How long did it take you to complete the build? Thinking of getting one for myself.

Anymore progress now?

Dude I love what you’re doing but your camera work needs a little umm attention. Lol. It’s hard to see the closeups of the parts. Fantastic otherwise, I love how you said you have no idea what you’re doing, 😂😂 . Subscribed for sure.

Every time you throw and just drop stuff on the table I cringe 😬🫣😬 lol. Be careful dude. The current price on age of sail is just over $1,300.00.

At 7:40 in the video when you finished looking at the plans, there was what appeared to be all of the standing rigging but it didn’t look like there was anything for the running rigging. I guess we will see.

You’re voice has the sound of someone thinking “oh crap, what have I gotten myself and over $1,000 of my money into?” Lol. I can’t wait till I feel like that when I finally feel like I’m ready for that kit.

HI Chris, just wondering how you are going with the Victory? I just received mine , looks like a huge Challenge :)

Looking good Chris. Anymore progress on the build ?

⭐️ I have watched and enjoyed your ambitious build of an already very impressive model…thanks for sharing….I have subscribed because I am really interested to follow your progress….keep well in the meantime ⭐️ 👍

⭐️ great build…..how difficult was it to put together and what was the hardest part ?….thanks for sharing ⭐️ 👍

Did the kit come with sails , before i send off dollars

No Sails, a ship aint a ship without sail?

Is CalderCraft based in USA or overseas. May i ask how you ordered it. I got the 1:70 montanes from ageofsail and in California but they dont make the Victory for some strange reason

Not counting the bowsprit, what is the measurement from the figurehead to the stern? Thank you

Where is C Craft based, USA? Was the kit about a Grand. I built the ocCre montanes 1:70 but kind of need a 1:70 Victory

good

gostaria de aprendera fazer e estudar modelismo voce pode mi a ajudar

The Victory is really coming together nicely. Really looks huge!

Big ship. Do not throw out the extra frame wood. You will need it for filler on large models. Stay focused all the while that you are gluing. Its very easy to make a mistake. Good luck.

You have bit off way more then you can chew. Sorry to tell you ,that this ship is for a museum only build. I started a 200 scale ship of the line WASA and only got half way. Have patience that is the key to this big job. Good luck sir. FromOhio

Holding stuff up close to your camera just puts them out of focus and is kind annoying sorry. Good luck for your build though.

espero que lo haya terminado, no hay mas en el mercado esta joya, tengo los planos estoy estudiando para atreverme.

Any updates on the build?

Hi How can i contact you? I have some problem with my new caldercraft hms victory

Hi Thanks a lot

Hello Chris, any progress on the Victory?

All white metal castings are cast by hand. A lot of work in our kits hope you enjoy

It takes me 4-5 hrs to print and fold 10 kits worth

It will be sweet, keep it up Chris.

Great idea gluing the Bulwarks after dry fitting deck 3.

Ive just bought this kit and I'm fascinated with your videos, they should make a useful reference for my build.

Which company is this kit made by?

Finished this excellent model last year. I purchased the Period Ship Handbook by Kieth Juliet ( it has Victory on the cover). He gives some really helpful advice on the build.

Any movement on this? Please keep posting...

Hi Chris, just binge watch the HMS Victory. Looks an awesome kit and loving you enhancement ideas. I’m just about to start the Heller 1:100 with all the Dafi etch etc. Next plan then is a wooden ship, Would love to have a bash at this but like you said the size is big don’t know where I would put it. Keep up the videos.

Age of sails

where can i buy this kit?

I am in the process of building HMS Sovereign of the Seas, based on the DeAgostini framework and am at the same point as yourself, except that the upper decks are not installed because I will be installing the grounding tackle before moving upward. Internal lighting will help you see the anchor handling equipment, capstans, ladders, and other internal details this deep in the hull via the gun ports, but admittedly you won't be able to see much without a magnification scope of some kind. Best of luck on your HMS Victory! That's a most popular ship.

part 21 is the last for about a week I'll bee back thank you for your support.

John Aliprantis in part 5 of his Montanes build goes into a lot of detail about placing lights in the officers quarters etc. I know its a different ship but it might be helpful to you to see how he went about it.

Are you going to install a proper 3rd level gun deck and place fully trucked guns on it? Dummy guns never look convincing to me. They look like a shortcut. I make extra gun carriages. They are not rigged being so hidden, but the visibility of the carriages makes a difference. If you rig soft interior LED lights, internal details deep down in the hull may be partially visible and add to the simulation if you peer in through the gun ports. I typically add things like capstan shafts, pumps, stanchions and deck supports, simulated interior framing, and other features to the level of detail that you can see them from certain angles as you peer into the side of the ship. Too much is a waste of effort, but with a ship as large as Victory, you may consider entirely furnished gallery rooms with furniture, visible through the windows with interior lights. Lots of planning to add, but so worth it. I am planning on gutting large portions of the interior of to add these sorts of details, once the planking is on the hull to take over support such that the internal skeleton can be removed and replaces by realistic looking framing.

You need a nice, strong keel vice to keep that false keel straight and avoid twist in the hull. Things can go very wrong this early!

Just getting started! Off we go! I just finished framing and balsa filling the hull on HMS Sovereign of the Seas, the older English 100 gunner from 1637. Speed in the killer of detail, neatness and accuracy. Add lots of scratch built additional features and a kit turns out SO much better.

Hope to see you on the Ships of Scale forum!
