I have all the crewmen thanks and that isn't a problem.
The magazine does state that Nelson, Hardy and Atkinson are supplied separately but they certainly aren't in my kit.
I did buy the complete kit back in 2017 and although I made sure I had all the packs, I didn't open the figurine pack to see if everyone was included. Stupid me!!
Oh well, I shall search and see if they are available elsewhere.
Chris Hi Chris,  Just done a check into this via the Official Build for you and it appears that crew and officers were supplied between issue 118 to 120. The officers were in issue 118 and I`m assuming that one of them was Nelson as he had his hand inside his coat.  Hope this helps with your search.

I'll have one last hunt around but almost convinced I haven't had them The only difference between my kit purchase date and now is that the full kit was packed in a slightly different way when I got it. For instance, all the gun barrels and gun carriage kits were all bundled togather. Never really gave it much thought until I started working my way through the instructions.

After all this time I decided to open all the packs of figurines and there are some missing.
Namely, Nelson, Hardy and Atkinson. Loads of seamen in various poses but the main guys just aren’t included.
Has anybody got the pack number that these figurines should have been included, please?
Many thanks in advance. Hi Goddo, I hear your frustration big time. When I received my complete kit, I quickly found that all! the figures were missing. I ordered my kit from Germany and instantly got in contact with their customer service.... To cut a 8 month long story short, I managed to order a complete set of all the crew from ModelSpace UK directly. So if you've not contacted them yet, this would be your best option! However, the set they sent me doubled up on Nelson, Hardy and Atkinson. I'm happy to part with the spare set. Just DM me if you're interested. Cheers Odo Odo attached the following image(s):

Hi Odo,
That is indeed a very kind offer.
Firstly, my apologies for not responding earlier but I have had to have some tinkering done on my heart and modelling took a back seat for a while.
I have now sent you a PM to explain things a little more clearly.
Chris

Forgot to mention in my last post:
I wish every Victory builder all the very best and hope you get as much satisfaction as I have from the experience.
I do have a few odds and ends that I never used myself so if anyone is looking for a few bits, I may be able to help out. Just drop a line here or PM me as I will always be looking in.
Good luck.
Chris

WTG Chris, That has turned out to be a stunning build that you should be well proud of. I congratulate you also on your persistence, as I know how much work is involved in putting one of these kits together. Certainly not a job for the short term. Your "RED" medal for the completed build will show soon. In fact, I feel you should have a "YELLOW" medal as well for an "Outstanding Build" Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thank you for all your kind comments and the medal awards are much appreciated.
Yes, I calculated (very roughly) that in the three years and eleven months of starting the kit, I have spent around 5700 hours building (and rebuilding) the ship. I wonder how that equates in man-hours to the construction of the real thing? The main thing for me is that the time is irrelevant. It's all about the enjoyment (and frustrations) with some steep learning curves that it has given me.
My next ship will be Santisima Trinidad so I will start a diary for that but in the meantime, I have a couple of smaller kits to build.
Chris

Congratulations on completing your build Chris,it really is a monumental achievement to build one of these ships, so many try and fail. You mentioned about any bits we might need and i am missing a few hammock cranes at the front and back if you have any spares left over i need 6 x 12mm cranes to complete forcastle and am missing all the poop deck cranes and they have been out of stock all year on Cornwall model boats.

Hi Richard,
Many thanks for the kind words about my build. Much appreciated.
Unfortunately I cannot help you with the hammock cranes. In fact I had to manufacture two myself due to shortage in the packaging. Hopefully someone else can help you.
Chris
