HMS victory9 grates & gun port fitting.

This upload shows the marking the false gun ports at the bow( which i will enhanced as closed ports with a twin door later rather than the single port opening. They re closed on the current iteration ), a template for the gun barrel position of the dummy barrels, fiitting of the dummy barrels ( to be removed & put back at a later stage) and the creation of the grating of the upper Gun desk. As video runs our at 25 min mark, I spit the next part into anther upload that will come shortly. 25 min is a but much to watch in one go.
Tks for watching & subscribing.

Thanks for great video Paul. As always looking forward to see more. I do have question for you Paul. I am currently finishing my model Sovereign of Sea, amazing model, which I started in April 2023 and hopefully I'll finish it by April 2024, almost 2000 hours into it. My next model I am thinking about same what you have caldercraft hms victory. Can I ask where did you buy it from or where would you recommend to buy it from? I am guessing you are in UK. Thank you and can't wait to see more :)

I'm in Australia . I was lucky enough to get it from a local distributer 8 years ago ( they no longer sell it). It was 1400 AU back then. You can purchase direct from the Distributor Jotika. If in the Uk I'd go with Cornwall Model boats. Stay clear of cheap online dealers. Sometimes they come up on Model boat forums such as Ship of Scale. Its a big investment in time and cost, but you only live once. Just have to work out what to do with it when done.

@@paulvickers8015 thank you for reply Paul. I will buy it from Jotika as they are only 1 hour away from. i Think it's £1100 over here. I finished 5 lasrge scale model ships in past 4-5 years so victory would be nice to get. I strongly disagree with Cornwall model boats as they are extremely rude, they swearing at customers, never apologize and 99% of the time never respond to phone/email or messenger and the worst one is they taking stuff out of the box. I purchased £900 boat from them and so much was missing that I had to spend extra £200 to buy what they taken out and they just blamed supplier, but when i contacted supplier myself they confirmed there is no issue, so cornwall model boats started swearing at me and just abuse. Wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. But jotika seems solid choice. Thank you
