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
I just wanted to comend you on the great service which is second to none.
Thank you for going that xtra mile.
Very best regards.
Mark

MWG, can you also include the best strategy on how to protect the brass against corrosion?
Remembering an episode of "Chasing Classic Cars" on Discovery, a brass car there seemed very sensitive for finger prints and such.

Looking forward to the package here Drool

Come on Mike lets have a build updateCursing

Not an advertisementCrying

You have provided some good advice and some worthwhile enhancements for all our builds. But to keep plugging extras is getting BORING, more building less advertising!!
And no, I dont apologise for any offence.
I still appreciate everything you have contributed so far.
All the best, Steve..

Steve I am very disappointed to receive this post.

On my own build Diary I am allowed to post, what I like as and when I like If you find what I have posted not to your liking please do not visit my build diary, talking about updating Build Diaries what has happened to your scratch build boat?

You asked me by PM on the 16th August ,if you could have a copy of a PDF of the Gallery Enhancement, I thought about it, when you said you wanted to check how to take off the old Gallery, and I decided for the sake of good relations on the forum, I will send it to you,even though you had not purchased the Gallery Enhancement, I thought "he is a good guy I will try and help him".

I never received an acknowledgement from you I had to contact you by email to make sure you had received it, you said "yes".

And now you have "slagged" me off in open forum,
and all I tried to do was help you.

Today I have received an email from you asking for the PDF to be sent to you when you have confirmed to me you have already received, I do not understand what is going on?

Finally to answer the question in your email the Gallery enhancement is available, and is only available through other members supporting an idea I had to upgrade the gallery, and without them It would never have come to fruition.

Regards Mike
