Tony Hi Tony, thank you for your positive comments The windows in the Gallery enhancement are lasered out of the plywood using a fantastic brand new process, you are right the windows are supper fine (less than 0.3mm ) which is required to replicate the scale Thanks for your interest and I hope I have answered your question ok Kind regards Mike 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.

PAINTING THE GALLERY ADORNMENTS The prince of wales plume and lances plus flags have been painted, from pictures of how the Victory looks today. (VICTORY 1765) And not copied off someone else`s interpretation, of what she should look like. It is very important to me as I build the Gallery Enhancement that it is as accurate as possible. I hope you like the photos, questions and comments are welcome kind regards Mike 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.

Hi Mike, Absolutely fantastic painting on the emblem, you have a good eye...and hand for that matter Just an observation, the little piece of flag below the left cannon is supposed to be red/white as its part of the ensign - wouldnt normally have mentioned it but as its you I though you would appreciate it  Makes me want to re-paint mine now as my new kolinsky sable 5 and 10 zero brushes arrived today Steve

Fantastic work Mike  Just a little sub note: There has been many a discussion over the years as to whether Victory sported the Prince of Wales feathers on the stern emblem at the time of Trafalgar, some opting for a crown instead. But most, including myself, have gone with the P of W feathers. Great work once again Regards Alan England expects that every man will do his duty.

Hi Mike
Fantastic workmanship on the Prince of Wales feathers. Your transom board is going to look absolutely stunning once its mounted. Was it difficult to adapt it so that it sat correctly over the PE?
Happy building
David
