It arrived but the "hungry bunch" eat it all - waiting on fresh supplies apperently Mark is booking a lorry as we speak😁 OC.

And here is the finished article. OC.

Evening all, my 55th Ligne flag barer is now complete, the flag was a stright forward process but apperently the printed colouring can and does get some damage (mine was the same) - as I explained my process in my other post above - thats what I did. But after gluing it and shaping it I touched up some of the marks and gave the whole flags edge a re paint in Yellow Ocre. So this is the finished flag - but first how the flag starts (not the same regimant as is on my figure) Next post will show the completed figure with his backpack and details etc. OC.

Famous date tomorrow - Waterloo Day. OC.

Good day all, I might have a go at the flag latter - I have been reading up on how to attach/fold/shape flags by touching up the inside edges/outer lip with the same piant as the outside, then gluing a piece of foil leaving an edge around it with PVA then more PVA over both sides - then close it up around the flag staff, then applying PVA on the outer sides and fold it down to get the right folds/shape. Time will tell OC.

I think ontop of the small scale my problem might come from rattle can painting as I do not have a precision sprayer and dont think brush painting will cut it - will need to study my work flow when I start my Hood. OC.

Evening all, Flag Barer is nearly complete - just needs his backpack and flag, and possibly a few more brushed coats of flat as its still being a we bit akward flatting down even after about Four coats. OC.

Evening all , I thought I better crack on with my Flag Barer - I have decided to make him a Voltiguer infantryman, normal procedure is to start working on the face and hands features followed by the Shako then the collar. OC.

Come on then Craig - no time like the present - you know where they have to go - will look forward to your build (even start intro's)🙂 OC.

I brought and assembled this kit back in 2014, back then my modeling situation was very basic and despite poor eysight (not quite as bad as now) I used no form of magnifiers just my reading glasses. Its the Dragon type 42 Destroyer kit and builds lovely out of the box, all of the extended batch 3 type 42s can be built from the kit by I decided to build the last of the group that had some mods on her including a bow wave extension of her hull. I saw her a few times in the flesh where we used to live and that influenced me in building her - but looking at my attempts from then using my optovisors I can see all the flaws - so I thought why not have ago to see if I can improve on what I built back then using the same kit - nothing drastic I will not be taking her apart or re painting - just doing a wee bit of a tidy up job under higher magnification. Here are a few pics including a photo I took of the real ship and a last pic as she was being made ready to be scapped and my old model shots. Hope this will be worth it. OC.
