This is probably the best example of the 'Victory' available as a kit in the world. Its absolutely astounding what detail, and quality that the build has.

Be sure to check out the images on the page, its 1.3 metres long!

Dont be fooled into thinking its another plastic repro, this is wood,brass,hemp,silk, and even copper plates for the hull! All 2500 of them! The construction manual suggests that the project will take between 2400 and 3000 hours to complete! depending on personal skills and craftsmanship....

Oh how much do I want this... I'd sell my grandmother for one. I'm going to order the 'HM Brig Supply' in a few days,just to whet my appetite... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

OMG! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> But for $975 I could probably bbuild a REAL sailboat that I could sail in myself!

(sure is a heckuva nice model, tho!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

'build one myself'

@ Catalina... The cost of building a British 'Ship of the Line' say, a 74 gunner 3rd rate (let alone the 100 gun Victory which was a 1st rate) at todays prices would be in the region of 24 million £'s !
 
Ummm, I said I could build a "sailboat" not a SHIP! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Just meant that if I was going to spend nearly a thousand dollars on something to build, I'd build a real boat I could sail, not a model ship...

It is a REALLY nice model, though!!!
