  • Here is the Heller 1/100 HMS Victory model. This is the first part showing all the assembly of the body as per the instructions. Part 2, to follow, will show all the rigging.
    I only build these during dark winter months here in Scotland and this is only my second model ever built, so I don't have the artistic skills of a pro modeller. Apart from loads of LED lights and some figures there are no extras on this model, like fabric sails, wood decks etc. It's just the parts that was in the box.
    I welcome any constructive criticism from modellers, which will help others watching this with their model making.
    Sadly, I could not find anywhere 1/100 period figures so had to use modern figures and call them tourists. My Victory is dry dock of course so I can get away with it, I think.
    Ooops! I just noticed a mistake with the video.
    The very first word should say Heller NOT Revell!

    That kit is a real challenge even for experienced model builders. My respects to your skill and dedication. The led lights give an extra edge to your built. As with many led´s in small scale they tend to look very bright, especially in the lanterns. Looking forward to part II.

      Many thanks. It took me a long time, likely longer than experienced modellers. I have to thank the experienced modellers posting on TH-cam and too many to credit here. They made it easier to build my model.
      The LEDs do look good, and not finished yet as there are lanterns to go on the mast. I used higher value resistors in line with the LEDs to reduce the brightness but the camera exposure time makes them look brighter than they really are. Part II could be a while yet as I am starting the rigging now

    Very nice. LED’s are an interesting touch. Don’t see that very often on ship models. At least I don’t!

      Thanks for the comment. I love LEDs and have them everywhere but I don't see many on ship models much either.
