Thank you Alan - means a lot mate. OC. -
Thank you kindly Phil - much appreciated. OC.

Thank you kindly brother, it will be even more weathered when I get my dust paint. OC.

Good work Phil, the seams on aircraft are always the fiddly bit getting them closed up and making the join invisible, can seem like a forever job just doing that, she is coming along nicely the Black primer certainly shows off her shape. OC.

Evening all, a bit more progress on the stables starting with one of those OMG Moments - I had painted the roofs yesterday and they had over night to dry, this evening I set about putting a wash over the tiles - same as I had done to the farmhouse, so no issues here, then I decided to run a wash over the stable walls - after doing this I managed to knock my jar of wash all over the table - it was a case of remove some of the wash on the walls as there was too much - or clean the table, the table won, I then knocked over my jar of water on the table that I use to clean my brushes. By the time I got round to working on the stable walls the wash had dried - so it was a case of re working some of the White and try to blend it into where it would meet the wash/shading from wear and tear - it was a case of wet and dry brush work - followed by a damp cloth to blend them into to each other. I have the one wall done (I think) the same treatment will be done to the other tomorrow. Talk about a palaver. OC.

Thats good - I did buy an expansive £4 cardboard box for a booth should I need it. OC.

Do you spray in a booth mate or on your bench - no over spray or odour to worry about? oc.

Impressive work Kevin - so much detail is going into it. OC.

I have added a few more things to my shopping list for my build - ordered them yesterday from our friend flea bay - Trees for the Orchard, Hedgerow for the kitchen garden side and side of the orchard, Tall 15mm grass (managed to get it in 1:35 scale to make it taller, Water gel for the ducks pond, And lastly some paint on dust. OC.

I actually enjoy the building more than the completion - I get very sad when I finish a build as it just gets put in the display case and forgotten about, that's why I don't rush mine and only spend a couple of hours on mine each day. OC.

Evening all, the roofs are adjusted and fitted and the flashing was also fitted from paper strips. OC.

I was lucky to see this one back in 2003 - superb power. Not my video. OC. https://youtu.be/5i1wRyjecuA

Thank you again - very much appreciated, I have been finding close - but not quite close enough - lots of clumps on mats that you take each clump off and place your self (that might have to be the route I have to take) perhaps go with 12mm that would be the equivelant of Two Feet tall. OC.
-
Thank you for clarifying that Mark, and yes some of the skill in that site is amazing. OC.
-
I had a quick look on that site but no good brother - the closest thing that had to rye grasses or weet was too large, I am after something the right hight and already attached to a sheet/mat so all I have to do is fit to shape on my board upto the farm complex. Thank you for finding that though. OC.
-
Can't see it being a problem Alan - its on topic. OC.
-
Thank you brother, Just opened the link and checking it out - I think I need an A4 sheet of rye grass (thats what was being grown on the fields where the battle took place - accounts said it was over waist hight so with my figures being 28mm tall I make the rye grass needed to be about 15mm tall. Its to go on the side oposite the roadway where most of the cuirassier charges happened. OC.
-
Thanks Alan, I will check him out. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Ken, I am on the look out as I type for bits and pieces in Fle bay - like tall grass/rye sheets hard to find as they need to be scall of about 15mm tall, looking at other stuff I need. OC.

That Matchbox HMS Tiger is a rare one - Understand they have released some PE to enhance it now. OC.
