Looks fantastic glad I took your advice and brought Daniel set. The difference is amazing. I’m discussing with a member on one of the Victory sites about 1/100 3D printing furniture for the main cabins.
Well what a transformation Alex. When you first showed the PE and Resin upgrades I had my doubts as to how much better they would make the Victory, but now seeing the cabin windows with PE inserts and the much more detailed Resin hull ladder with Admirals door, I am so impressed. Of course now I must get these aftermarket parts for my kit. See what you did?
Great to watch, appreciate the honesty in your commentary. I have two versions of this kit, a recent release and a original 70s version which took a long time to find. I will be starting one in the coming months. The bottom windows on the stern are sash windows and actually open.
Hi Alex, I walked around the Victory last year and the inside of the gun ports and around them are painted bright red, also the name plate on the back is the length of 7 windows not 5, great job on the model, look forward to the next one.
Wow it's been along time it has been That I have seen this channel and wow your subs have INCREASED well done. And I love that slogan "modelling with a smile" it really makes my day. I came back to this channel because I started modelling and I am glad that your still doing models. These vids will definitely help me. Thank you
Hello Alex it is always a pleasure to watch your videos.It is a bit like watching Jimmy Page playin guitar😃A master at work👌 Since i re-started the modell hobby i'm so amazed what happened in meantime.39 years is a long time,but being a musician takes a lot of time,but like everything it pays well if you doin it right(the skills)However being creative is a wonderful thing.~ Best wishes and blessings to Portugal⚓✌😎✌🎸
Alex well worth the extra work so much difference looks absolutely amazing👌 and the red just seems to look true to me, really enjoyed this episode looking forward to the next installment, stay safe 🙂
Before you even mentioned the thumb vs X-acto scenario it was giving me the willies watching it cause I'm all to familiar with how quickly things can happen. If you haven't already you should get yourself an inexpensive harbor freight rotary multitool
Using a Rotary multi tool for modeling completely reinvigorated my interest in the hobby as up until I got one I was unsatisfied with my results on the fit and finish of things as I never had the patients to hand trim, sand, cut, smooth with files blades and paper. The speed and ease a multi tool incorporates into quality results got me back into modeling
Another fantastic instalment Alex, thank you. I'm not sure if this is correct, because I believe there's still some debate amongst historians, but the inner sides of the hull, between decks, was painted red to hide any blood splashed on it during battle, so as not to demoralise the crew. Having said that, I've visited HMS Victory quite a few times and the bulkheads on the gundecks were painted white.
To add a further point to the above comment, HMS Victory is currently undergoing extensive re-preservation and during this her current 1925 paint scheme has been found to be incorrect for her time during the Battle of Trafalgar. The 'orangey' Buff paint on the hull banding is too 'orangey' and she is currently being repainted in much more muted ochre/buff colour bands. As Robert Mazur pointed out below an excellent reference video for this is 'HMS Victory in her True Colours': ruclips.net/video/KmNXRWtQ-P0/видео.html
Hi, Alex. I had the pleasure of visiting HMS Victory at the Portsmouth Dockyards back in 2019. Victory looks like she could cast off her lines and set sail at a moment's notice! She has been incredibly maintained/preserved and is in absolutely pristine condition from stem to stern. As displayed, the interior color of the gunwales on the quarter deck is the ochre you have used on your gun carriages. On the lower gun decks, the interior walls are white with red trim on the inside surfaces surrounding each gun port. As for the guns themselves, the wheels are unfinished wood with a hub painted the same color as the carriage. There are some smaller guns (carronades) where the wheels are painted black. I cannot speak for the historical accuracy but it certainly appears that no detail has been spared to display Victory as she appeared around the time frame of the Battle of Trafalgar. I trust the Royal Navy's archives have been consulted to assure accuracy down to the last detail. I did an audio tour of the ship. There was no in person guide to answer specific questions of interest to us modelers. Keep up the good work with your Victory build. I am enjoying every minute of it. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I have been on HMS victory, the gun decks are painted white, everything, except the deck. when the gun ports are closed (most of the time) it was very dark down there, candles were the only source of light. white reflected candle light.
Can someone help me when I tape off the side of the model to put the yellow paint on the pain just sleeps under the tape what type of tape should I use because I’ve used several and all of them allow the tape to see ponder and I have to strip the whole all over again which I’ve done four times now and it’s driving me mad
Easy Dave... Sometimes its better to take a breath and look, think, feel... Easy... Have you primed the Hull before painting the color? If not... Comeback... Prime... And re Paint it... Did you use Vallejo Primer? Sometimes its better to use a neutral soay can primer from Tamiya, humbrol... Even car primer...
If the Paint you are using doesn t deliver results... Try another brand... But always... Have fun don t stress and go slowly... Allow the Paint to set...
De agostini models do a HMS Victory paint set with ALL the Colors required ie ochre red french blue Matt black copper walnut etc and it’s acrylic which sprays nice too 👍
Ainda estou a dar voltas a cabeça onde posso arranjar em madeira umas travessas (que encaixam em ambas partes do casco).. em plástico têm tendência a partir e nem sei onde arranjar isso e madeira para inserir dentro dos mastros para dar força também
Paint detectives uncover true colours of Nelson's victorious flagship--a guardian article regarding the paint scheme of the HMS Victory--this might help
Hi, so there's a lot of conflicting information about the colour of the internal gun deck walls. In summary, current understanding is that Victory had the red paint in her early life, but this was changed sometime between 1803 and late 1805 to whitewash and yellow ochre colours, which are the ones she's currently displaying in Portsmouth. The decks themselves were natural wood colour, unpainted. It's a difficult choice though as almost all models made over the past 100 plus years have the red paint, so that's the colour most people associate with her, even if we know today whitewash and ochre is more historically accurate. Personally, I'd go with white.
As said on previous video, I disagree with the red colour, I saw the HMS Victory not long ago, and it was unpainted, or an off-white, except Captain Hardy, and Nelsons cabins which are a blue colour, and the below the lower gun deck was white.
So what about the relatively recent discovery that the yellow ochre on the hull isn’t historically accurate. They discovered it’s more of a pinkish type of color, which they are currently repainting the real Victory to match. Decisions decisions.
Awesome build, still having fun with my HMS Victory Revell 1:225. I wished to ask you, I plan on buying some equipment and so far I have: - Airbrush - Brushes - Tweezers - Sanding paper - Pliers - Revell needle glue - Tube glue - Sanding sticks I think those are all, and I'm planning to buy "brush" glue, and a hand drill.

Guilty as hell!!!😂😂😂😂😂
The photoetch make a huge difference.....no doubt keeping that smile on your face!
Great work Alex. It was red so that the gunners weren't freaking out as much when during the battle the place was laden with red blood.
Great to watch, appreciate the honesty in your commentary. I have two versions of this kit, a recent release and a original 70s version which took a long time to find. I will be starting one in the coming months. The bottom windows on the stern are sash windows and actually open.

Very impresive work, Alex! I can't even complete the 1/225 Victory so i know how much effort it takes to buils a ship model.
Keep going at it! Slowly and you will get it done
Fantastic work Alex. Your next magnificent work is about to take place. I'm really looking forward to finishing. Greetings. Aleš 😉👍

I am researching the red color... Both existed but this ochre is not the One it had when the interior was red...

Thank you so much for your comment and help! Happy new year! May 2021 be a lot better than this One... Its not hard😊
What thickness balsa wood are you using?
I was wondering 1/100 scale hms victory curious is finished or not i havent seen any more videos lately?
Excellent work. Why didn’t you paint the Victory letters before applying them to the model?
Looking good. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Very nice ideas
I have been on HMS victory, the gun decks are painted white, everything, except the deck. when the gun ports are closed (most of the time) it was very dark down there, candles were the only source of light. white reflected candle light.
I re painted She in white. Thank you
Bonjour mon ami Alex 👍Hello my friend Alex 👍awesome job and very nice kit thanks for sharings congrats buddy good morning of France 👍🇫🇷
Salut! Merci
Alex I would love to build this famous ship, can you inform me where I can buy this model. I live in Perth Western Australia.
I think Heller site still hás this one for sale!
thanks how do I get that information @@AlexModeling
Can someone help me when I tape off the side of the model to put the yellow paint on the pain just sleeps under the tape what type of tape should I use because I’ve used several and all of them allow the tape to see ponder and I have to strip the whole all over again which I’ve done four times now and it’s driving me mad
Please get back to me before I burn the model in desperation LOL

Very nice!😍
what's the glue at the beginning?
CA glue
Looking great and well worth the effort of putting in the etch, but the 'I' in 'VICTORY' doesn't look straight to me!
After you shave off the victory letters do you notice a lack of the wood grain pattern beneath the new lettering?
Yes i did... And i sand it down all around
Love it keep it up
This is great
I love your works. I wish, I can be modelling, how you
If you practise and have fun you will be even better than me um sure of it! Have fun
Great job looks nice
U should build the uss Arizona
Amazing!!!!
Finally
How long have you been modelling for?
For some years now. Re started and created this channel on 2013 but stoped for almost 17 years before
Quick tip to avoid bends in your etchings, don't cut them on a surface with give in it like a craft self healing board.
Thats why on the vídeo i use a cerâmica hard tile
Thank you
@@AlexModeling wasn't sure if you pointed it out. It was more of a general tip for everyone reading comments.
Oh! Ok! Thank you for that
It looks rely nice

Alex try getting your hands on trumpeter chisel tools they r great on removing finer details and a hell of alot safer than using a hobby knife
Thank you! I will follow your advice! Thank you!
Your more than welcome my friend if u can't find any let me know and I can send you a set.
If you sell those Im more than glad to pay it to you and you send it! These days with a Simple PayPal transaction we can do wonders
No need for payment alex they don't cost a lot i will fb message you as i will need a postal address.
Oh! Thank you! Really apreciate the gesture!
Olá Alex. Se precisares de partes de madeira já cortadas diz. Eu este fim de semana vou ver umas tintas e pincéis numa loja no Porto. Abraço.

Awesome build, still having fun with my HMS Victory Revell 1:225.
I wished to ask you, I plan on buying some equipment and so far I have:
- Airbrush
- Brushes
- Tweezers
- Sanding paper
- Pliers
- Revell needle glue
- Tube glue
- Sanding sticks
I think those are all, and I'm planning to buy "brush" glue, and a hand drill. What else do you suggest I get? And any tips on rigging?
Also, here's the playlist I usually listen to when making HMS Victory. It gives that "pirate" vibe:
