So its not just me having a hard time with incompetent delivery companies who can not read when said item says (((Fragile))) OC. -
"Marshall Ney's on his way - but he nearly fainted - cuz some tall giant with a brush got him mearly painted" so a few more areas of detail painting to the horse including my signiture weathering - now I am starting work on Mr Ney - first I gave his coat a few layers of dark Blue, then I primed and did his trousers next in the normal French White - still a fair bit of work to do - oh he also glued down now using CA. OC.

Thank you Kevin. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis - thank you for all the likes - I was watching them tot up from you, I will return back to Chally - but in the mean time I am back on my Waterloo dio and working on Marshall Ney and one of his many horses that day. OC.

Indeed mate, I will mix them up abit a few 95th rifles firing down from the wall near the sand pit, and the rest more 2nd KGL. OC.
-
Yep I am thinking the same - I couldn't believe it when I saw them - they only came out last year. OC.
-
I remember that scene brother - that was quite a kick and the damage to that water container, chumly was well impressed. OC.
-
Indeed brother - if it was used or not at Waterloo - I have no idea. OC.

Oh - progress - nearly forgot, I have nearly finished painting Ney's horse (well one of them as he got through Five during the day) I have painted the saddle cover and trim and even done some brass braiding around it - and have painted the other bits and pieces and given him Three white socks - he still needs a bit of toning in and weathering - then I will concentrate on Marshall Ney. No pics as I forgot. OC.

Evening all, I was searching through ebay (as you do) and I came across these bad boys - they are what was missing from my dio from the very first - they have only just come out mid March 21 and they will do brilliantly for my mixed 2nd KGL and 95th Rifles - so I brought a pack. OC.

That is so worthy of a prime location Chris - Top Notch work. OC.

Evening all - I wanted a change so I have decided to give this some more of my time - firstly I have decided to work on my part metal part plastic figure/s of Marshall Ney and his steed, like I said this is a mixed build as the figure of him is in metal (I purchased him second hand that way all ready painted) - I am painting over him in more accurate colours, the horse is from my stock and is a Perry plastic one, the horse like my others are Two part bodies with separate heads - these needed a small amount of clean up then glued together, after I gave the horse a couple of coats of mixed vallejo acrylic primer with mig extra flat acrylic top coat - to give the surface a good base and be a little harder wearing for the other paint layers. So here is the current stage - Ney is just sat on his horse just for show. Its good to be back. OC.
-
Evening all, I have decided to put this to bed for a bit and go onto my Waterloo project as I fancied a change - So its sitting in the display cabinet with my half finished Wokka. See you in my other build..... OC.

Fantastic astro shots mate - and Warspite is coming along nicely also, one astro photographer once told me - once you get hooked into it in a big way - you will have no money left, he showed me his rig Big Telescopes on mounts connected to laptops all outside in speacial made hides. OC.

I think (holding my hands up) I may have been mistaken with Peter Halls work and Pontos, I think he has done other work with aircraft PE sets as well as ships. My apologies Greg.😬 OC.
