Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions.

Default HMS Victory
For anyone making a model of HMS Victory I would recommend a book I recently purchased:

HMS Victory Her Construction, Career and Restoration
by Alan McGowan
Published by Caxton Editions of The Caxton Publishing Group
ISBN 1 84067 532 2

The cost was 30 pounds sterling.
The book has extensive drawings, plans, etc. and would be a boon to anyone working on this model. Try your local library or eBay!!
