looking really good john you have done a fantastic job on the planking very neat indead hope mine turns out the same when i start my Victory, have 50 issues saved up just now and one thing im still not sure about is the blocks on the cannon tho from what i have seen on the victory site they seem to me to be a bit too big ? what do you think john because im assuming they would be the same on both the SOTS and Victory kits

cheers steve

Hi Steve thanks for ur kind comments, as for the cannon blocks i assume you mean the hight adjuster at the back of the cannons,

I don't think it's over size maybe just a tad to long, what u think.

Sorry Steve i just twigged what u mean by blocks you ment rigging blocks Derrrr. yep they are a little oversized.

hi John yes it just seemed to me they looked a bit big but having only photos to go by and you have already constructed ur cannons you would know better than me but time will tell i suppose when i get it started and reach that stage

Hi John

Glad to see your still keeping up with it,what do you think to the quality of the kit overall ?. Not started my victory yet but upto issue 110 now and hope to start her later in the year.

cheers steve

Hi Steve, overall I would say it's outstanding quality, this thing will weigh a tonne when finished, all of the figures & decorations are made of cast white metal.

There's more types of wood than I can count, so on the hole top notch.

Good luck with yours & look forward to your build thread.

John
