HMS Victory - part 8 Preparing The Bow (Skeleton phase 2)

[@FranciscoGarcia-ce3ub]

Buenos días Juan ,qué detallista no dejas nada al azar ya tenemos luz en la proa me ha llamado mucho la atención el tipo de barniz que has usado en los tablones de la cubiertas la verdad que estoy impresionado eres muy meticuloso, te mando un cordial saludo amigo ⛵

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words my friend!!! This one is going to be the best i ever made, when i begin the stuff on deck i will add more detail that you can imagine :)

[@TomfromsunnyManchester]

John, you seem very brave to show how you work, I would worry far too much I was making a mistake, that everyone but me could see. Realy is lovely to watch and listen to you explaining what you are thinking as you build her. Looking forward to your next installment sir.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

That's the idea Tom, i am still learning. Nobody knows everything :)

Good morning John. great job with simulated decks. slowly moving forward. the mood is great . good luck with further assembly. I will closely monitor your work.😊

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Good morning! I am glad that you like it!!! She is only going to get prettier :)

Hello John I get more and more impressed with that Kit for everytime i see it, you do great work.❤

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much my friend!!! And you are a big contributor, you have send me the schematics for the sails!!! You have to build this one!!!

[@The_Oldguy]

John, your eye for detail and your skill really makes the difference between a "so-so" ship build and an outstanding work of art. Little details that are not part of the kit, such as the "thread" between the planks (to look like the sealing tar) and your lighting effects are wonderful. Keep up the outstanding videos!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! Please let me know your name :)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@The_Oldguy It's nice to meet you Mike!!! If you ever come back to Greece we have to meet and you have to take a tour in my "private naval museum" 🙂

@@JohnsWoodenShips I'm 76 now and don't travel well any more. Have you ever been to Spain? They have a number of the old saling ships there. Boston MA has "Old Ironsides" moored there, it, like HMS Victory are both in "saling shape". I use to trave the world consulting with major businesses and governments regarding Mainframe Computers. Building wooden Models keeps me off the Computer Keyboards (a little). Your English is very good, much better than my Greek. LoL I live 20 miles north of where California, Nevada and Arizona meet. Our summers are over 122 F or 50C

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@The_Oldguy I have been in Spain back in 2009, i have visited Madrid , Toledo and Segovia. I would love to visit Spain again, beautiful country and good people. Never been to the States, i would love to do that at least ones in my life, but it is hard. Your summers are very close to ours the last years, we get around 111 - 119 degrees easily every summer. Don't worry about your Greek, after all it's one of the hardest languages in the world 🙂 I work all my life in service, i have 2 degrees in electronics, one for radio tv and one for computers and automation. Since 2009 i've been working as a service supervisor or service manager in various companies, like retail or service centers and now i have problems with my day job and i think that soon i will be without one... And the situation here is hard...

Great progress John, I’m nearly finished planking the lower deck, so I’m way behind you, but no rush :) I cant wait to see the bulwarks … all the best Nigel

Nice work, John. What a great kit this is. 👍

Great progress John, the thread inset into deck planks look fantastic.

I am glad that you like it Bob, thank you very much !!!

[@michaelryan6884]

She's looking beautiful, John!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much my freind!!!

[@TimTweddell]

John, you were right. The decks are very beautiful!! Have you ever though about installing a overhead camera above your work table? I'm looking forward to when you start putting the cooper to the hull. I know it way to early for that.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Tim!!! Thank you very much!!! I have a professional tripod and i move the smartphone over the bench. It is very hard to film on your own and even harder to have the right angle for every shot :)

Hello John !! magnifique pont ...Mastery total !!

Thank you very much Robert!!!

[@GregWilson635]

The decks and lighting look wonderful. What thickness is the thread you are using?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much my friend!!! It's black 0,15mm, i think that dark brown should look beautiful as well :)

[@GregWilson635]

@@JohnsWoodenShips thanks John, the extra time using thread is worth the result.

[@normandlambert6385]

Bonjour John beaucoup de nouveautés dans ce projet les ponts sont super ne parlant pas anglais il me manque une info j’ai vu que pour imiter les clous dans le bout des planches vous avez utilisé une pointe différente des autres projets je n’ai pas vu ou je l’ai manqué se que vous avez fait pour les mettre noir comme le fil entre les planches.J’ai très hâte de voir comment tout l’éclairage va donner de l’effet. Merci 🇨🇦

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Normand!!! Thank you very much!!! I have used black cotton thread of 0,15mm between the planks, a pin to open the holes for the nails and a pencil to make them black. Then a couple of matt varnish coats and voila!!! :)

[@nicholasmeletio2266]

Looks amazing! What brand of wood sealer are you using? I might need to give that a try. Edit: Nevermind, I should have just kept watching

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

No worries! It is a Greek product so maybe you won't be able to find it.

[@PUNISHERMARKO]

hey John, II was searching for the sails for hms victory 1:75, but i couldn't find any sails in this scale. and I noticed in your video #2 you did get sails. were they made by billing boats just for you or you managed to get them somewhere. the only sails i can find are 1:90 hms victory. real shame that there is no option for selecting sails as like you said 50% of work are sails. i wouldnt mind paying extra for the option to have sails as I always love sails on my models.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi! Like i said on the unboxing follow up, i can give you that information but not in public. Send me a message in FB or email me : [e-mail]

[@PUNISHERMARKO]

@@JohnsWoodenShips will do, thank you John, much appreciated

[@Guy.S.M]

Hi John, did you used your airbrush to paint the bow part in blue? and hopefully if you don't mind me asking why didn't you planked this part as well?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi! No i used paint brushes to paint it and i found out yesterday that there is another piece coming over this one so i didn't have to paint it at all... I will have to paint the other piece much much later.I did not planked it for 2 reasons, one it will be painted, and two there's a lot of stuff going over it.

[@Guy.S.M]

@@JohnsWoodenShips Ho, i see. any way great build. it's looking great!

Bonjour John, Très beau résultat du bordage du pont supérieur, cela fait un bel ensemble avec le pont principal et inférieur. Belle avancée de l'arc (Guibre), de sa façade et de son pont avant bordé. Quelle est le temps de séchage de votre colle blanche ? Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt. Yves de Lille (Nord de la France)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Yves!!! My white glue takes around 4-5 hours to dry.
