Hi All,

Just a couple of things I'd like to ask/say:-

1) After reading through the ASK ADMIN forum (haven't been on here in a while) I noticed there was a few people declaring that they won't be needing their figurines. I would like to chuck my hat into the ring of begging and say that I'll gladly give any excess figurines a good home and even pay the postage for their journey.

2) It's probably out there somewhere (but I'm being lazy), does anyone know how many parts this partwork is made up of?


Cheers shipmates

i seem to recall it was around the 80 mark which sounds a lot but just fore some perspective when victory went into action she would have 60 marines on her poop deck alone!!

I am also on the look out for more figures anybody know a good place to purchase them?

Same here. Available if anyone wants them.

Do you think DAG would be able to reroute them when they are ready to send out?

In response to the request for figures. It might be worth your while looking at Minifigs or Essex miniatures, both companys do a good range of napoleonic figures including naval figuerines.
Although it has been quite a while since I bought any miniatures I am quite sure both companies are still in business.Confused

Sorry just joking, I never imagined DAG would be able to do that.

I still haven't got my second drill bit yet.

To z8000783, daffy09 and benny, many thanks for the offers guys, I'll PM you when we start to receive the figurines and arrange transfer of funds to cover P&P and to give you the address to send to.

To Tomick, is that a cast in concrete 120 parts or will there be additional parts introduced towards the end?

Cheers

Admin or the call centre could confirm, but as far as I know the series will be complete and end at 120.

Hi Petpole

You are talking about a dock next to Victory. It is unlikely that you would have seen Victory moored against a dock due to her large size. She would normally have been anchored at moorings such as Spithead, when at Portsmouth and in commission and would have been re-supplied by boats and lighters.

Just a thought

And if you havent reallised by now i love the pain of it all and the misses has got me on a drip for the affects. LOL LOL LOL LOL

Hi Petpole,

As far as I know the lighters in use from Portsmouth and other naval dockyards in the 1800's resembled whaleboats with a slightly shallower draft, and the ratio of beam width to overall length favouring a wider beam. Look at page 8 and 9 of issue 25 for the general idea of shape and dimensions. For a more accurate picture of the vessels used you will need to contact the dockyard museum in Portsmouth.

Some more information for you Petpole.

It would appear that all sorts of vessals were employed as lighters. Some of the smaller gunned ships of the 1800 - 1815 period were de-commissioned and finished their days serving as dockyard lighters after the end of the french wars.

If you search for 'lighters' on the National Maritime Museum site NMM - Lighters you will find references to several plans for purpose built lighters of the period. I haven't so far found any good images to help.
