Victory model

After what seems like a never ending choice of makes and scales of the Victory, I have come to a decision on my next build. The version I have chosen is Mantua HMS Victory scaled at 1:98. At this stage I'm doing a lot of research concerning building this amazing ship. John McKay's Anatomy series is a must plus the already mentioned Longridge book.
I also intend on a visit to the Science Museum in London to view his model (see picture). I'll be looking into getting the plans for the ship plus many many pictures of previously built models as inspiration and help. I've put a lot of thought into this version of the Victory and I'm more than happy with it. As soon as I progress I will update here and MSW.
