Hi Team,

When I started building HMS VICTORY like you,I felt there were enhancements that could be added, and an enhancement that could change the way the Gallery looked, which would make the build of the Victory much more acceptable and enjoyable to me personaly.

For me to have had "one offs" of these enhancements would have been impossible, so I told members of this forum what I was planning to do, and guess what? many of those members felt the same way and supported me in my endeavours, this gave us buying power, and economy of scale.

These enhancements have been sold all over the world where ever DeAgostini has launched the BUILD THE VICTORY SERIES, the Quantities are not huge but then it was never ment to be, just me wanting to improve my Victory build.Please note DEAG have no involvement whatsoever, and do not endorse or support this project.

These enhancements are still available, and will continue to be so untill members no longer want them.

The Enhancements are:-

1) BOARDING PIKES set of two (Formast and Main mast) in brass etch
2) SHIPS SPLIT WHEEL set of two wheels in Turned and brass etch
3) FIRE BUCKETS set of 21 in turned brass
4) BALAYE PINS set of 70 in turned wood
5) CUTTER (Boat set of two) to fit Quarter Davits
6) GALLERY ENHANCEMENT this is the jewel in the crown. this is a superb quality replacement for the Gallery including etched ply back and side panels with the windows etched into the ply,and a superb Brass etch sheet to incorporate the Balustredes and fine detail, also included is the ships name in Brass, and the ships Binnacle also in brass.You can see photos of the Gallery enhancement in my VICTORY BUILD DIARY.
7) CATHEAD CROWN (Set of two) 5mm x 5.9mm
8) BLACK STEEL CANNON BALLS 2mm Good for 1/72 and 1/84 scale
9) 24 POUNDER DUMMY CANNON turned brass 28 in a pack.

If you would like more informatiom on any of the enhancements please PM me and I will send you Photos and prices, it does not matter which country you live in I will ship any where in the world.

My best wishes

Mike (MWG)

Hi Mike,

You must have read my mind. Being a new starter I was going to ask you how long the enhancements would be available as I am some months away from needing them.

I will PM you for the details.

Many Thanks,

Mick

NEW ENHANCEMENT


I am pleased to offer a PAIR of CATHEAD CROWNS (5mm x 5.9mm)

for the cost of £1:99 inc postage and packing

If a member Buys an enhancement from me there will be no extra postage, therefore the CATHEAD CROWNS will only cost £0:99p

So if you have an order pending with me it makes sense to order the CATHEAD CROWNS and get them shipped for nothingBigGrin


Kind regards
