ICTORY
Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line.
Ordered by the Navy Board on 6th June 1759, Victory was designed by Sir Thomas Slade.
Construction commenced on 23rd July 1759 under the Master Shipwright John Lock at Chatham
Dockyard. Launched on 7th May 1765 and after initial sea trials, she was laid up in ordinary for
thirteen years until France joined the War of American Independence. On 12th March 1778, Victory
received her first commission under Captain John Lindsay and so her career had begun.

  • Page 4: Before You Begin

    Gently sand the shaded area, sternwards, until you have a taper from the bearding line to 3mm wide at the stern. Continue as instructed with the second planking and upon completion the width at the stern will again be 5mm. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 5 3. Make full use of glues and pins to secure the patterns, even though some of the bulkhead top sections will be removed during later building stages. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 6 Refer to the drawings and make sure that the rear part of pattern (270) and (272) run in a uniform manner (Photo 006), any excess material should be removed from the front edge. Photo 005 Photo 006 The quarterdeck (446) can now be removed and the whole assembly set aside to dry thoroughly. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 7 The building cradle (43, 44 & 45) can now be constructed and secured to the building board of your choice. Photo 007 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 8 The main quarter gallery inside pattern (373) should now locate into the two slots in the top gunport pattern (270), at the same time the downward and outward angle of the top quarter gallery pattern (215) should be maintained, (Photo 008). Fig 001 Photo 008 Photo 009 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 9 With the lower stern counter pattern in place, you can attach the brass etched double door vent hinges as shown (Fig 003), and painted black. Fig 003 Note upper tab orientation © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 10 This area will be planked at a later stage because eight of the centre gunports have to be lined first and this cannot be done until the upper deck inner bulwark pattern (275) has been fitted. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 11 Continue planking until you reach a position over the top of the gunports you have already lined. Your last plank at this stage should just come below the last gunport on the quarterdeck. All work will now concentrate on the ships side. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 12 Note: the top plank of this wale terminates at the beakhead bulkhead. Photo 010 Photo 011 Photo 012 Photo 013 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 13 90 degrees to the keel. Do not glue the barrels into place at this stage. They should be painted black and their muzzle facings painted red ochre as shown (Photo 14). Photo 014 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 14 The coamings on the outside of the gratings are made from 3x4mm walnut strip. The coaming should be level with the grating. When the grating assemblies are in place, cut out and glue the shot garlands (244-251) into place as shown on Plan Sheet 3. Fig 004 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 15 It will be an advantage to the builder to build the carriages one size at a time, as required. For all guns, the tackles are made up of 0.1mm natural thread together with pairs of 2mm single blocks and the breaching ropes are of 0.5mm natural thread. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 16 There is also one eyelet directly behind the carriage secured to the deck as shown on Plan Sheet 3. Once the rigging is in place, brush on watered down PVA over the ropes and blocks. Again, time effort and patience is required for best results. Photo 017 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 17 Directly in front of the ladder sides will sit the balusters to hold the ladder handrail, they should be glued in place onto the deck now, as shown (Fig 006). The ladder itself will be fitted later. Photo 019 Balusters before sanding. Balusters after sanding. Balusters after staining walnut. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 19 Plan Sheet 3, ‘Steam trunk assembly’. NB, the assembly is not square. It sits on the upper gun deck as shown on Plan Sheet 3 and under the forward hatch gratings on the forecastle and is therefore best glued into place during the quarterdeck fitting stage. Fig 008 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 20 When thoroughly dry, the upper deck fore brace bitt pins (91) and bitt (162) can be assembled and fitted as shown on Plan Sheet 3 & 5. Again the distance between the outer edges of the bitt pins should be 38mm. This whole assembly should be painted black. Fig 009 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 23 Using (Fig 011) and Plan Sheet 4, ‘Section through bulkhead 5’ for reference the forecastle breast beam supports (193) are also fitted along the lining. The forecastle breast beam (60 & 338) completes the whole assembly. This assembly should be painted black. Fig 011 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 27 Note: these kevels all sit on the deck. Identify the quarterdeck pinrails (254 & 255). Using Plan Sheet 4 for reference, glue and pin the pinrails in place. Fig 015 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 28 (wood effect) with a copper coloured chimney. This should be glued to the quarterdeck (half under the poop), and secured with two 0.25mm natural thread guy ropes (one either side), to the deck between brass eyelets (480). Photo 024 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 29 The upper gun deck, fore of the beakhead bulkhead, should now be planked with 1x4mm tanganyika, remembering to clear the hole for the bowsprit as you progress. The deck should now be flush with the centre plank of the top wale as mentioned earlier. Apply several coats of matt polyurethane varnish to the deck. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 30 Using brass etched eyelets, 2mm single blocks and 0.1mm natural thread, rig the carronade in position on the forecastle as shown (Photo 026). Two copper eyelets are also attached to the carriage as shown to accommodate a breach rope of 0.5mm natural thread. Photo 026 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 31 To fit the rail, a 0.75mm hole will need to be drilled into the top face of the bow main rail at the start and end points, a 90 degree bend is then made in each end of the rail and glued into these holes, remembering to pass the rail through the stanchion first. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 37 Note: a pair of holes (sheave for the main topsail braces and mizzen topsail sheets, when rigged) should be drilled fore to aft through the mizzen topsail sheet bitts approximately 6mm off the deck, (Fig 021). Fig 021 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 38 Identify the brass buckets (695). These will each need to be cross drilled with a 0.5mm drill, as close to the top edge as possible. Form a handle through the holes with 0.1mm natural thread and paint the bucket and thread black. Hang a bucket on each bucket peg and secure with a drop of super glue. Fig 022 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 41 Note: take care when painting the deadeyes and strops to ensure the deadeyes are rotated to the correct alignment for rigging as shown on Plan Sheet 12, as after painting it will be almost impossible to rotate them. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 42 Note: the aft pair of chainplates on the main channel will foul the rigol below, this is not an error and a section of the rigol should be filed out to accommodate the chainplates. Fig 024 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.

    Run a length of chain from the holes in the spectacle plate to a copper eyelet positioned under each casting drop of the quarter gallery, as shown on Plan Sheet 5. The chain should be painted black. Fig 027 © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 45 0.7mm hole drilled into the capping rail. The closed hammock cranes (523) are located at the foremost and aftermost positions. Using 0.1mm natural thread, rig the hammock cranes from front to back, one length of thread inboard and one length of thread outboard. © 2003 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 46 Trafalgar (they were removed during the re-fit of 1803), the barricade still remained. Likewise the six gunports (three per side) were also still present in the barricade and they should be cut from the barricade now, using Plan Sheet 5 for their positioning.
