The pikes will be no more than £15,the Pikes were attached to the main mast and the foremast on the original Victory.. Our Pikes will be measured to the foremast and the main mast to the precise measurements.if you require the pikes for the foremast and mainmast please order 2 Pikes, and if you require only the mainmast you must order 1 main mast. We need to make sure That if there is a rubbing paunch on the mast it is measured and incorperated in the Boarding Pike (MWG to check) please see the Pikes on the Caldercraft Victory:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

GOOD NEWS!!!!! I contacted the Company today,(who is Working with us on this project) and the price of no more than £15 will include THE FOREMAST AND THE MAINMAST AS A SET, so unless you want to build them yourself, you will have the authentic scale items for our Victory(which will look much more in keeping with the build when its finished) at a realistic inexpensive cost. I am in the process of giving the rubbing paunch measurements, to start the process, as we now have the 50 orders required for the manufacturer. Anyone who wishes to order or has questions re this announcement, please PM me. Thank you all for your support in this project, Special thanks to De Ag and Mr T for allowing me to post this project on the Forum. De Agostini do not endorse this project, and have no liability whatso ever for same MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
