i am attempting to obtain an enhancement package for this build that was mentioned on the Model Space forum. Unfortunately, trying to go through that forum has been a nightmare. I was hoping that someone could direct me to a link for the enhancement package. Thanks in advance.
I understand about the MS forum. They are not very supportive about anything other than basic “out of the box” builds of their kits. Which is why there are several of the better DeAg Millennium Falcon builds on this forum.
As to your problem, I did some basic searches, found that the DeAg Victory is 1/84th scale and that there is another Victory kit in 1/84th scale from a company Artesania Latina. That suggests that there could be accessories out there for ship models such as you are building.
Also, I would suggest look through this forum for HMS Victory and other high detail large ship builds. You might find some relly helpful ideas for your build or aftermarket parts even if the ship is a different scale or completely different ship.
Hope that helps a little.
Thanks for the info. I have found individual parts from sites such as Shapeways but the package I’m looking for has specific parts for the DeAgostini ship including gallery parts, ship’s boats and other unique parts. I’ll keep drilling into the internet as you suggest and hope for the best. I appreciate your effort in finding the AL model. Participants in the FS forum have been great in helping with my search.

Stop receiving emails on this subject.
Check out www.shapeways.com
Thomas is making some wonderful stuff.
I would steer clear of Artesania Latina, aka Artist in the Latrina.
After looking at the LT reviews I would agree. I’m now emailing with the author of the MS forum so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Shapeways does have some interesting parts and I may go with them also. Thanks
The Latina Victory is the same kit as the one DeAgostini sells. In general, I am not sure what you were expecting on their forums. They sell the Victory, some paint, a set of copper tiles, and a stand. Anything else is not from them, and unless you are a kit buyer from them, they don’t sell spare parts. So I’m not sure what this ‘enhancement package’ is or who it’s from, but it’s not something they sell there.
on the shapeways site where abouts is the victory stuff
To get to the Victory parts, search on Shapeways Victory - the results will lead you to the site
The enhancement package is sold through a member of the forum.
thank’s mike , don’t think I’ll ever be any good on computers
