My name is Steve Anderson, aka, Jasta11ace. I am an artist and modelmaker. I have always loved and been inspired by ship models. My first exposure was the collection at the San Francisco Maritime Museum when I was in High School. Since then I've had the good fortune to visit National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, Preble Hall at the US Navy Academy at Annapolis, and many others. C.S Forester's Hornblower series, Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey, and Alexander Kent's Bolitho books are "very well thumbed", as Sherlock Homes would say, for continued inspiration.

In 1991 I laid the keel for HMS Victory in 1:64 scale. I chose this scale, rather than 1:48, because it seemed to more fitting in scale to a home and was big enough to get your hands inside for great details. The project has been in progress on and off since then. All is plank on frame. The patterns and molds for the cannons were made by me. The cast parts are urethane. The decorative painting is all brush work.

I will post some of the work in progress and will continue to do so as I go forward toward completion.
 
Hallo Steve,
once more welcome here on board of SOS, we are happy that you have found us.
A very interesting ship you are showing us, and in addition, what we can see by the first photos a very good work in addition. Very clean and accurate.
Honestly it will be hard to wait until you start the building log of the finalization work on her, but I hope also that you show us something from the past of your modeling work on the Victory. When I take a closer look to the first photo showing her stripped, I can realize, that you have a the underwater hull frames, behind the wales and planking "full material" and higher at the rails once more frames -> very interesting and needs a lot of detailed planning, I think.
So you see -> we are very interested in your work -> show it to us :cool:
