HMS Victory update

This time no pics, but I had to blog a bit on my progress. This ship is MADDENING!! Definitely not for any beginner, unless you like pulling your hair out by the fist full. I am not a beginner but even I have bald spots. The directions are so vague that it is difficult to follow them. My next step takes me to the bow section and looks VERY intimidating. Somehow I will get through this, but I don't know how. Maybe I should have stuck this model away or sold it on ebay for a nice profit, but I am beginning to regret starting it. If you get this kit beware! HELLER 1/100 HMS VICTORY is nothing to fool with. It will challenge even the most seasoned pro. I have seen pics of some Amazing builds that put mine to shame in areas. Well anyway, had to buy more tweezers, brushes and glue. Already gone through too many paint brushes and glue to think about. By the time this build is over with I will have sunk nearly $200. or more into it. I know it will be worth it, but still...OMG What was I thinking?!!!
