This three parts are the original print for one channel in the kit. Altogether they should show a thickness of 2 mm.
In the middle of the part I use a 0,9 mm thick cardboard and cut some grooves, where I glue 3 anlge brackets made of 1 mm iron wire. This wires I will glue into some holes...

After finishing of the gratings for the upper deck I glued them onto the deck. The printed borders were a little bit to big and I made some little frames to cover this failure.
Before working on with the decks I had to make the channels, because for the mounting of them it is also...
After having an idea about making the gratings I wanted to try it out. First I printed it out to 0,4 mm cardboard and prepare the tools.
Took the sharp knife and cut some small slots.
Did the same with another print but the other direction and glue both to another piece of...

This time the mounting of the fenders was a fully success.

Thanks to all for their attention to my build of the Victory.
@timhinds ... You're right - this build need a lot of patience ... and you're right too, that the formers look quite good - so perhaps I start a new thread to show the formers of a historical ship in a complaisant look?

The painting for one side (port side) is ready. After making the coloring with airbrush I used dry brushing and washing to reach a smart weathered effect. The colors were used after RAL standard (Yellow - RAL 1017, Red - RAL 3011, Black - RAL...
@Nemesis7485: Thank you! The time for the rigging will come, but I think it will be end of next year.
To get the right position for the gunwales I used transparent airbrush masking film and mark the positions with a needle.
