markjames68 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hello there. have just learnt the art of posting photographs to a website so thought i might share my current build with people on the internet it is a totally scratchbuilt model of HMS Victory, using a light ply set of frames then instead of wood, the model is totally planked in plastic, as it is a painted hull , it still looks wood but is very easy to work with, i can happily supply any information about tecniques to anyone that asks just not sure where to start, also forgive any problems with pics or typing, not too good att either am afraid. if i can figure out how to get the earlier build pics off the camera i will post them also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
