In a previous post, I asked if anyone knew of a vendor for "drip shields" otherwise known as "Wriggles" and if anyone knew of a vendor in England. I found the web site is was looking for: Mantua Models. Another question: Has anyone ever ordered anything directly from this company and, if so, how was your ordering experience?
I purchased some in 3D resin from Shapeways.
It seems they don't carry them anymore....
Did you take already on the building log by @Y.T. - he installed them - maybe he can give an advise where to buy
HMS Victory by Y.T.- Mamoli - 1:90 scale
this actually did make copper strip foil to stick better to the surface. Cheers mate, I had an idea I would have to stick some pins to a flat bar somehow, and I like the varnish idea. I gave my deck planks a coat of danish oil when I had finished them. protects the wood really well.

I know also that @dafi is producing them, but in scale 1:100

I ordered some blocks and updated bow trim for my Bounty from them. The bow parts were back ordered a couple of times but the communication was excellent and I was kept informed at all steps in the process. Once in stock they were delivered quickly. The only negative is you can’t access the online ordering form except from the EU. This causes shipping costs to be a little pricey. All in all I would order from them in a minute if they had parts I needed.
