Analyzing some pictures I realized that some of this ships had gunports. And this ship really need those gunports to be shut off when is sailing under strong wind . So I create the gunports:

The gunports look great Catalin, I really do like those sails too did you do the anchor chain in a metallic gold? It looks like it's reflecting light which is a nice touch :D

Thank you for appreciating my work, but I know I am still far away of being a good ship modeller.


Yes! The chain is metallic gold and I like how is looking like.

What else is there to do on this build? It doesn't look far from finishing

SUPERB! I often wonder at how tall the mast were in sailing ship, and why they didn't capsize with all that sideways pull (when sailing against the wind).

The Victory is an old Airfix and the USS Constitution is having the same age with the one you builded 35 years ago!
