Nelson's flagship-HMS Victory

[sabre587]

WHAT THE HELL?

[callmeshane303]

A pretty boat with thrusting guns, and filled with semen.

[5mykolatherussian]

@callmeshane303 thats what she said

[Hypocamparis]

wunderschönes schiff. ich wollte mich auch mal an so einem holzbausatz ran machen nachdem ich mit plastikbausätze erfahrung gemacht hatte,..aber die sind in dem maßstab doch recht teuer, und wenn dann mal was schief geht,...auwaija

[JohnTraviss]

A huge motherfucker.

[johnmaff]

Beautiful model! Excellent job and craftsmanship!

[TalonMercenary]

Perfect balanced combination of massive firepower and speed. The Spaniards got that combination way out of proportion with the Santissima Trinidad. No point making a ship massive if it can't move anywhere

[guesswho14teen]

that mutaster took years to make

[chucknorriswontdies]

can someone please reply on this but does 1:72 mean 1 inch equals 72 feet

[jpholmes7]

@chucknorriswontdies it means its 72 sizes smaller than the actual hms victory

[callmeshane303]

@chucknorriswontdies No dumbarse.... it means 1 inch equals 72 miles...

[zenoist2]

I thought it looked great!

Nice job!

[MrRandomusername01]

why didnt they have the whole thing 4 cannons levels it would have look so sick

[BADprid3]

@MrRandomusername01 3*

[5mykolatherussian]

isnt that the endeavour from pirates?:

[TriggerHappy838]

@5mykolatherussian it was based on the hms victory, yes :)

[PIEISGOOD37]

nice model

[BloodyNarcissists]

Fantastic job, looks great! I love the look of these old ships! :)

[dustinw0lf]

i bet if it were real no one would try and fight it with its 3 gun decks and the guns on the top deck

[MickityMickMick04]

@dustinw0lf it is real its still at port in england

[jdowney429]

excellent model, I wish that was sitting in my livingroom

[oskaras77]

fail wouldnt float ...

[shiyboy4]

@rightfredsdead it says on the vid and model H.M.S Victory and even looks exactly like the victory

[rightfredsdead]

@shiyboy4 thats my point. its NOT the victory. its only a model of it. not the real thing at all. way off. probably wouldnt even float.

[shiyboy4]

@rightfredsdead oh my fucking god how stupid are you, thats the whole point it is a model its not meant to be put in water and its not meant to go up against the french navy its just a model a replica, how dumb are you u say stupid things like the victory was launched in 1822 or watever and that this is the Lydon, wat the hell is going through ur head, this is a model replica of the H.M.S victory built and launched in 1765 served as Lord Nelsons flagship in the battle of Trafalgar 1805.

[rightfredsdead]

@shiyboy4 i know what your saying but a true model would have the representations of the lydons keel. theres no hint of this on the model. for instance the copper plating was not as regular on the actual victory due to expansions on the original lydon keel. they would not line up 100%. for me, modeling has to be true. otherwise, its a toy.

[shiyboy4]

@rightfredsdead i have no idea wat ur talking about, i reckon ur making shit up as u go,

wat the hell is this Lydon its got nothing to do with the Victory dude.

this is a gorgeous model and theres nothing more to it

[rightfredsdead]

@shiyboy4 could have been more original. thats all im saying. still, as you say. its only a model.

[callmeshane303]

@shiyboy4 You mean to say they are still sailing in that thing?

[MrUomodigomma]

molto bravo che ha saputo costruirla nei suoi particolari

[TechStudent2010]

The Crowning Jewel of the Royal Navy. HMS Victory. It is still an Assigned ship to the Royal Navy. Has a Captain and a crew. It is also kept in Immaculate Condition. Beatifull Design and craftmanship. The Firepower; DEADLY. You wouldn't want to be up against this beast with Commander Lord Nelson best Admiral in History in the Battle of Cape Trafalgar kicking Spanish and Napoleonic Ass.

[blackplague2011]

wouldn't mind being on that ship durring a naval battle.

[mamalugi12]

yes it built in 1765 by thomas slade

[rightfredsdead]

@mamalugi12 only the hull was laid. they then ran out of both money and oak due to the napoleonic wars. the victory as fighting ship was first launched in 1822, rate and already outdated by new steam paddle ships on the main.

[shiyboy4]

@rightfredsdead no dude, construction was started in 1759 and she was launched in 1765. u are so wrong on ur information. how could she have been launched in 1822 when she was Lord Nelsons Flag ship during the battle of Trafalgar which took place 21 October 1805. really dude u gotta get ur facts straight.

[rightfredsdead]

@shiyboy4 sir, you have made the mistake of many and that was the hull of the lydon. wilkipedia it. then come back to me with a retort or apology.

[shiyboy4]

@rightfredsdead dude did u actually watch the vid it was the victory.

[Angerfist2]

I really saw nothing. Learn how to focus your camera

[rightfredsdead]

HMS victory was built in 1822

[adamjglover]

@rightfredsdead - What? 17 years after the battle of Trafalgar - was built around 1759.

[rightfredsdead]

@adamjglover nonsense. and those cannons were called 'fuckoff' cannons due to the size of shot used.

[riggerrogger101]

@rightfredsdead No the ship was built in the middle 1700's Not the 1800's

[lordiev]

nice vessel, how long is she, big?:)

[buzzclick500]

Wow.

[steve44925]

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question, but this is a first rate ship of the line?

[TomHartill]

@steve44925 - Yes, I think it was the biggest British ship in the battle of Trafalgar, I think the Spanish had the biggest with a 136 gun monster, I forget the name now.

The class of ship in those days was determined by the number of guns, and any ship which had enough guns to participate in a "line battle" where the ships would fire broadsides into each other was considered a ship of the line. Most ships of the line had at least 50 guns and at least 2 gun decks.

[TheM00PS]

Hast du das selber oder nach irgendeinem Plan gemacht?

[tiagandremo]

personaly id say it would cost around 5.000 if not more

[ArgoPloetz]

nice

[bazmaximo]

I want 1 how much do you think it cost?

[Kotassium]

The real thing or this model?

[bazmaximo]

Model.

[slitheen]

"Poop deck!" Ho ho...hee hee.

[small things amuse small minds] :)

[DevrimJan]

That's a great model.

[frankydman]

Wouldn't it have been great if the HMS Warspite (03), the famous Queen Elizabeth class battleship, was preserved alongside the HMS Victory, then the Royal Navy could proudly display a historicaly significant ship of the 19th century Royal Navy alongside a historically significant ship of the 20th century Royal Navy.

Wouldn't that have been a better fate than to have had the Warspite scrapped?

[nrjelley]

@frankydman well the have HMS Warrior next to Victory, one of the fist Iron Warships and they are preserving and restoring the Mary Rose as well!

[frankydman]

@nrjelley

Mary Rose... where have I heard that name before?

I think it was a warship from the time of Henry the VIII that was raised a while back, but do you have any information for me?

[nrjelley]

@frankydman Yes, you're right it was Henry VIII's warship, the largest of it's time. It's in a building next to the other two ships Victory and Warrior where you can go and see in a gallery sort of thing. They are not sure why it sank, possibly enemy cannons or even shallow waters. They found lots of items with the ship and I think you can see them to. If you love Naval history I suggest you go to Portsmouth, it's truely amazing!

[3810325]

an excelent model of the brittish H.M.S. Victory! the details are of great quality and it clearly shows the time and dedication spent on it... you should really construct the sailing structure as welll! good work though

[grimstone87]

what's the title of the song?

[zucoy21z89]

Brilliant model pal and well worth 2 mins, 5/5!!

[SlavetradeDIE]

oh damn....i would so not want to be on the reciving end of that broadside capabilities of that ship...hell no..i would be the one too send them but not recive them

[jimbo620ti]

Why is the hull made of bricks?

[Billothek]

the hull is copper clad sheet items, DE: der Rumpf ist mit Kupferblech Stücken verkleidet

[dancingwithfrogs]

Billothek: Die abschließende Reihe von Kupferblechen wurde nicht im Plankenverlauf sondern parallel zur Wasserlinie angebracht.

Verlegt wurde eigentlich dachziegelartig von hinten unten nach vorne oben und die Bleche waren auch nicht mit dieser Rahmenstruktur versehen, wie im Modell gezeigt.

Ansonsten: Tolles Modell!

[TheSirRoberto]

@Billothek its a nice model but could you paint the hull black

[5mykolatherussian]

@Billothek well no barnacles are gonna be sticking to this tiny ship.it makes it look like a peice of shit

[5mykolatherussian]

@Billothek well no barnacles are gonna stik ton this tiny ship so get rid of it

[ApolloMars1617]

@Billothek gegen Muscheln...sind eigentlich etwas glatter oder?

[3810325]

it's not bricks dude... it's cooper plating... it was used during the 18th/19th centuries to provide ships more speed due to it's hidronomic shape, and also prevent the hull from rootening, and parasites. also it gave extra protection agains enemy artilery, (with bateries from 6 pounds to 24 pounds. any artilery above like the 32 pounds guns, would slice the hull as butter....).

it was a very important advancing in naval engeneering as it was the first step that lead us to our days battle ships

[yadsik]

@jimbo620ti They called it Copper Bottoms.

[simhopp]

@jimbo620ti

that's the "Copper bottom" copper sheets nailed to the wooden plank, to prevent barnacles from sticking to it.

[lesterclaypool1]

@jimbo620ti the british used copper on their ships it made them last and go much faster ,,, it stopped them from being eaten by worms and thing growing on them ,,, so those are actually small copper plates get it ?

[dancingwithfrogs]

Sehr schöne Arbeit. Aber die Kupferplatten werden doch hoffentlich noch patiniert? Auch die Ankerkabel kommen wohl gerade aus der Waschmaschine. Die sollten dunkelgrau-bräunlich imprägniert sein. Bitte!

[LutzDerLurch]

Nicht jedes Modell sollte "Alterungserscheinungen" zeigen. Wobei das Kabel wirklich gefärbt werden dürfte. :)

[dancingwithfrogs]

Lutz der Lurch :

Ankerkabel wurden immer schon vor dem Einbringen ins Schiff einigermaßen wasserabweisend imprägniert. Nicht fett geteert, wie das Stehende Gut, das dadurch stocksteif wurde, auch nicht nur gelabsalbt, wie Teile des Laufenden Guts, sondern in einer Mischung aus beiden Techniken, die das Kabel noch biegsam, aber dennoch maximal wasserabweisend ließ. Die Trossen der Victory hatten einen Durchmesser von über 25 cm und waren schon deshalb wenig biegsam.

[LutzDerLurch]

Daher ja auch die riesen "Knoten" ^^ Danke für die detaillierte Info. Das mit dem "Altern" bezog sich eh mehr auf die Kupferplatten.

[dancingwithfrogs]

....das noch: Dieser neue Kupferton harmoniert leider überhaupt nicht mit dem akkurat gefassten Überwasserschiff.

Wenn du dir mal das Original in Portsmouth ansiehst, wirst du begeistert sein von diesem typischen grünlichbraunen Kupferton, der perfekt mit dem Schwarz und Ocker harmoniert.

Auch die schwarze Cutty Sark in Greenwich, die 2007 ausgebrannt ist, bezog ihre rattenscharfe Optik aus dem gebräunten und grünspanigen Kupfer :-)

[LutzDerLurch]

Hmm.. mag eine geschmacksfrage sein. Ich bevorzuge eh den Anstrich mit Bleiweiß ^^ und die Ocker/Schwarz Lackierung gefällt mir nicht wirklich.

[dancingwithfrogs]

Dann solltest du die Finger von Kriegsschiffen der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jh. lassen! Danach wird´s aber immer einheitlicher. Wirklich interessant ist die Zeit von 1400 bis etwa 1650. Da gibt´s viel zu entdecken und noch mehr zu erforschen. Wenn ich 100 Jahre Zeit und Ruhe hätte, würde ich nichts anderes machen.

Das gehört aber nicht hier hin.

Es gibt zwei Grundtypen von Modellen:

Modelle, die wie Modelle aussehen.

Modelle, die wie Originalschiffe aussehen, nur kleiner.

[LutzDerLurch]

Naja, soweitich weiß, war die Victory nicht vonAnfang an im"Hummel"Muster bemalt ^^ Mein Liebling ist die Bellona :)War eine nette Unterhaltun, jedenfalls. :D

[dancingwithfrogs]

Stimmt. Sie wurde in den 1760ern gebaut, war nicht gestrichen, hatte noch keine Bekupferung und offene Galerien.

Du hast ein sehr interessantes Hobby!

Mach´s gut und viel Spaß noch :-)

[suwhit]

thanks for this i respect Horatio Nelson for all that he has done for the uk also that im related to him

[lfcdave8]

amazing!!!!!!

[mogantiacum]

Eine wirklich tolle Arbeit, meine Gratulation.
