papa 695s Revell 1/146 HMS Victory

[papa 695]

I’m going to start this one, it will be a slow build. Just one to do in between other builds so it may take some time.
Not sure if all the parts are there, as you can see there’s some loose parts in the bag.

Hi Ian
I shall follow this with interest. I hope it's all there but at that price it's a bargain. Revell certainly made their ship models in some odd scales.

I am glad someone else is making one as I have three of these little devils on the go so I will watch with interest.

Welcome aboard Christopher, if any are missing I will try and scratch build them if not, I’ll just build in a battle scene.

Pete what colour are you using for the terracotta colour that is now said to be the correct colour.

I am using the yellow colour as I don't think that the terracotta was carried for long but just for information I am using humbrol 154.

Nice start Ian .

 

[papa 695]

Why do they do this?

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Thoughtless or what?
Which part of deck is this? Hopefully not the poop.

Jon.

If that’s the small deck at the back Jon that’s it.

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

What you going to do?
I can't see anything other than sanding it off and rescribing the deck.
Jon.

Well I’ve sanded it off.

Hi Ian, nice looking kit with lots of bits, not a good place to put a company logo that's for sure.
I'll be keeping an eye on your progress if that's ok.
Pete.

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

That worked out a lot better than I thought it would.

The caulking looks to be a little proud of the deck planks.If you can't scribe it you could use short lengths of cotton.
Jon.

 

[Steve Jones]

Rather you than me Ian. I wish you all the best. How mush rigging are you going to have to do??

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one.

Been trying to find the right colour for the so called correct colours now on the Victory.

This picture show the right colour, yes both colours are the same.
So I’ve gone with this a mixture of Vallejo flat flesh topped with cork brown.

Also got the decking painted.
