I started this conversion some time ago, but I finally finished it and while it may not be totally accurate, (I tried my best) I think it's a pretty good rendition of HMS Victory of 1765.

From the same trip with Martin... Nelson...

His face was reconstructed from a mask he had made shortly before he was killed. Originally it was thought to be a death mask, but it was confirmed later that it was a 'living' wax mask and he actually sat for it... it appears he was quite a vain man, despite being universally loved. They also used some information from a profile sketch that was done for another 'suitor', which he claimed was the closest likeness he had seen (many of his portraits were 'enhanced' to convey whatever image of him the artist wanted to convey). This means that this waxwork is probably the most accurate picture of Nelson we will ever get.

That 'suitor' wasn't Lady Hamilton by the way... it seems our Nelson was a bit of a 'ladies man'... He was surprisingly small, but apparently well loved by his men (as well as a myriad of ladies, by the sound of it!), and far from being a 'cabin' Admiral, he fought alongside them on his deck and was noted as being brave, daring and yet considerate to his crews and captains.

Interesting info about HMS Victory colors at http://www.hms-victory.com/restoration-log/hms-victory-repainted-battle-trafalgar-colours during Trafalgar battle:

"Victory was painted in bands of graphite grey and a colour that ranges from a creamy-orange to almost salmon pink in certain lights."
So not black and yellow.

Pretty ugly looking to. When I finally get to build mine I think I will follow what the period artwork portrayed the ship as, as it looks more like the “idealized” image of the ship that we have in our collective heads.

Screenshots from the youtube video about new Victory's colors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmNXRWtQ-P0.
On the first picture note the difference between original "traditional" yellow on the right and "new" cream-pink-orange on the left.

Victorian coin found after 127 years under the mast of Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory
21 October 2021.

A coin placed under the mast of Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and discovered in perfect condition 127 years later goes on show today as part of Trafalgar Day commemorations.
The farthing – worth ¼ pence when issued in 1894 under the reign of Queen Victoria – was uncovered in the base plate of the 32-metre, 26-tonne mast section which was temporarily removed from Victory as part of the latest phase of her restoration.

Image

The coin goes on display in the National Museum of the Royal Navy’s newest gallery – HMS Victory: The Nation’s Flagship, which charts the history of Britain’s most famous warship and those who served in her.

The tradition of placing coins under their ship masts may date back to Roman times – although it’s not practised by today’s shipbuilders.

This particular coin was put in place when rotten Douglas fir masts on Victory installed in the 1850s were replaced by ones taken from HMS Shah in 1894.

The Head of Conservation at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Diana Davis, found it when she was examining the base plate, once the mast had been lifted out.....

Any suggestions for an off-the-shelf bottle or tin of model paint that reasonably matches the new (original) "cream-pink-orange" color?

If not, any suggestions on a mix?

Hi,

Hope this link will help you https://modelshipworld.com/topic/17225-hms-victory-2017-re-fit-colours/. They tried to solve the same problem.

Sample from that link:
Image

From https://modelshipworld.com/topic/15934-victorys-pinkish-paint-scheme-and-an-update/
"Andrew Baines, the head of historic ships at the museum, said: "We are calling it Victory Hull Ochre. It varies in different light, but I believe it is close to a pale terracotta colour."

And that color was in combination with "graphite grey" (e.g. very dark grey), not with the pure black.

HMS Victory conservation project to spend £35m on renovation:

A £35 million conservation project to renovate HMS Victory including replacing rotting planks has been announced on the 100th anniversary of the warship being brought into dry dock.

Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson’s flagship was brought into dry dock 2 at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard 100 years ago, where it has remained as the world’s oldest commissioned warship and the flagship of the First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff.......

Sorry to take so long in responding. Your post helps a lot. I'll start with Tamiya XF15 and tweak it a bit to better match photos.

Cheers!
