I have just received up to issue 119 and no sign of any figures or cutaway parts as yet. Will these all come in part 120 or do the cutaway parts need to be ordered as separate items? This was not made clear at the beginning of the series.
I have been making steady progress and am up to part 88. I hope to have the Victory finished by Christmas. I couldn't wait for the genuine paints and have made do with ordinary acrylic paints approximately matched to the colour photos. The shade of yellow ochre is probably wrong but 200 years down the track who would know what the original was like! I read somewhere that there was something like seven shades of yellow ochre that could be made from the pigments from that quarry in France. Also I have opted to 'customise' my Victory by finishing all the decorations and and details in gold even though I am doing the painted version with the black and yellow striping. I just think it looks better.
I will post photos in due course.
I have already started collecting Sovereign of the Seas for the next project.

Thanks for that Stevie.
Definately no sign of any figures in Issue 118 and 119 here in Australia so I guess they will be comming in a later pack together with the larger 20 and 30lb cannon for the lower decks
