[quote=Silent_Running]Hi Mike,

I was wondering whether there will any further enhancement packs for HMS Victory further down the line. Also, do you still have some bucket enhancement sets still left? If you do could you put one aside for me. Thank you. BigGrin

Kind Regards



Hi Glenn I do not plan any more Enhancements the latest and probibly the last for the Victory will be the two cutters I have found to place on the Davits or to tow behind as at trafalgar, I have the bucket sets and I will put one a side for you.

The jewel in the crown is the Gallery enhancment it is so accurate I have seen some fantastic builds on this forum, but the Gallerys let them down because they are so wrong and the ballustrades are so out of scale its not true, but hey thats my personal opinion. The Gallery is the Victory to me and if I could not have produced the enhancement I would have ceased building her.Without people like you buying into the project it would never have seen the light of day.so thank you, and a big thank you to the other members who had faith.

Did I send you all the details of the 6 enhancements?

Best wishes MikeLove



Hi Mike,

Yes I did get the details, and your right, wow what an enhancement! Love I totally agree with everything you have said Mike, and thank you for the praise, but the praise should be held for you.

Without your hard work and efforts the gallery enhancement, bucket sets, boarding pike sets and the ships wheel pack would have never seen the light of day, so big thank you to you Mike.

I'm sure other members would agree with me when I say that you have contributed a vast amount to the forum Mike and have gone the extra mile for the members and you should get the recognition and praise you deserve. Cool




Thank you for your kind comments,it is much appreciated. By the way wait till you see what I am planning next?Love
Kind regards MikeDrool

UPDATE

Hi Team The Gallery enhancement is a huge success and I have nearly sold out of the first production run.

I you would like to have an authentic Gallery on your Victory send me a PM and I will send you details.If payment is received by paypal this Friday (tomorrow) I can ship on Monday.

If you miss this production, I will produce more, its just a matter of waiting for the orders to come in first, then I will produce.

What do you think of the CATHEAD CROWNS?


Kind regards

Mike

Hi Mike! Cool

I'm looking forward to seeing the completed gallery enhancement! A lot of work has gone into it over the months, so it should be something very special.

Mike you've help a lot of members in the past with other enhancements, that's a lot of extra work you've done!

WELL DONE MIKE! ThumpUp

IMPORTANT UPDATE.

Hi Team I am pleased to say all GALLERY ENHANCEMENT orders have been sent out,

When you receive your pack please do not lose the little Chimney which belongs to the Binnacle, also the windows are strong yet fragile please handle with care.

I am going on holiday from the 1ST to the 10TH of August, when I come back I will be posting up A Gallery Enhancement build Diary, fitting it to my Victory on this thread I will also be sending everyone who has purchased the GALLERY ENHANCEMENT a telephone HELP LINE number.

Please wait for this Build Diary before attempting to build your Gallery, I have had extensive discussions with the Manufacturer, and there is a certain way that every thing goes together, in a right order.

You will also receive some PDF instructions from me before we start.

LETS BUILD IT TOGETHER

Best Wishes

MIKE
