All set, as per your request. Can you give us a bit more information about your build? What scale is your Victory? What plans do you use as the reference material?Thank you Jimsky, yes, move it please.
Hallo Uwek,Hallo Attila,
are you building the Victory based on her original appearance? with open gallery and balcony?
I see this project as a practice piece. I planned to build a "walnut shell" on which I would build everything on the outside. Im looking for/learning the techniques and buying the machines etc etc....Interesting way of building and the cutout...What is the intention\purpoce for such openings? You already plank the sides of the frames.
Hi Attila, I see you have plans for the HMS Victory as she was originally built with the open galleries. I also understand you will build her in her currently refitted state, with closed galleries. I can appreciate that as there is more documented reference materials available for the latter.
hi KenHi Attila, I see you have plans for the HMS Victory as she was originally built with the open galleries. I also understand you will build her in her currently refitted state, with closed galleries. I can appreciate that as there is more documented reference materials available for the latter.
I too have the HMS Victory as a possible next project. I have the Caldercraft kit, but plan to bash it up good and have pretty much every book on the HMS Victory, but have not been able to get a hold of the plans or any reference on the original gallery and quarter galleries.
Would you please tell me where you found the plans you've posted on the gallery/quarter galleries. I would find them incredibly helpful for my project.
Thank you in advance and thank you for sharing your build with all of us here @ SoS!
Cheers,
Ken
Hi Attila, yes I John Mckay's book is one of 8 HMS Victory references I have.hi Ken
I build the victory based on John McKay’s book and unfortunately I only have these two photos of her old look.
I'm sorry I can't help you more than that.
Cheers

Hi Ken,Hi Attila, yes I John Mckay's book is one of 8 HMS Victory references I have.
Can you tell me where you got the gallery plan photos, or would you be willing to copy or scan the ones you have for me? I would be happy to pay for any costs (scanning/shipping, etc.).
EDIT/UPDATE: Actually, I just noticed on one image, the header, "Anatomy of Nelson's Ships", which I also have. I just never noticed the body plan depicted the original gallery design. I'll look at that later....
Thanks.
Ken.
