Hello Guys!
Happy new year to all!
This is my version of the HMS Victory!
I painted it in other colours that the one we were used to,cause i want to make a dio of it representing a common ship in a little towns harbor of that time!(Castle,houses,tavern,blacksmith,dock,church e.t.c. all in 1/160)
Of cource it will take me a lot of time to finish the whole project(maquette) but it's worth the effort!
Well here's how it looks!











No weathering has been made yet!
The white box in which i placed the ship will be the sea(painted and resin poured)!
Well let me what you think!!

I think your Victory looks good so far, you said it's 1/160 scale how big is that , should look good with the water, also who makes this kit i may try to get for myself.

Kind of a neat idea not painting it the Yellow / black of the Victory It does give the impression of being another ship. A very novel idea on how to do a waterline. Saves that risk of screwing teh kit up by slicing off the bottom of the hull. I LIKE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments blaster and rv!
Yes the papper base is indeed usefull!
Rv the kit is from Airfix!The old one!
The size in this scale should be about 50cm length and hight!Something like that!I don't remember well!A little more maybe for the hight!
It is big!!!!!!!
cheers to all!

My boss was looking over my shoulder while I was looking at this. Even a non modeler was impressed. Color me doubly so, because I have some idea as to the work invovled.
