I’m going to need a bigger workshop

You don't need a workshop - you need a shipyard and a full work crew to build this model! WOW!!

About 15 years ago I visited Portsmouth historic dockyard where the real Victory is located. In one of the adjacent display rooms was a very large model of the Victory which I spoke to one of the attendants about. It’s a stunning piece of modelling, in fact it’s so precise that he said that when they wanted to correct or improve anything on the real ship they actually consulted this model it’s so accurate. He said that the modeller, who I think I recall him saying was an American, even created his own model ropewalks to ensure that all the sheets and rigging lines were made in the correct pattern. I don’t know which impressed me the most, the real Victory or 5hat model.

Amazing craftsmanship

That is a real piece of work, I see built for a film and took, amazingly just three months to construct. A fascinating collection of finely detailed sailing ships made mainly out of lamb/ mutton bone by French Napoleonic prisoners of war is held at the National Trust property of Arlington Court near Barnstaple, Devon. Well worth a visit and a viewing!

A nice detail about the current discovery of the original ''yellow''' hull painting: The model is accurate and `actual` here as well. Was it changed, when the old colour was found ?

Beautiful model. Thanks for posting John.

This is based at Chatham Naval Dockyards i believe John? I took a shed load of pics of this beauty to aid me in my build ( when i get the space to build...). She is absolutely stunning ❤

I wish I new more about this spectacular build. How many hours, how many modelers, and what was the eventual build cost. Was everything hand made & scratch built? Truly phenomenal.

Absolutely stunning model, thanx 4 posting john

Buitifull. For scale that is about the size of 2 full size vans and probably about 24ft tall. Hats off to the builders

Jeez unbelievable. Amazing work.

It’s a film prop, looks fantastic on film but does not bear close scrutiny.

They say you need to build a model pf the Victory at least 11 ft in length in order to get all the detail. I built my model of the Victory some 30 odd years ago and stands at 4 ft. but this one blows my mind

Stunning tribute to a glorious ship.

Fabulous!!

oh my lord thats huge I want 1

Amazing! Where is this model located?

Three months? I wonder who many were working on it? I guess Mr. Google will send me down the rabbit's hole on this one.

Sweet baby Jesus, that's a big model

Hey john I had a quick question, how can I get my hands on the 1:72 scale hms victory 1:1 plans? I'm wanting to build one from scratch but still want some plans to go off of for measurements without buying an expensive kit. Thanks

Looks a great day out John

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Does it float or can it be sailed 🤔.

That’s a great job

Great model ,have you seen the film John?

3 months to build ?! .....someones pulling someones peg leg

Magnificent

Only three months to construct?

Шикарный вид !

Were is that model located?

Scale envy, John???

Well John, what's stopping you ? Apart the need for a new house, not the model for the spare bedroom. 😂😂😂

what is scale or approximate scale ?

did the Victory have Royals?

You could do it two days....airfix

Where is this housed?

A great shame about the idiotic pink colour. It was stabbed at by sampling _selected_ specks of old paint, but took _no account_ of how the cheap paint used at the time changes over hundreds of years exposed to the elements and did zero research into that problem. No artist who portrayed the Victory near the time rendered it in this colour, and no written account of the time mentions this colour or anything close to it, but all speak of some form of dull yellow. - 'Ochre' / 'Sad yellow' and so on. The 'experts' got it wrong.

I HATE THE MUZAK. DRC'd.

Unfortunately there is no perception of size. The video needs someone standing behind it for a moment.
