Rebel Witch Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Recently i headed to Portsmouth England to have a look at the real HMS Victory. I would say the Dev's did an amazing job of detailing the ship for the game. Enjoy the tour! Edited October 14, 2016 by Rebel Witch 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's a shame though too see her without her masts. Any infos if she will eve be completly rigged again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Witch Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 It's a shame though too see her without her masts. Any infos if she will eve be completly rigged again? Probably wont be rigged again because she is in a dry dock display and they removed the masts for stability reasons from what i was told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) The ship appears to be in great condition.Her hull/planks are covered/sealed with plastic/glass fibre. Thus she always looks pretty. There isn't so much left from the original ship as one would estimate. I've been to Portsmouth few years ago and was deeply impressed. Nice photos Edited October 15, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Witch Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 For Lord Nelson's time on the boat this was literally the captains bed or cabin, as they had it displayed. Here is what the rest of the rear cabin looked like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankling Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 They have changed it from when I last look in on the ship. I think those pictures show her under reconstruction as most of the real items below are missing,ie Nelsons cot with the flowers sown in, plus the Admirals cabin has been re painted.I believe its under a three year rework.So most of the deck furniture has been removed for safety. But some very nice pictures Rebel Witch. I am building her at the moment in 1/100 scale.So a work around her was ness. good day gentlemen 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankling Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks guy's. Serk. Used Admiralty paints which they tell me are near as D it to the real thing, but the lighting can be deceptive. I have done all three decks, but can only be seen properly by pictures of the build. Thanks again matey's. Good day Gentlemen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
