  1. I think it's Tamiyas version of the zinc chromate green, how close it is to the real colour I'm not sure!
  2. 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😉
  3. 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 👍
  4. I did close the blinds😅 Seriously though I think it was mentioned in Craig's Scharnhorst build log.
  5. 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
  6. Don't overly fret, the finish looks very good from where I'm looking! In the water only the fish will see it and they'll be too busy avoiding your hook to notice😉😊
  7. Thanks Denis I might try that, if and when I get Winchelsea planking finished 😉🙂
  8. You may have hit the nail on the head Mark, I've Googled using various phrases and come up without any satisfactory answers, but did disappear down the wargaming/dio rabbit hole!😏😉
  9. The cuirassiers look like they mean business 😉 and the skirmishers shakos are super 👌. One thing I've never understood is why light troops and skirmishers have exceedingly large plumes ? The British army fusiliers also had large Hackles. I know they were partly used for Regiment/unit recognition but I would have thought light troops would have been better less obvious 🤔😏
  10. Land only, but the mountain rescue will probably have to be involved due to the nature of the terrain 😉
  11. Today I entered the realm of PE and I'm so glad its at 1:32 as even at this scale it's tiny! The seat belt is trying me🤯 but of the dozen or so parts fitted only one has took flight, ok its jumped out the tweezers 3 times, found twice, but last reported somewhere among the other MIA bits and bobs😠😤😫. So things have been put away and a full scale search and rescue is on the cards. Photos and more progress in the next update. Thanks to all for bearing with me😉 Cheers
  12. Thanks Lou, welcome to the show, and I had to look the Ensign reference up, interesting reading!😉
  13. Thanks Dan, I shall be putting your method and suggestions in action later 😉
  14. You're very welcome Kevin, although I may struggle to match your standard of finish 🙂😉
