Superb finish Alan, as the others said the figures complement the scene perfectly. I love the 1914/18 style photographs. -
Late to the party, but I'm in, I just love these builds you do!
-
Doing a bit of catching up, you're doing wonders with the dio, the figures look great to me. I did a whole box of the Airfix 1:72 Waterloo highlanders 30 odd years ago, I recall I just did a flesh colour on the face,no extra detail, but then they were placed in square when based up, so difficult to see much detail anyway. Can't wait to see the troops on the base!!

The glazing looks good, very 1700s, handmade type glass.

Operation char removal has also began! with the hatch beams. Carlings cut. Everything is just dry fitted and the false deck pinned in position. the centreline seems to be fine, some tweaking of the aft hatch, I think 🤔 Once again thanks for all your interest, likes and comments. Cheers

Thank you gentlemen. Chapter 4 has started, the two sub platforms have been planked, and the framing dry fitted. Once I've sanded the sub decks and give a couple of coats of WOP I shall begin fitting the pieces for the gratings*. Thanks for the likes, comments and looking in. Cheers Edit: *Doh! Imean open hatches

If you do take the plunge and make your own moulding scraper, you can have whatever profile you want. It is your model after all. I personally made basically the same profile for all the mouldings, just in different sizes depending on which piece I was making. I used some scrap pieces of boxwood to practice on, before doing the actual strips for Winnie. I'm sure the size difference you mentioned would not be adversely detrimental to the build, as long as the strips are positioned correctly. Your Winnie is looking good btw.

It seems I'm not as brave as I thought🤭😂. I chickened out and bought chapters 4&5 😁 I couldn't help myself, I had to see if the false deck fitted, apart from a bit of chiselling the corners of the bow bulkheads, it looks like it is fine. There may be a bit of fine tuning. Thanks for looking in, the likes and encouraging comments. Cheers

Excellent save and redo!! It's good you were able to salvage the brass bands.

A drop of isopropyl should break the CA bond, then perhaps you could gently tease the stock off in one piece, without taking them apart.

Looking good Jack, with some new toys, ahem! tools. I had to have a second glance at the anchors and I think Andrew is right. It's good to have you back at the bench 😉

Happy New Year OC, to you and your family.

Nicely done Andrew!!

F4U-1A Corsair by DocRob - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/32

A superb model Rob! I am in awe of your weathering skills, the Corsair looks absolutely stunning. -
I'm sure there would have been dismounted cavalry troopers using muskets, as there would have been plenty of discarded weapons on the field belonging to the multitude of dead and wounded. In short it is not an unreasonable assumption to have your cuirassier picking up and using a musket. Hope you had a good Christmas and here's to a happy New Year

Merry Christmas OC and here's to a happy New Year for you and the Admiral 🍾

I don't think you can go wrong with frigates, as with the fleets at the time always more needed. Concerning Bolitho/Alexander Kent books, the two ships I'd go for would be HMS Sparrow, a ship rigged sloop of war and HMS Pharalope, a 32gun frigate, I think.

Not a lot happening on this, I'm waiting for a canopy mask to arrive, but with the postman strikes, it's anybodies guess as to when that will turn up. Thank you for all the likes and comments. Cheers

Very nice!!! Beautiful model again Chris.

Those stencils look amazing! I agree with Ken, so much better than waterslide decals -
Hang on in there OC, and wishing you and the Admiral a speedy recovery!

Nice!!! The camo looks good, did you do it freehand?
