The Victory carpenter's account is an invoice for paint pigments, not actual tins of paint! The pigments were mixed on site with a linseed oil base, and Calcium Carbonate was added to improve, enhance and extend the coverage of the paint. It could therefore have been almost any colour when applied! And although Admiralty had a standard colour scheme, it clearly was "interpreted" by Captains as a whole variety of colours based on yellow ochre and white were seen on various British warships.
I could also be that white was used as the undercoat and Ochre on top. Lincoln University has done recent research of paint samples form the ship itself, and consider the hull to be bands of graphite black alternating with a sort of Khaki colour.
I'm not saying your scheme is incorrect. I'm saying we don't know for certain. Whatever shade one uses, nobody can really say it's wrong.
Nelson is recorded as painting the masts a very pale shade of yellow, however.
Thank you! Very interesting! Thank you for This comment!
Ahoy, the best kit. Historical, even much better presented. Than the very expensive wooden kits.
This will be a masterpiece. All those parts are mindboggling. 3000 or more parts (with PE)! That's going to be one heck of a job. The instructions are intimidating alone. Really looking forward to all of the awesome videos. This really made my day, thank you Alex. Stay safe brother and have a wonderful weekend. My best to your family and friends. God bless. 👍👌🇵🇹🤝🇺🇸
Just opened the box for the Victory, will be following your build closely. I already have a TH-cam channel and will be posting my build blog there. All the best with the build.
EXCELLENT ,, WELL DONE . YOU HAVE REAWAKENED MY INTEREST IN MODELS AFTER A 30 YEAR LAY OFF ,, THE VICTORY WILL BE ON MY TO DO LIST ,, JUST FINISHED READING TRAFALGAR , THE MEN ,THE BATTLE , THE STORM ,,WHICH IS A GREAT READ :)))
You can do it Alex , I have faith you can. Try not be overwhelmed on how many steps you have before you but rejoice in the steps you have behind you. If it takes a few videos I myself can understand and be patient. You do amazing work and thank you for the interesting narrative.
I live near Portsmouth where Victory is on display at the Historic Dockyard there, so I've seen her in person and been aboard her several times over the years. Your model is off to a great start and I'm sure you will do your best to make this build as faithful to the real thing as possible. Keep up the good work!
Alex, I had this very kit 30 years ago. I got as far as the foremast when an event happened that caused me to deposit the kit in a refuse bin. never mind that , the yellow was yellow ochre and Nelson really liked the "checkerboard effect" of the gun ports painted black along the ochre stripes. Nelson was my hero from age of about 6 years old and eventually setting foot aboard Victory was spiritual. I know you will do justice to his and this magnificent ship's memory. Thank you in advance.
Thank you!
As you mentioned, the huge tome "The Anatomy of Nelson's ships" is a great book and still so cheap from secondhand booksellers. I believe it describes the HMS Victory model in the Science museum in London
Hi, I build one a few years ago, was an older version, no ropes supplied, I was scared also....I ´ ve noted the hours spent on the project,
No photoetch parts, in all I spent over 325 hours..one Step at the Time, Happy modeling, Worth it...!!!
Thank you!
GREAT CHOICE to model! Looking forward to following your build!!!
Miss you my friend! You're a true model master!!!!
Alex - couple of things:
1. Don't give up. Any model kit can be challenging and sometimes you just have to step away to regroup.
2. I have started building a couple of wooden ship kits over the last few months. I thought plastic kits could be challenging but these wooden ships are intense. In a good way.
3. A wise man said that if you rush, then it's not a hobby. Take your time. Study the instructions. Prep as much as you can. It's not a race.
You probably know all that, but I hope you enjoy the build and have fun.
Clrsr
This kit will really test your skills, but I know you will do an outstanding job. You must have some really nice views from your yard.
I built the Spanish Galeon and Constitution from Revell when I was around ten. So 20 years ago. Both in around 1:96.
You can clearly see a child built it but I think they still look great.
So if a 10 year old can do this, you can easily build the Victory 😁
Thank you for your support! Stay safe!
Nice start on the Victory Alex... you are a dab hand with the paint brush... I wish my hands were that steady. I think the wrong colour on the copper hull actually worked in your favour as a perfect undercoat to get a nice copper tone. Some of my biggest mistakes turn out to be new techniques LOL
You know what?? Thats Exactly what i think about back then... It Gave me the needed tone to make that Cooper coat to Shine! Even so... Really??? Hope you are well and safe
Great Update ! I had that kit when it first came out , and gave it away after seeing all the parts. Good luck, looking forwards to your build. Hope you and your loved ones are well ! Take care, Tony
I always drooled In front of the Heller catalogue on those years with the Soleil Royal. Beautiful kits but expensive and out of reach for a teenager who was still building the Matchbox simple & affordable ones. I love this model, it will be stunning once completed. Keep patient, I trust you will make a masterpiece out of it...as usual! Bonne continuation !
Merci beaucoup!
PS, your series of vids has inspired me to order this kit! I rather like the photo etch and resin stuff you highlighted too...although it would cost more than the model kit itself to acquire all the sets.
Been looking forward to this first video for quite some time and it didn’t disappoint. Had to smile at the yellow ochre segment though; they’ve recently repainted Victory in Portsmouth in what they say are her Trafalgar colours and the yellow ochre is now more of a very pale salmon pink / yellow which doesn’t look like any colour used in contemporary paintings of the Royal Navy from the time. So I’m very happy to see you are sticking with the ‘traditional’ colours beloved by modellers for decades :-). On a more serious note, this is a huge undertaking in terms of time especially now you are adding all the PE in. Don’t feel you need to finish it for us, the viewers, if you ever need to park it and do something else for a few months we’ll understand.
Beautiful paint job you sure made my country proud :-)
You should build the Revell U.S.S Constitution. She’s an amazing warship. And she’s the oldest ship still sailing and even the oldest still floating.
HMS Victory is actually still in service. As the Royal Navys' Flagship, she's the oldest commissioned warship in the world! Also, a national treasure and one of my favourite ships.
Man, that's magnificent. I wish i could have enough skills to build such a beautiful ship. Stay healthy amd patient, Alex!
Thanks
...I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST Alex On Your Model Kit Ship.!!
An amazing looking kit, I'll tag along for the ride Alex! Liked and subscribed :-)
Welcome!
Hermoso barco Alex, voy a armar uno pero espero a que termines el tuyo, el desafio sera poner las cuerdas pero conociendo tu trabajo estoy seguro que no sera problema para ti, quedara genial, saludos
Nice paint job, hope to see it finished.
Me too
New Subscriber, Alex! I want to build an HMS Victory too but i dont know if i am committed enough or skilled enough. I am not really a model builder but have been an ASE master auto technician for over 20 years so i like building things and i appreciate the assembly process but i may be a bit on the lazy side so i am living vicariously through these videos! Thanks!
Thank you! :)
Good work Alex, always with a smile ;)
Toujours! 😊😊👍
@@AlexModeling héhé, pas trop difficile le Heller ? j'en ai monté un, et j'en ai bavé
Nice Kit Alex, I am still trying to track one down as the impact of covid atm has made supplies pretty scarce, that said I am in No hurry as I have the Heller Soleil Royal 1:100 which hopefully I will be starting in a few months.
Thats a beautiful kit! I want One as well
Nice work Alex
Thank you
Nice. Ceep the work upp.
Boa sorte! Esse modelo da Heller é um verdadeiro desafio.
Bem vou precisar! Forte abraço!
I’d love this kit if I ever get sentenced to life imprisonment for murder 😂. Looks an awesome project
Very good!
da para notar a diferença na cor definitivamente a segunda de mão é semelhante a cobre
I've started this project now that my handicapped son and I are limited where we can go. You see, my son won't wear a mask which means in Minnesota we are banned from going to the stores he loved so well. More important, he sits near my work table with his Duplo while I build.
Please Stay safe you and your Son, and above all be Strong! You both are on my prairs
@@AlexModeling And you too! A nice Victory build would be an excellent wat to beat this.
Love the work you do Alex
Hello! Thank you!!
A Nelson's uniform from this battle can be seen at the Maritime Museum in Greenwich ,London UK .
divide and conquer!
Good Kit, i think i will Start with the same in next winter👍
More than 30 years ago I wanted to build the HMS Victory, it was a kit out of wood, and too much work.
So I didn’t finished yet. Then I decided to build the PAMIR from Heller, but it took a very long time to build. Many years without doing anything!
I finished it in March 2020🤔 I hope I will build the HMS Victory more fast!
I have a good teacher now I’m watching 😀 your videos are always very good!!
If you’re interested in watching my work the PAMIR you can see on my instagram account
“Mekki_Cat” would be a pleasure for me when you like it!
Many greetings to Portugal
Hello! Of corse i will check your Instagram! Thank you for your comment! Greetings FROM Portugal!
Why do you think its to much for you ? I would realy like to build this one to
I have in english manual, but for new type same model(i think its same). I can made scan for U.
Again.. thank you so so much. If you have anything that can help me to build this huge kit please i would apreciate. Thanks
Ok i do that tomorrow👌
I've been trying to find an English version for years!!!
@@duskorture if U still looking i have
@@Rob3rtM yes please!!!
mine Heller HMS Victory 1:100 come in box with all plastic parts in same colour. ? some wires and w spools of thread.
I'm in the process of building this exact kit from Heller. Scale 1:100 I pasted copper on the fuselage. The colors are from Krick, original pigments. So far so good, but now comes the rigging. But the printing of the building plan is such a disaster that, I have to laboriously look for everything together. A model kit in this price range should at least have legible instructions. The yarn that came with it is a joke too.
I agree. Its an old kit, and the instructions didn t got any update or improvement
@@AlexModeling Thats not what I meant . The plan is simply badly printed. The designations are too small and blurry, so that the numbering cannot be recognized. Not even with a magnifying glass. But I downloaded pictures from the internet, after which I can see the details
...I Couldn't build that Ship...Too Complex for me..
Ive done 2 of these
Hi Alex... grest to see the first episode build. Its a beast of a kit! I'm doing this kit as well at the moment. Sorry to see the damage on some parts of the kit. You'll be OK though! I visited the real Victory recently and have loads of reference pics which I'm happy to share. Nice colours you chose. I think gold makes a good base for copper. Adds a richness. I used Tamiya panel line black as a wash over the copper and will weather further soon, but it looks good so far. Your yellow is great too. I went with tamiya flat flesh (x15 I think?) As it represents the ship as she is now, but the yellow ochre is a classic! Humbrol do a nice oak acrylic as well for the masts, but it doesn't airbrush very well. What are your thoughts on blocks and deadeyes? Are you going to stick with the kit supplied or will you replace?
And... last but not least, why you hate the seagulls? :)
AHAHAHAH!! well, im going for wood, blocks and deadeyes! and because seagulls just sh** all over the place, including my silver mercedes benz from 1995 K paint!
The victory over the years has had all sorts of different colours even once back and white stripes
i'm working on the 1/96 scale USS Constitution by revell and this kit looks alot more complex.
Just a tad... ,😊😊👍
It's just good business.
Does heller still manufacture these kits?
Lindo adorava puder faser algo como iso mas nao consigo tanho escloroses multipas e afeto u meu braso direito sorte caro amigo
Muito obrigado! Forte abraço amigo!
lol you said “all over again” all over again
