My first ever built model ship: the HMS Victory!

/ @curtis_wooden_shipyard
Hello my fellow ship friends. I present to you the very first model ship I've ever built, the HMS Victory from Mantua. Looking back, I realize it might have been better not to start with such a large ship for my first project. The build took nearly 10 years to complete because I had much less time to work on it, which slowed down my progress in learning the necessary model-building skills. I made a few beginner mistakes along the way, but I’m proud of the result! The stern galleries didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hoped, but the deck structures, masts, and rigging already show how far I've come.
