Cant even get these in the UK anymore...I ordered some from the Deagostini shop (they said and still say they are in stock) after 2 months I chased my delivery and was told they are no longer in stock, and about a month after that i got a cheque in the post for my money back. A sorry for the inconvenience would have been nice :( Raven(Colin)

The manufacture lead time on the copper tiles is very long (approx 12 weeks), which means if we are out of stock, its a very long wait.

I can appreciate that Mr T. the impression I got from emails from Customer support was that the publication was finished (In the UK) and as such they would not be getting more stock of the tiles. I would have been quite happy to wait for an order especially as i am a long way from the point of fitting the tiles. Raven(Colin)

Hi Ponty If you still have trouble getting the copper tiles in the future you could try this http://forum.model-space...sts&t=12022&p=3
also have a look at Plymouth57's build thats where i got the idea from. Good luck Paul Building: DelPrado HMS Victory. Building: DeAgostini Sovereign Of The Seas.

Hi Barry I also did a tutorial for this a while back if it's any use to you - http://forum.model-space...aspx?g=posts&t=7800
As for the tile packs, they do sometimes come up on ebay, not very often though. Also, if money is no object  - cmb sell them pre nailed here They will also ship worldwide. Cheers Steve

The CMB tiles are not the correct scale for the model which the DeAgostini tiles are.

Hi Guys, I have a call into DeAgostini here in the US to find out what, if any, the availability will be for the tiles here in the States. I'll post my findings here. Tired, Old, and Cranky!

Thanks for the link Steve. That idea looks brilliant! If I cant get the tiles, I'm going to make a go at it this way. Thanks much, Barry Building - DeAgostini HMS Victory, McLaren MP4-23, Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Lamborghini Countach
