Building Wooden Model of Hms Victory Part I

[Ghostguy20]

building this model seems really hard to me

[MrJoshLewi]

Will it blend? that is the question.

[CPMariner]

The "music" ruins this video. Music of the period (18th, early 19th centuries) can be quite pleasing even to a "rocker" in small doses. The frantic pace of this audio is entirely inconsistent with the slow, painstaking process of building a fine model.

[datzfast]

if one could purchase fully built this caliber of model, how much in ball park rage would she cost a person.

[AngelBiLove]

If ya caan put something on it, so it can float, and so it can float with the wind a bit to have fun with, then i'd buy it xd When im lots older and have money and time to waste, id luv to build the grand 106 gunner :)

[vdub2002]

audio is horrible

[cuzgandalfgothigh99]

make a wooden model of the flying dutchman!

[sweetypie000]

but will it blend ?



[NightrakeLS13]

HI great series of vids to show how the Victory can look - I am building it for my six year old son - who is now bugging me to make the trip to see the real thing . Any way thanks for the tips - It shows just how much work goes in to it .... I'd sussed the bit about not driving the tacks all the way in ...pls advise I have damaged a fair few planks whilst 'bending' until I got the hang of soaking and starting laying 'on the bend ' - do they supply spares ?

[RaxterFire0Studio]

where did you get that???

[EVITANDY]

very interesting, but why accompany it with that awful noise?

[RobRed2007]

Wow - fantastic!! I'm busy with the Mississippi river boat. Is there a proffession in this ?

[Spinatspatzl]

how long does it take you to finish the ship?

[oscarcr80]

@Spinatspatzl I made the same model, and it took over 1 year.

[mabeklvista]

soo wicked!

[MrQbeats]

where can i get a kit like this?

[hlbpr]

That is just to cool !!

[buffynellie]

do you know what skill level the wooden hms victory is it must be over 200 lol. i collect the magazine im on issue 13

[redslownight]

Can it float?

[bottomgunner]

Great looking ship. is that a kit? Where can you purchase it?Thanks

[jonny7england]

[ilikeanime4ever]

i am in a tight situation im getting a black pearl corsair ship model its the outside planking and boarding the deck board by board im going to have alot of trouble on pls help

[swgic]

Um i'm kind of stuck.

how do you make the keel?

[Hoggamadog]

The keel is a seperate piece of wood glued into place after the hull has been planked. I cut a groove with a Dremel to fit the one in the vid

[swgic]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some HMS Victory plans.

any scale but not too small please.

[leeadamaa]

hey when you plank the bulkheads with 1 layer of wood what do you do about the holes from the pins?

[Hoggamadog]

Dont push the pins in all the way. Leave the heads proud and snip these off. Tap in the remaining pin stub flush with the wood.

[Tools4ModelMaker]

If anyone needs plans or instructions, let me know. Also, I recommend buying a keel klamper and a fair-a-frame. It'll make life a lot simplier.

[GameRock123]

wow

[Britannic1997]

from scratch?

[KINGD1991]

it's a kit

[BulletK1ss]

whats the price of such a modelkitt ?? need to know it! (can it also drive on water, 'dont think so but maybe :-))

[Hoggamadog]

the kit cost £540, not seaworthy!

[Dalmatinac3]

@Hoggamadog Its not worth it if u dont enjoy the hobby yeah. think about it, 540, and if u build it for like 5 yrs, it just like 15 bucks a month lol...well worth it.

[hugetird]

its called an rc ship but im not sure if u build the rc 1ns

[punkoverflow22]

Were can you buy one of these models that is seaworthy?

[ekid3]

muy bueno para quienes,quisieramos aprender modelismo más tan aútentico y bellisimo, pasatiempo.

[ARMOROID5000]

The amount of patients and skills that you excersise building these models absolutly astounds me!

Excellent job! I salute you.

[tkw251070]

Awesome. I built an Airfix type model when I was about 8, that seemed hard then. You have incredible patients and skill.

You ever been to see the Victory? I lived in Pompey for 5 years and took visitors there a lot.

[bribri10307]

where can i find information on how to do the rigging and sails

[trackend]

Billing boats will supply the rigging kit

[GodBlessTheUSA1]

I can't even nail a 2/4 to another and have it lined up right :D

nice work

[dainius11]

nice i make too bat my is plastik

[biostu]

Whick wood did you use for the skin? Balsa wood?

[Hoggamadog]

No balsa used. The frame is ply. all the rest hardwood

[biostu]

ok thanks.

[biostu]

Do you think is better ply wood than balsa for the frame? (is it cheaper than balsa?

[Hoggamadog]

balsa a lot cheaper, but ply is a lot stronger. You need something quite solid to nail into. Balsa just wouldn't do the job

[dancingwithfrogs]

Never use balsa, please. That´s the worst material in model ship building.

[biostu]

Why? all ships i made i used balsa and really worked. plz tell me why?

[dancingwithfrogs]

Your Black Pearl is a phantasy model with a shape which more remembers to dutch ships of the 17th century than to the time of Jack Sparrow. As it´s more a toy than a demanding model, it´s ok to use balsa. Models like that in this video clip would loose a lot of it´s worth if being built of bad material.

[kuwaityyy]

nice work

[M0DEAN]

Do you need to prebend the planks?

[Hoggamadog]

I get some sort of bend in the planks before fixing, lot easier to bend once you have a couple of pins fixed. Used small travel iron to bend once on the hull.

[Gregory1916]

Nice;]

[CutlerBeckett]

How hard is it to build?

[Hoggamadog]

The skills required are pretty simple. The instructions are quite vague though. The patience required is the hardest bit.

[CutlerBeckett]

I know I have the patience, and I would expect the instructions to be vague since it's suppost to be exactly like the real ships. Would you recomend me starting out with the "Independance" first? And what are you using to keep the boards down like that?

[Hoggamadog]

this one is only the second wooden model i have built, i started with quite a small kit from the same company Artisanialatina. The first only cost £65. Learnt loads of techniques and tricks by doing that one first. Plus at that sort of money its not to big an issue if something goes wrong. The victory was over £500. All hull planks fixed with nails, backed up with glue. The planking is something you really need to have experience with, there is a definate knack to it.

[SaltyPineapple]

by the way the music is soooooo annoying:(

[SaltyPineapple]

WOW very good i wouldnt have the patiencelol

[fengkeping]

very nice

[fengkeping]

very nice
