Yay!!! The HMS Victory returns. Hope you can keep this one going... I for one love all the planking videos. There is so little on planking available, so the more you can show us the less we have to guess or learn by trial and error. Thank you again for resurrecting this beauty. Looking forward to #18.

Episode 17 was published on 23 April (on You Tube, can't see it in the video section here though) but can't see anything later than that! __________________ Best regards Hugh

I have the kit and stopped building as I wanted to watch this build series first. I sure hope the series continues.

Bobby, I have just watched 17 of your build video's, I'd like to suggest a simple method to cut the gun ports. I am a floorlayer by trade and often cut 6mm and 9mm plyboard by knife. The blade....concave for stanley type knives, the knife...Dolphin(nice ergodynamic shape so sits in hand comfortobly) you could use cheap stanley, but for £12 get a dolphin (Amazon or Ebay) you could probobly free hand, but suggest you use the template/straight edge to start cut as you show for model aircraft panel line rescribes. Main thing is angle of cut, you start 90 degress to surface to start the cut (like starting a panel line), but then cant or angle knife over by 30-45 degrees so making the underside of cut smaller (you can free hand this cut as your blade should follow the 90 degree cut you started with, though take care with your horizontal cuts as blade will want to follow the grain of your wood planks). The reason for this is basic material movement, cutting at 90 degrees the wood needs to seperate ( to allow width of blade to move through the wood) on a sheet this won't happen, but by cutting at an angle the wood lifts as well as resisting separating, believe me this really helps. As long as you always angle into the waste cut, you'll find it very easy I often free hand cut complicated cuts around door architraves with no problem as long as I cant my blade Hope this tip helps __________________ Blood, Sweat & Lots of Beers Keith, Stockport, N.W.

It's a real pleasure to see the master shipwright of the Genessis shipyard working again on the HMS Victory. Someday soon I will be able to purchase the full DeAgostini kit and be able to begin building this wonderful model, but I think I'll wait until Bobby finishes his videos of the build. His common sense approach to the build yields videos that are elegant, refreshing, and always informative. And, although time is important to me, I would rather wait for the rest of these matchless videos before I embark on the adventure of building this magnificent model. Bobby's videos are the best I have ever seen anywhere and I wish him much success with his upcoming videos.
