Completed. Stona's HMS Victory challenge

[stona]

Here she is.

I think I've made my feeling plain about this appalling collection of malformed plastic masquerading as a starter kit elsewhere, so here's a few pictures.

The Union Flag is intentionally upside down







The coin is for scale and because tuppence is about what the kit is worth



Cheers

Well Steve I know how you feel about this kit but you have done a great job of it, really like the look of the sails and background picture

 

[dubster72]

Great stuff Steve!

 

[Gern]

Apart from the gross exaggeration on the value of this thing, that's a cracking job you've done there Steve. You even got the flags flying the right way round!

Told you it's gonna be great

Ohhh my captain Steve Sparrow!!

You have favorable winds there...

As I can see, you are not a sweet water sailor :D

Wow, that looks better than the Airfix promo shots Great work Steve. I couldn't believe how much retailers were asking for this kit here in NZ: $25.00 was the cheapest one I could see. That's the equivalent of 12.50 GPB!

I hope they were wearing a mask, a stripy tee shirt and carrying a bag marked 'swag'!

Thats a great bit of bashing plastic into shape Steve,funny read too!

 

[steve scan]

This looks great, bet Airfix wish they had a pic. of this on the box. :D

Just like the promo shot steve , job done. I have to agree with you about the kit being well past its sell by date ,as you say if it was only about £2 it would probably be a bit overpriced !! So now you can tick that off the bucket list !!!( dive with sharks , do a parachute jump , climb a mountain , bungee jump , build a 3" long 5o year old mould kit of a sailing ship , etc. ) cheers tony
