Hallo,

Looks like you've achieved some beautiful shaping in the hull!

[Wellesley]

Welcome to the forum @brick_models!

Looking forward to see more.
Also already have seen you on Instagram (@L.Simplexity).

Hope you find some great inspiration and techniques here. But from what I've seen so far, you already have a clear image in your head on how you want to do it.

[Feuer Zug]

Quite the hull you've created. Can't wait to see the finished work (or more WIP).

Building the hull was not so easy. So far I am very satisfied.

I am glad that you like my moc. There will still be a lot to discover.  ;-)

I started with the HMS Victory in June 2020. I abandoned the first attempt. I didn't get any further with the construction of the hull. I didn't have a proper template. 

For the second attempt I bought the book The 100-Gun Ship Victory, Antomy of the ship. With the blueprints, the construction of the Lego ship could be done. 

 

A new update from the build of my moc, HMS Victory. My moc will have a full interior. You can see that well in the photo. 

 

And a few more photos of the inside.

 

View into the lower gun deck of HMS Victory.

Every ship has a galley and needs an open one to make food for the hungry crew. On HMS Victory there is the so-called Brodie stove.

Oh these are lovely books! I recently had opportunity to explore "The Ships of Christopher Columbus", great stuff!

It's going to be a great ship!  The interior is very detailed and interesting. The Brodie stove is very well built after the original.  We are very happy to see continuous photos of the different construction phases.

[Achilles099]

Ambitious project, great progress so far!

What's the length of the gundeck in studs going to be?

[Professor Thaum]

OMG !

What an amazing start ! We want all the photos ! Full details ! More, please, more !

That's great, a true masterpiece.

Hats off !

This is excellent... One thing grossly overlooked in most models

New Update 

At the moment I am only making progress in small steps. I'm looking at the details and thinking about whether the construction is going in the right direction. For example, I started to build the figurehead. It is still a prototype! It's not the right colours yet. When I feel that I am satisfied, then the figurehead will be built in the final colours.

I am very curious about your opinion.

I didn't count the studs. but the scale is 1:42. I would have to count the studs.

Thank you very much for the great praise! I will definitely report a lot more. Unfortunately, construction is going a bit slowly at the moment. But there will definitely be more photos.

Thank you very much. I want to depict as many details as possible on the ship.

A few more photos of the new ship's stern of HMS Victory in minifigure scale. I have rebuilt the ship's stern in the last few days. I didn't really like the first version. The first attempt was mainly based on slopes.

A few photos showing the overall construction progress.

Thank you for sharing these updates!

This ship is going to be MASSIVE!

Do you have any estimate on what the final measurements might be?

 

[A_Forest_of_Lego]

It looks great! I love that you are building the interior too!

Does that include the height of the flag pole on top of the main mast?

[Yperio_Bricks]

The keel and hull look fantastic and the size is most impressive! I am really curious to see more of your project in the future.

The minifigures look tiny. I guess that's what i felt when i was a child my family and me visited England for holidays and we went to Portsmouth and of course visited the HMS Victory 

 

[Captain Braunsfeld]

This is going to be amazing!

[Barbatos]

This is a masterpiece! Congratulations!
