Considering Dioramas are not you strong point - you are doing an Excellent job on this Superb work mate. OC. -
Jack, I kind of joined a group of peeps who have not had a single vaccine for many many years, and a surprising thing was that very little talked about having cv19 symptoms - all seemed to have just been lucky not to have been unwell over many years apart from the normal things we have always had. OC.

Looking really good Alan, I think figure work is all in the layers of paint and shadows and highlights, sorry to hear about you catching the pesky thing - it made me think back to about Ten years ago when I had a really bad case of flu - I had a really high temp severe constant vomiting loss of appetite hot and cold like you would not believe would my works let me off - no chance if I did not come to work they was gonna sack me - we was expected to just get on with it back then - how things have changed. OC.

Just a small update - I am still working on my Four French putting on the base colours, photos are not to good due to the harsh light. OC.

Yep I have done that Ken, even taken the keys off and checked the mechanism underneath. OC.

Morning all, not much in the way of a progress report, I am still doing some work on a few of my French figures including another injured fellow, to be honest I am having laptop problems at the moment with my keyboard - I am loosing kets faster than I can say "loosing keys" my backspace key - Arrow Left - Up and Down - "At" key and question mark keys are not working, I have got my on screen keyboard but its a pain to use and not fluent like using the ordinary keyboard. I have done all the fixes through my software from re instaling the drivers to making sure the BIOS is up to date, infact about an hour ago I had a real scare - I had installed a so called fix for the keyboard drivers, and after re starting it had disabled my whole keyboard and I could not enter my laptops password - after about 15mins of sweating and thinking my laptop was dead - I then found that I could bring up the on screen keyboard in the pre start page and use that to put my pass in. I then went through my installed drivers that had caused the lock out - I then uninstalled them and that did the trick. The keyboard is still the same with those keys - but ateast I can get into it. "Phewwww" OC.

Sounds like a Great dio mate, lots going on. OC.

Thank you so much Gary. OC.

Indeed mate, its how I learned to detail my figures. OC.
-
Really nice Greg, you have a nice blend of paint - shadws and Highs there, did you have to do many washes or high lighting to them. OC.
-
Some good detail to those two headless fellows. OC.
-
Sounds like a plan mate, if you make the dio as detailed as your scale replicas it will be Epic. OC.

Evening all, I have placed my Jager after cutting him away from his base, I have stood him in on of the wheel ruts and added some water around and over his shoes, so he is assisting the 95th firing on the French from about 30 yards. I have also thrown in another arty shot from the front. OC.

Looks like a Great new project Kevin - looking forward to what you will do to her. OC.

Evening all, my Jager figure received some dusting then a few light coats of Matt top coat, so he is finished. OC.

Very nice start to this Phil. OC.

Evening all, paintwork is going quite well on my Jager, base colours are on and face hands detailed and washed, photos are not great but they give an idea. OC.

Morning all, so after putting my KGL 3rd Hussar away, I have started on my Dutch 27th Jager, I have used one of my French line infantry as they share very similar uniforms, so far I have cut away his lower left side at the back of his coat where his sword and bayonet was, this has been replaced with a British bread bag and water bottle, that has been cut away from one of my British figures then trimmed to fit and glued in place, I have also filed away the Shako plate as I will attempt to paint in the Dutch design that's a horn - that's all I have done to him so far hence why no pics Yet. A bit of history of why I am including a single Jager figure in my dio - at Waterloo the 27th Jager skirmishers where famed out in front of the ridge running from the road all the way across, when the French columns advanced and got neat the bulk of the Dutch Jagers fell back, however I am placing my single figure on the road with the 95th rifles firing towards the French. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan. OC.
