DeAgostini HMS Victory

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.

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
