welcome to MSW, good luck with your Fifie, and please do start a build log as you will find you get plenty of advice and support from the other members on here as they're a friendly bunch. Above all have fun and enjoy your build. 😉👍

A man's got to have a hobby besides railways and ships Ken 😏 I was heavily into the Peninsula war and Waterloo of course. And after reading the Fancy Jack Crossman novels the Crimean war, which was a foretaste of what was to come bout 60 years later. Edit: I know you've read Bernard Cornwell, does that include the Starbuck Chronicles? -
I'm sure these guys were the "heavies" of the french army, probably their version of the Lifeguards and Enniskillen Dragoons. It's a shame Ney wasted them at the British squares

Planking continues slowly, not super keen on the walnut I'm using, doesn't edge bend that well but with plenty of heat it eventually bends. I have also started using CA gel from gorilla glue, so much more easier to apply than normal CA. I stopped using wood glue after two planks sprung off. Fitted the main wale using some yellow cedar I had left over from Triton thanks to all for looking in and the likes. Cheers 😁👍

Those figures are so much better than the old airfix napoleonic ones from the 1970's. Your painting is looking fine, the saddle cloth and sheepskin are great OC

Yes, she's sitting on her build board waiting for the wood for planking to arrive. I couldn't resist as she looks amazing, though she's a long term build!

I have those in my attic along with a box load of fantasy miniatures for table top battles.

From what I recall reading, it would have been quite muddy in the valley as it had rained most of the previous day and all night, so maybe brown boots and gaiters are called for😁 Are you going to have an artillery piece on the road outside the farm?
-
Nice painting OC, he is going to look great in the column's firing line advancing down the road to the farm👍 Looking forward to the 95th figures 😃

🎼🎵on the road again 😑 Sorry I'll get my coat

OC what can I say Fantastic dio, the mossie looks great despite it's best efforts to thwart you😬 Brilliant job!!!
-
Can't argue with that logic my friend 😉 We'll just wait for the Italieri kit. I know you'll be back bigger and better so relax and why not try a floaty thing in the meantime 😁😁

Don't bin it EG!! Try free hand, it's all experience and these things are sent to try us😬😬😖 She's only noted it 😉 it's when your allowance gets stopped is when you worry 😥

My granddaughter was watching me the other day doing some work on my Cutter, after 5 or so minutes walked off saying that she wouldn't have the patience to make a model. 🙄 So I think that unless it's instant gratification like a video game, they tend not to bother. That said there are younger people modelling.

Nice!!! Loving the gingerbread decorations.

Looks good, I liked those small bomber kits when I was younger as they didn't take up too much room 😏 Denis(popeye the sailor) is the fella to tap up for tail heavy bomber solutions 😉 -
Do you mind if I ask, did you have the gunport pattern made or did you cut it yourself? It is taking shape, looking good

Yep, so glad it has turned out good, you must feel you've built this dozens of times, but you got there and it looks awesome. Great work EG praise for hanging on in there.
-
Looks a good smooth base, good luck with the top planking Emmet 😉👍
-
Coming on nicely OC, are you doing it as a Falklands aircraft? I remember watching them on the news. Awesome aircraft.
-
It's coming together well Robby, in my opinion a good smooth base is a must for 2nd planking.(I tend to put more filler on and keep sanding)
-
Thanks OC and mugje, and thanks for the likes. So planking continues slowly, with the bulwarks between the mainwale and the sheer. I'm forming the gunports as I go instead of cutting them out later. ( there will only be six guns mounted) I mocked up a cannon to check clearance. Just a cardboard cut out and glued to a scrap of what will be the deck. That's it til next time. The shipyard is being re-modelled to make room for Winchelsea so work stops as I have no bench at the moment. Cheers
