowsprit is full length, the cannons are in place and now to proceed with the deck fittings which are all a little tender ..then the rigging ..  

     

                                                                                                   

No........not another crappy video...   this is a picture ..

 just showing the rigging in process..

Ok......  so here is a better video showing progress to date..?. Yards are now all on and the two stern booms in place, rigging started...  

Ok, just a quick update picture of progress..... slowly getting there....

just a quick update...  rigging still being done and started the copper sheathing for the hull...

Fixed Pitch Helicopter

still just hovering for now .. 

 Hi all.... well back to a little bit of wax carving for  now ..  

  a gnome ... a quick easy one me thinks ..  hahaha  

this was done with 1/2 length of 'road marking' chalk... 

 hi all just a series of videos showing the building of my schooner model

 Hi all , just started a new matchstick model after a while away from things..   the Eiffel tower.. at 2ft .

the first section to first level floor.. 

 Hi all well thats the first section done to the 1st floor platform height... just hand rails to go on .. that will be last when the tower is complete.  3 single story building to go on there...

 now the get on with the second stage up to the 2nd floor platform ... first side done ..  ;-)

Hi all back again.... finish assembling stage 2 of the tower
