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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
You sir are extremely skilled & patient to not only build a model like this but to document it as well as you have for all of us to enjoy. Content like this gives me hope for humanity.
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.
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!
This is a beautiful model. Thank you for sharing. It's been a decade since I've built a model ship, and after trying woodworking for several years, I think I'm going to order this model today.
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.
Brilliant work, I grew up in Portsmouth with this colour scheme but the victory now sports a pink and black scheme, apparently correct for her appearance at Trafalgar.
Sweet! I bet any sailing museum would love to display that. You have way more patience than I. I would not have been able to do the rigging. Keep up the excellent work sir.
I remember visiting this as a small child. I have a very specific memory of looking at the sea and wondering if there were any whales. This video reminded me of that for some reason lol.
That was one of the coolest models and best model building videos I've watched. You did an outstanding job, sir! I'm now going into your library to watch more. Thank you for uploading. I look forward to seeing what new stuff you find to turn into a work of art.
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.
I bought this model about 20 years ago and never finished it, it's moved house with me 3 times, i think it's time to get it out again, this video will help me for sure, Thank you.
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 HAD THIS EXACT KIT* I bought it in about 1991 and 10 years later I was about 3/4 finished and I lost it in a house move - I had put SO much work in, I'm still devastated about it...
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. Have you been able to visit HMS Victory? If not, then I hope you do get to one day, it is a truly amazing experience. There is also the remains of the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior (Iron clad steam ship) at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
A single conversation across the table with a wise person is worth a months study of books.
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!
@@EZmodelingGo for it! I just retired in March and I jumped right in.

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?
@@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
Fantastic! After 40 years in hiding you were lucky enough to build this kit as it was intended to from the beginning. Well done!
Many thanks!
@@EZmodeling If I may ask, how much did you pay for it at garage sale?
@@genojoe3176 maybe 30-40CAD back a few years ago
@@EZmodeling Great value! The least I've seen kits like this they have been a minimum of $99 USSD at Amazon. Love it!
Wow!!! I built the very same kit back 1976, still have it on show to this very day. Great seeing you built it, great job.
Thank you. A great kit!
That rigging work was outstanding! And using notebook paper to lay out your ratlines was an inspired technique!
Glad it was helpful!
A wonderful build. I admire your patience with the rigging. Looks amazing.
Thank you very much!
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.
Yes! I enjoyed the voiceover on this one too
For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
You did a fanstastic job. This looks incredible 🧡🧡
Thank you so much!!
outstanding !!
Well done my friend, thank you for sharing this project with us.
Thank you! Cheers!
I just built this. Mine came from a cheap manufacturer. Your kit is way above mine. Brilliant work. 👍
Thank you, Charlie. The corel kits are at the high end. Your 1:200 is a great build.

Came out amazing. Love the back story. 👍😎

A glorious slice of Victory.

No wonder Victory was NOT Nelson’s favorite ship :P yellow and black looks better
@@EZmodeling I totally agree 👍
Very cool mate👍
Sweet! I bet any sailing museum would love to display that. You have way more patience than I. I would not have been able to do the rigging. Keep up the excellent work sir.
Thank you 🙏
Excellent craftsmanship!!!
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
Beautiful work, wonderful to know it was taken care of all these years
Many thanks!
I always wanted to make a wooden ship model and now know why I won't. I'm too lazy for this so glad to see you do it.
Give it a try when you have time. You will like it
I remember visiting this as a small child. I have a very specific memory of looking at the sea and wondering if there were any whales. This video reminded me of that for some reason lol.
Beautiful work man.
Thanks a lot!
Such talent and skill. This turned is beautiful 👏👏
Excellent work thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you too!
That’s just fate to get such a beautiful model, it’s been waiting for you for so many years. Well done on the build, it looks very tidy and well made.
beautiful work👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Friggin’ awesome!!

Glad you liked it!
Beautiful result. I loved every second of this video!
Thank you so much!
Well done and well narrated. The music was appropriate as well.
Astounding work!
Awesome work sir 👍🎩,a very nice model . Would like to do this myself.
Thanks. Go for it, it is a fun kit to build.
Much respect!👏🏻
fantastic

WHY IS HE WHISPERING ???
Watching Master. Dave
What a pleasantly narrated video. It really was enjoyable as well as awe inspiring to watch you work. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Your rigging is awesome!, this build is Awesome! wish they would make the whole ship, that would be really cool.
That model is awesome, very nicely done. I particularly liked the copper skin under the waterline, that was a nice detail.
Thank you 🙏
I bought this model about 20 years ago and never finished it, it's moved house with me 3 times, i think it's time to get it out again, this video will help me for sure, Thank you.
Good luck building and looking forward to seeing the finished model!
Loved the idea of using the notebook paper for the rigging!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
What a great find
Thank you for explaining what products you use. Very nice build.
My pleasure!

Great idea of the whole display of sections🤔 Glad you enjoyed the video.
How surprising. About 40 years ago, I was considering, if I should buy it. Instead I bought the "Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde"
Your attention to detail pays of well. Nice job.
Thank you! Cheers!
such a beautiful build..love it a lot..how about a few crew members added to it?
Thanks. That was what I thought too but couldn’t find a good ones for that scale.
Beautifully done!
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.
Thanks and enjoy your build.
Awesome work dude really nice
Thanks a ton!

Sorry to hear that.
Nice job...I'm an airplane builder but now I want to find a vintage ship to build...well done.
Great Job !! Looks Awesome !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Rigging came out so good
Wonderful detail!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lucky dog! Great find.
Lol
You did the model set designers proud. Great looking set
Thank you very much!
Wonderful work. I have always wanted to build this. Not the forty year old one of course. Amazing work, great job.
Thank you. Go for it. Great kit and so much fun. Good luck building!
Beautiful job!
