Here's to a long, prosperous and productive future for Vanguard Models 😁 Best wishes to you and your wife. -
Looking really smart Mark 😉

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!

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🙃😅

Looks good OC, your detailing is great, will the standard bearer have just the Eagle or have the colours attached?
-
Coming along nicely Frank 👌 It's been mentioned before but those laser cut bulkheads look fantastic!
-
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 😉

Great successful maiden voyage, even with no fish, it looked like a peaceful Sunday "messing about on the water"😊😉

They are superb OC, and when they're in the dio, they will be the db's😊

I think it's Tamiyas version of the zinc chromate green, how close it is to the real colour I'm not sure!
-
There would have been some drummer boys, usually behind the Eagle and possibly on the flanks of the column. There was that famous incident at Hougoument, when the French got into the courtyard, then the Guards Regiment (Coldstream I think) closed the gates and slaughtered all the French troops except the drummer boy😉
-
Buttered scones for tea anyone?😅 Thanks Dan, I'll do that! I used Tamiya cockpit green but the flash went off on the 2nd photo. I'm going to give it all another coat before picking out the detail colours. Thanks for your interest and much appreciated help and advice 👍
-
I did close the blinds😅 Seriously though I think it was mentioned in Craig's Scharnhorst build log.

Hi all, after four days the search has been called off, the bench was cleared, everything from the vicinity was shook or tapped over dark blue towel, I even tried the women's tights on the vacuum, all to no avail😔. Hopefully I may be able to mock something similar up from some thin copper wire flattened ( the piece in question was an 'L' shaped buckle type thing for the seat belt), once the cockpit is all together it'd be hard to see anyway. just a couple of photos. It's going slowly, but steady🥵 I just have to remember to breathe😉 I appreciate you all calling by and the likes. Cheers
