  1. Very nice Craig, I love the touch of green, but then I suppose it is a Kawasaki!
  2. Once again thanks Patrick. I'll give that a try.
  3. Thank you Patrick, I've done as you suggested, and it's now all ok😉
  4. 126 metres!! Most of the hills we have would disappear beneath that much😄 Yes we tend to get much rain but I've noticed we've been getting heavier, longer rainfall for the past few years, coupled with milder winters
  5. Reading that post makes me realise that British weather is pretty much non league stuff compared😂, stay warm and safe Jack
  6. That is huge, the Royal Greenjackets Museum has a 25sq metre dio, with over 30,000 men, gun and cavalry. This is 1:72 scale
  7. Oh man, that would be one hell of a dio, I've seen one in 6mm and 15mm but as you say you'd need a fair space at 28mm. I think the actual battlefield was about 4 or 5 square miles in area, though without looking it up ,I can't be certain
  8. Yes indeed, Wellington chose the battlefield well, but it was touch and go for a while, especially with the charge of the British heavy cavalry which could have been a total disaster, but Blucher and his Prussian army kept his promise and turned the tide in the last couple of hours or so.
  9. Yes perfectly sited and positioned to achieve mass fire power from all sides upon an enemy between the squares.
  10. Yes this and the time and manpower expended attacking Hougoumont, which was doing exactly what Wellington wanted it to do, presenting an obstacle to any attempt by the French to outflank the allies. Typically the French tried brute force of the massed columns against a veteran unit of the Guards who knew the destruction platoon volleys could do. Despite high casualties in the first assault the French just kept feeding the men in.
  11. Feeling for you OC, my mum had much the same experience 😑
  12. A very fiddly hour and it now has two headlights, Note to self : be more careful with tiny parts 🤔 painting the camo next. Thanks for the likes and comments everyone 😉 Cheers
  13. Good news indeed, here's hoping you get some sailing in before spring!😉
  14. Hi, if shipping had not priced it out of my budget, the Byrnes saw is what I would have bought, after all the comments and recommendations on here and elsewhere I would say it's a no brainer if you have the funds. Just my two pennies worth. 🙂
  15. Thanks gentlemen 🙂. It's ready for painting the camo now all the bits are fitted, although I do have to fashion a headlight as one shot off into the abyss of dropped parts 😒 Thanks for the likes and comments. Cheers
  16. Fantastic work Tim, some complex rigging! All in all, she's looking stunning 😁
  17. After reading the info EG dug out, I've changed my mind about the unit it's going to be part of. More on this when the details are sorted 🙂 Cheers
  18. I'm glad you've got it sorted Jack, do get some Cedar from Chuck, as it is lovely wood to work with and was a reasonable price even adding delivery and VAT. Of course it will be better value for you as you wont pay import taxes 😉 Seems like a rare thing happened as on Sunday we got 5-7 inches of snow that almost lasted till Tuesday morning😂
  19. That's a good price, as they're basically custom made 😉👍
  20. Thank you brother, this is why I posted for help, else I'd end up with a eastern front unit Panther in a normandy battle and who knows what might happened then😁
  21. Thanks Denis, of course I'll put some more pictures up when I've finished😉 Looking at the decals, there are three numbers :421 :309 and :223. After trawling google, I've come up with a panzer division; Lehr Panzer, 5th army centred around Caen during overlord and mentions of Bastogne in the Ardennes, but this is where I've drawn a blank as I can't find any Panthers with these numbers present, if anyone can help out I'd be grateful, if not I shall purchase an alternative decal sheet. The 251 and pak40 will be in the same Lehr regiment. I've added a link to info. Cheers. Downloadhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SS_Pz_Lehr_divisional_insignia.svg
