  1. Just put them down to landsmen learning the ropes ( no pun intended) under the watchful eye ot the bosun😉 Excellent work on the rigging, your Cheerful is turning out to be a proper little gem of a cutter!
  2. As usual Tony, you've done yourself proud, the model looks fabulous and the display base suits it perfectly. Excellent work, and I'm looking forward to seeing your next offering 😀
  3. Ah Mon ami, I see the Regiment received the new standard straight from Paris 😊 Beautifully done OC, he's a credit to the battalion! Vive l'empereur!!!
  4. Dragging my chair in now, has the popcorn 🍿arrived yet. Looks a great kit !
  5. Here's to a long, prosperous and productive future for Vanguard Models 😁 Best wishes to you and your wife.
  6. The French Eagles were very sacred to the Regiments as it was said that Napoleon himself kissed each Eagle before presenting it to the battalion. The British army were still using whistles in the 1914-1918 war. At the beginning British commanders still expected troops to go over the top in an orderly fashion and advance towards the enemy at a walk😶😬 Whoever said "lions led by donkeys" wasn't too far from the truth!
  7. And all very engrossing and moreish 😉 I've been watching that on Netflix, it's very very good!! It's interesting to see the differences between the ACW and the Crimean War with only 10 years or so between them and how the European powers were still using Napoleonic tactics in large set piece battles, and also trench warfare around Sebastopol! ( a taste of what was to come 60 odd years later🤔) Perhaps you could do a "Late Unpleasantness" dio after !😊😇 I'll get my coat🙃😅
  8. Looks good OC, your detailing is great, will the standard bearer have just the Eagle or have the colours attached?
  9. Coming along nicely Frank 👌 It's been mentioned before but those laser cut bulkheads look fantastic!
  10. Just got caught up, and WOW! You've got one seriously fantastic ship, it's been a real joy to follow along😁 Congratulations on a well produced Build! I'm sure your Confederacy will be just as good if not better 😉
  11. Great successful maiden voyage, even with no fish, it looked like a peaceful Sunday "messing about on the water"😊😉

  19. I think it's Tamiyas version of the zinc chromate green, how close it is to the real colour I'm not sure!
