| HMS
Victory: |
Model designed entirely in-house by Rich, Dave and John.
It is our intention to produce the most historically accurate model of H.M.S.
Victory, as she was at Trafalgar. As you may be aware H.M.S. Victory is in
the process of being restored to her original Trafalgar configuration in time
for the bicentenary celebrations on October 21st 2005. We are working closely
with the curator for H.M.S. Victory to ensure that all planned amendments
to H.M.S. Victory will also be incorporated into our finished kits.
The first model under construction is at a scale of 1:72. We are aiming for
a release date of late April. As soon as we have a price we will publish it
here.

Size comparison
between Victory hull (back) and the Agamemnon hull (front). Even at
a scale of 1:72 she's a big ship! |

If it's new
ideas you're after, how about this! Quarter deck and upper gun deck
strip in place, incorporating pre cut gun ports ~ no need to mark and
drill them out yourself! |
|
 |
Middle gun
deck gunport strip in place |
|
 |
Lower gunport
strip in place. This method which will be employed in the kit eliminates
the need to mark out and cut the gunports. Approximately two hours work
is involved in gluing these parts in place, as opposed to 2 or 3 weeks
work if it were conventionally planked! |
