A couple weeks ago, I did a search for wriggles, the pieces that are placed above gun ports, to inistall on the HMS VICTORY x-section model I'm building. I found a hobby shop in England located in the vicinity of London. They had a myriad of small parts in addition to the wriggles I was lookng for. Sadly, I cannot find the web site that I thought I had bookmarked.

Has anyone seen or come across this site? If so, please end me the link.

thanks in advance.

He does have some nice parts, but I found some unusable, figure head was too flat, other parts too small, not the scale promised. And forget trying to get to Thom, the creator, (I believe in Germay), Shapeways is only a middleman, so no help. Wasted a bit of money with him.
 
If yours is 1:100, you may have landed on Daniel Fischer's site. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html. He does rigols and and a whole host of other parts. I'm fairly sure he has a build log on here as well as elsewhere, and I think most would agree that his is the definitive modern build of the Heller kit.

Revell Cutty Sark 1:96 with 3D printed modifications

A while back I posted a log on the Heller HMS Victory I was working on, which I then parked in order to make the Revell Cutty Sark 1:96. The idea was to take a break from Vicrtory and work on something easier, preferably building more or less straight out of the box and being done and dusted in...

Cornwall Model Boats has 'drip shield' parts - look at their website. I've used them for lots of hard to find stuff. Good luck!

I am building the Corel kit. As long as they are the same scale, I should be ok. He has some very nice items. Wish I had known of him when I was building the full ship model.
