I Turned this OVER 40 Years Vintage model kit into my BEST work, HMS Victory Cross Section 1:98

[@RDBetz]

Nice job! I have this kit. My wife bought it for me probably 35-40 years ago. I'm getting back into modeling now that I'm retired and looking forward to pulling this from the stash.

Right on! Enjoy your build!

We’ll get to it there skippy doodle. I’m fairly new to the hobby myself, in the plastic and brass, and age of dreadnought but still. Love this hobby such a great community too, for the most part. Very helpful blokes with the new trends.

Excellent work! I have not worked in wood in years. Do you ever find any problems using acrylic paint on wood? No need for a clear coat of wood sealer?

[@EZmodeling]

@@wmjm74 no problem so far. you may need to apply primer first or simply 3-4 coats. varnish or finish oil works well if needed

That rigging work was outstanding! And using notebook paper to lay out your ratlines was an inspired technique!

I live next to Portsmouth where the Victory is and have been on it a few times, this really has got the look of it. And yes the decks really are that low inside.

What a rewarding hobby that looks to be very meditative. The video definitely is as it has a "Bob Ross" quality vibe.

A wonderful build. I admire your patience with the rigging. Looks amazing.

[@pcatful]

Manufacture of these sets and the subsequent construction by hobbyists is a a marvel and a tribute to the design and construction of the original ships. I didn't think there would be so much initiative that you would have to apply to the set.

[@williamault2490]

I love your work sir. You are a true artist!! Moreover you have inspired me to create my own ship models. Please continue to add more inspirational videos to your library.

Well done, I did a 1:225 scale model of the Victory back in the day & it took me months & I didn't do much knot work at all so that was just a pleasure to watch, cheers.

[@ianmclaughlin8987]

This really is a nice cutaway view, I never seen one like this and it sure shows allot. I can think of endless ship models but this one is really unique and interesting. I would be cool if the entire ship was done like this in sections for the full display, but the hours to do that would be immense. Thanks for sharing this great model.

I just built this. Mine came from a cheap manufacturer. Your kit is way above mine. Brilliant work. 👍

[@EZmodeling]

Thank you, Charlie. The corel kits are at the high end. Your 1:200 is a great build.

[@nosferatu5]

Beautifull craftsmanship. One of the intriguing things about trying to build ship models of old is learning about all the parts and their functions as you build. Seems like you could do real ship rigging after this.

[@EZmodeling]

Thank you very much.

I do plan to build a full ship and one of these cut aways in the coming years if I have them. I enjoyed your build.

This was very satisfying to watch. I visited the HMS Victory with my in-laws on a family vacation last month. The audio tour covered a lot more detail than you went into, but everything you mentioned just brought more of the details to mind, which just enhanced my watching of this video. The kit turned out beautifully, and the video was excellent.

I'm currently focused on machining and building functional miniature machine tools, but have had a lifetime admiration of the rigging on these old ships. Your model is a reflection of your skill and passion. Well done. You should be proud and keep it in a sealed glass case. New sub here.

Wow, Thank you, Joe. I am planning to machine my own metal parts in the future. But, I will need a workshop and all the big toys first :P. Your videos are so valuable and helpful!

[@NO_Expectations]

What an amazing build on the cross section I was very impressed at all of the techniques you used in putting this model together, well done. I visited the HMS Victory when I was working down in Portsmouth in the early 1990s and finished the job I was on early, with another night booked at the hotel I had nothing to do so went on the HMS Victory tour. It is a very impressive ship to walk around with me being tall those lower decks I had to bend over due to the height between the decks being so narrow. It is a shame the upper masts have been removed and the ship is actually crumbling under its own weight. I wish I had had a camera back then they would have been some amazing pictures.

Not sure, but the majority of the planking looked like Sapele and not Walnut, like one I built as a late teenager. Awesome to see how this 40+ year old kit still shines under a master's careful and practiced hand. Hat's off to you, sir! Built my first wooden ship model back in the mid-late '90s: Artesania-Latina Bluenose II. Completely appreciate the effort and attention to detail models like this take. Respect, my dude!

Very well done. An unusual model but interesting. I recognise the part of the ship modelled, I have stood there many times as man and boy, being from the Portsmouth area.

There is also the remains of the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior (Iron clad steam ship) at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
