Hi All,

My family visited the Victory and I have noticed that tackle blocks on the cannons are out of scale. Any suggestions of what you have done?

Hi Akibro, the blocks on the cannons are out of scale and this is due to the limitations of the manufacturing process with the smallest being some 2mm. I just go with the blocks provided and accept they are out of scale. Cool Cool Cool

Regards

Alan
