i apologise for my inexperience in terms of videos. I'm not very good at these, but finally my Heller 1/100 HMS Victory is complete. the entire build took 11 months, 980 hours and a considerable amount of extras and scratch built parts to complete. every aspect of the Victory is hand painted from the structure to the individual blocks in the rigging there wasnt any masking just a paint brush and eye. all the rigging is fully adjustable if required with all the access lines rolled up and placed on deck or on the racks etc so that I can adjust them if needed. the same can be said for all the adjustable stays along the chain plates etc. the sails have been set to replicate the huge model at the Historical Chatham Dockyard where the victory was built and launched back in 1765 and are supplied by Hismodel and then weathered to suit. there are to many extras and scratch built parts to mention, but some of these include new boats for the decks, scratch built anchor shoes, thimbles, cannon ball racks, brass eyelets, rings etc etc....

I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and advice, especially on instagram throughout the build. without it I would have been stuck on many occasions, but you helped me through it so thank you for that..

anyway, i hope you enjoy my interpretation of the Victory. the entire build can be seen on my Instagram page @rjscaleships
