Hello from Canton Ohio, USA
My name is Bill and I'm primarily a plastic modeler of the ships and aircraft of the first and second world wars. Hoping that, if, I can complete the Heller 1/100 HMS Victory, it will lead me to wooden kits. I'm looking for all the help, advice and motivation I'll need to turn this kit into something presentable.
Glad to be aboard! Bill |

Re: Hello from Canton Ohio, USA
Bill: Welcome aboard
You're the second new member in a week working on Heller's Victory (I can't remember the other person's name). You two should get together and start a "projects" thread. I Look forward to following your progress. The Heller Victory is a very good, detailed plastic kit. It won't give you any experience in planking the sides, but it will give you a lot of practice on the rigging.

Re: Hello from Canton Ohio, USA
Thanks Don - Will do!
Bill Automerged Post: Thanks James. There's actually a forum on another site that's dedicated solely to building the Heller Victory, and it's proving to be an invaluable resource. I'm here, hoping to find something similar - a practicum etc.. - on the Revell Constitution which I'd like to start working on as well. Bill |

Re: Hello from Canton Ohio, USA
Hi Bill --
I don't recall a practicum for Revell's Constitution . I built her several years ago and recall Revels instructions/rigging plans were excellent . You can download the instructions/plans for Model Shipways Constitution from their web site . cheers
