Thank you kindly Gary. OC. -
Evening all, work on the stables continues - first thing I did was to add a few more dirty washes to the walk through stones, then I had some lower paint touch up to do where the base plates met the walls, next was the roof sections - these need some adjustment after me adjustment to the one stable (it was shortened) this will lead to a small amount triming off the one roof. The roof is dry fitted as I will need to keep it moving to lign both roofs up against each other and also where they meed the farmhouse. Talking of the farmhouse I decided to do a dry run to see how they look together - OC.

Thanks Ken, me thinks it will have some more dirty washes on it. OC.

Just keep test fitting the roof part against the railings/hull and adjust as you need to, as the railing is already glued in place - saves you having to adjust Two seperate pieces. OC.

I remembered having fun and games with the stern gallery on my Warspite build - raillings and roof struggled to agree where to meet. OC.

Really nice work - all coming together in a beautiful way. OC.

Evening all, Firstly a Huge Thank You to Everyine for pushing this to over 30K - amazing😲 So those pics I promised - I have assembled the Two stable blocks - still awaiting some touch ups and the roofs. OC.
-
So right mate, Think I was influenced by the RN versions that carried the despatches back from the battle of Trafalgar. OC.
-
I think I am correct in thinking this - wasn't a lot of the British version's painted in Black and Yellow Ocre? OC.
-
Nice piece of kit brother - that lens is one of the really good ones (yep I owned one once when I was canon shooter) OC.
-
Some excellent progress - you are doing a fab job on what is an old kit - very nice. OC.
-
Very nice work, can't beat a Warthog. OC.
-
Excellent work Brother - cant beat a "Toom" very nice work, and I spied a 55-250STM on the bench😉 OC.

Evening all, a bit more progress on the stables - I got the inside lower brick work painted Black (to match the farmhouse as its like that all the way round the inside walls) but after chatting with the admiral - as the room was starting to look like a dump tip with my table cluttered and messy making the rest of the room look messy, so I had a tidy up and put away most of my tools/tubs etc, then latter when I returned to do some more work on the build I just got out what I needed not everything. Its the pitfall of not having a work area or man cave. Anyway the next bit of work that was started and finished was a pre cut section of floor flag paving - I put a sand fill in down first, then picked out the different flag stones in different shades of Grey, and finished off with a couple of dirt washes as it would have been well worn. Foregot to take a pic - will tomorrow. OC.

Smashing work Kevin - really nice, I know what you mean about the motion sickness - when I used to watch cowboy films and saw the these carriages bouncing about so mutch I used to think that no way would I have gone in one. OC.
-
Very well said Mike, very similar class to the Corel Greyhound kit - quite a few of us tried to bring that kit to life. OC.
-
I was tempted Mark, but the call of the master builder at the Farm was too strong - he said "Son you must finish it - all the little people in your box need you". OC.

I was watching some guy on a video - free hand doing the different camo shades on a Me 109 including the blotches - amazing what you can do with practice. OC.
