HMS Victory (Airfix) - First completed ship model


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

I finally managed to complete my first ever ship build. Mostly spend my time building planes and trains.

 

Let me know what you think of the build and finished model?

 

I found it to be quite fiddly, what with the small pieces and the fit not being great.

 

Sits on my window sill now though in pride of place XD

A nice little build and I rather enjoyed the video. You have put your finger on the main issue yourself, in that it would have been best to paint as you went along. If you can lay your hands on some copper coloured paint, it would be worth repainting the hull below the waterline in that colour as Victory's hull was sheathed in copper.

A good build, nice model. We learn new things with each build, Martian is correct with his advice on the copper hull and this would not be too difficult to add.

well done.

Cheers Richard
