Mamoli 1:90 scale HMS Victory
Hi Guys/Gals
Am new on here, having found your site on google. I recently bought myself the victory kit having been a merchant seaman in the past and having a love of all things to do with knots and ropework. The prospect of all the rigging on this kit is right up my street. I am following the instructions religiously but have come across my first hiccup. The 4 doors on the upper deck that you paint and attach to the bulkheads in the covered area you create are missing from the kit. The windows are there so I had to cut a few small bits of the wood that you use to plank the hull and mark the outline of the window bit of the door instead. can anyone please advise me at which point you varnish the deck etc as I dont want to get too far into it only to find I have gone too far. I have uploaded a few pics showing my model at the point I am up to so far, and will keep poppin a few on as I go. If anyone else has done this kit and feels like poppin a few comments on please feel free. I found the 4 posts showing the planking of the boat on here, with the 2 layers and the trunnelling, I only hope I can get mine as good as that. looking forward to reading comments. cheers.

Re: Mamoli 1:90 scale HMS Victory
Hello, the pictures look good. I have been varnishing the decks as I go. This link has a good explanation of how to plank the hull drydockmodels.com/planking/ . Also did your kit come with copper plates or the green wood chips? Do you know where you can get copper plates in this scale? hope this helps, John

Gary, Im have been building the same model for the past 2 years. You will find the instructions are lacking some what. t the state you at I would put a clear matt on the lower gun deck. Also I would paint the frames between lower deck and top eck the original ocher.... that is if you intend paint her. You best point of reference is keep looking at as many picture of Victory as you go. This will give you a good idea at what point you ned to paint. Good luck. I will post mu Victory very soon.

Hi Gary
My Victory is based on Corel's kit, but mostly bashed because the plans were greatly lacking. I found that visiting the Victory's website and browsing the many pics of the actual ship was extremely helpful. Best of luck with your build. Dave
