Great - thanks for the links and pictures. I can notice some differences between this kit and the scale models. It'll be interesting once I get done to go back and compare. Again, merci!

And here is the boat rack installed. A boatswain mates nightmare trying to keep this all nice and clean. I also think it really shows how short these pre-dreadnoughts were when you realize how long the ship's boats are.

I'm working on the aft bridge deck now.

Nice work Greg.
Those things are a challenge.
A similar assembly appeared later in Golden Bear's USS Iowa. With that model he supplied a template to assist the builder in getting it all straight.
I don't know if he supplied a template with Victoria, but you pulled it off in fine fashion.

Coming along nicely, still. I have the stern done now and have moved to the bow and main battery. Lots of little details to do yet. There are still the 6 pdr, 3 pdr and nordenfelts to put together.
