Hi, I am wondering if figures will be available separate in deagostini shop or do we have to buy magazines to get additional sets? I found figures on alwayshobbies (item 8000 and 8005) but be not sure about size etc. Has anyone more info or insight? Also, I am always to happy to get them from other builders here who don't want them as part of their build. I have children, so it's fun for them......

Hi Skipper If you are looking to populate your Victory with more crew you could try the "British Marines and Sailors" set from HaT, (Part No. 8098) this set of 1/72 scale plastic figures contains 96 pieces (80 crew + 4 cannon), the two sets I bought on ebay last year were £8 each. The crew figure stances are roughly as follows: Marine 'en guarde' Marine charging Marine fireing Marine loading Crewman carrying cannonball Crewman standing over cannon Crewman with boarding pike Crewman with ramrod Crewman holding hands over ears Crewman boarding with cutlass and pistol Crewman with axe Crewman running with musket Hope this helps  First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

Hi Karl I'll try to put a link in once I 1) Find out how to put a link in and 2) Remember just where I got these figures from in the first place! I do know that it was some model shop 'up country, as we says down yer,  and it was the result of a general search for 1/72 scale nelson's crew figures on Ebay. I'll go trawling back through my mail-order e-mails to try and find the supplier (providing the transaction wasn't before the date my hard drive failed and had to be replaced! ALWAYS CREATE BACKUPS!!! guess who hadn't! Just to give you some idea, here's what they look like, there's four sprues of each one in the box which isn't bad value really when you see the price of single white metal examples in the model shops.

You could be waiting a long time as they were out of stock at this supplier 3 months ago, and its seems that most stockists, are also out of stock..

It is a good sign in one way. It would appear ship modelling is a popular past time. Hopefully they will see the advantage of ordering more such kits to satify the demand. Rgds, Hans

Hi, hmmmm.... just put my order in wonderland down and it all worked well, so if they come back we must wait......I will wait. Hopefully some orders will wake them up......interestingly they take all creditcard details but say 'no money with order until order is fulfilled', so again.. wait and see. However, I am hunting for the deagostini figures too...so, if you can spare them... just let me know
