Thank you brother. OC. -
Thank you Alan, they will be shown open with some of the KGL storming through them after the French. OC.

Evening all, so in between doing some nursing - I have made a wee bit more progress, I have started on the front/gate section - this includes the Dovecote/doors and even the walls with firing holes made in the walls where the KGL dug out some bricks using thier bayonets. Firstly I had to do some alterations to make the whole dovecote complex less wide and deep - some measurements and cutting was required, then glued in place, the the roof section was made up using the frame, then the inside wall has an inner section to thicken the wall, this was glued in place. Its an interesting stage and enjoyable making the alterations due to the inner courtyard now being more square and smaller in size. OC.

Thanks Ken, kind of weird - I have been having this feeling she was gonna fall down the stairs one day, then the other day she woke me I was in the bathroom and herd the "bump bump bump bump" and her cry out - I didn't even have time to dress I was helping her fully starkers, got her onto the sofa and checked for no breakages - she was just real saw backs of her legs. You should see the bruises now - she lloks like she has been kicked in a footy match. OC.

Lots of knowledge and frindship here John, you will always get friendly replies and the occasional talk about food.... OC.

Thanks Alan, thats what I told her and "your stopping me from my modelling" lol. OC.

I assume all the parts are ok and not broken - quite a few were loose in the sealed bags - off the spru's, I wont know fully till I build the kit (months away yet) as to the physical condition of every part. Regarding the box condition - lets say I had purchased this Brand New kit in its box to give as a present or sell on, the appearance of the box would surely have an impact - as it should have arrived in perfect condition - if it had not been badly thrown around or had things sticking into it. It was actually worse when I took the packaging and styrene off it - I had pulled it in to shape slightly - how more damage was not done is beyond me. OC.

Looking good mate. OC.

Thanks Mark, she is frustrated with herself. OC.

I havn't been as focused on my build and some of my replies may have been a little weak in content - we have a situation here requiring most of my attention - Two days ago the admiral decided it would be good to fall down the stairs, she is OK just badly bruised and very saw back, I have been trying to sort out pain relief for her and keeping heat applied to her back with hot water bottles. Its so painful for her when she sits down - hoefully she will start to get some pain relief very soon. Like the old saying "It doesn't rain - it Poors" OC.

That does look nice and smooth Craig, I have the Vallejo Primer (that I have been using on my figures by brush so far) I intend to try it on my figures but using my new airbrush - wonder also how it would work on my Hood - taking into account how good the finish you have go off you Mr Surfacer. OC.

Thank you so much Ken. OC.
-
Indeed, I am speaking to the chinese seller about this very thing - they have offered a partial refund and are very sorry - just waiting to discuss how much this will be? OC.
-
Thank you for the link Craig, thats quite a hike in price over what I paid, only extra cost to me was buying the wood deck my price also included Free delivery. Interesting to see what UK shops will stock Hood and what thier price ranges will be. OC.
-
Really looking forward to your next instalments on this build Alan - great news with the completion of the sections. OC.

Thank you kindly Roger, yes supply of these kits does seem a bit slow here in UK no where has yet started selling thh Hood kits by Flyhawk, also sometimes you have to buy something when you have the money - that was my case - I knew it would be a long delivery I was/am in no hurry and I chatted with the chinese dealer who said the baox would be securely and strongly put together - the only thing missing with it in fairness was Fagile tape all over it. OC.
-
Hope we see more of your projects. OC.
-
I think Its all the more special when we attack an older kit with the skills that we have now - keep up the great work mate. OC.
-
What lovely special pictures Kevin - family pics are priceless, that one of you in your gear reminds me of one I had when I was in the Sea Cadets. OC.
