If you want it BUY it, we stainers should get a refund or discount on that issue. After all I'm sure there will be another thread about how bad the copper paint is and that there is better stuff out there, just as there seem to be threads on how poor this bit or that thing is There are of course lots of other parts supplied in 65 besides a pot of copper paint! In the same manner, would you also ask for a part refund on parts you choose not to use which are supplied in a normal kit?

Copper Update....
Owing to the HMS Victory copper tiling set taking longer than we had hoped in development, the official build is going to feature a copper painted hull, rather than it having copper tile's.
However, complete instructions will be made available for everyone who has decided they want to copper tile their HMS Victory hull. These instructions will shortly be added into the articles page, and will be posted in a separate section on the forum.
DeAgostini aim to have the copper tiling sets available in the online shop within the next week – and will post up the information as soon as the stocks are received into the warehouse, an order form will also be included within issue 66.
The cost of the tiling pack is £59.99 including delivery, the tile's are to the scale of the model, each tile measuring approx 14.2 x 3.9mm, and approx 4,500 per set.

Thanks for the update, however question, will this be a limited stock, or something deag will carry for some time? for those of us who will need to budget for the additional cost and cant order straight away.

The copper tiles are a bespoke item which at the size being delivered are unique to DeAgostini; there is limited stock available but with the option to re-order, though lead times are quite lengthy.
Therefore I would advise that you order sooner rather than later to ensure that your order is fulfilled swiftly.

Thanks Tomick
I was expecting a price of £100 plus, so £59.99 is a very welcome suprise for me. As you say that stock is limited, does that mean that those of us still in the mid 50's of the build will find that when we finally get to issue 66 with the order form, DeAg will have no stock left and find ourselves waiting even longer to tile our pride and joy?

It certainly is a good price considering the quantity your getting, where the average cost of just 100 tiles is around £2.99
Its simply not practical or wise for any business to order in massive quantities of a bespoke item where it's total sales are unknown, hence the option for re-order.
As noted previously, I can only recommend that you order sooner rather than later to ensure that your order is fulfilled swiftly.
