Yep, it's a shame they are not included with the Delux kits - but deffo worth getting (I found that out on my 1/350 HMS Warspite build) the wood decks just make all that difference. OC.

I can imagine there being some quite exciting offerings coming along from Flyhawk. OC.

You know folks - I didn't realize how new this kit is - it was only released in May 21 and so far there have been no reviews of it. OC.

Some great work being done there mate, I have found the only thing you can do with the close focus is to try to focus slightly in front of the intended object as depth of field generaly extends further behind than in front. And what a great idea with the Acrylic glue (I will have to try and sorce that out for my Hood build) I already have their super glue but can see the benefit of the Acrylic. OC.

No worries at all mark. OC.

I too remember your builds Steve - love what you did with your Bounty build - please start a new build log. OC.

😁 You do have some rounds to do Mark - like a groundsman trying to keep a place tidy. OC.

No worries mate, sometimes my rattling on when I get caught in the typing moment can come across a bit confusing - I blame my keyboard lol. OC.
-
Those barrels look lovely, what do you use to drill out the plastic blast bag ends - a small drill bit in a pin vice? OC.

This is the French one Mark from the Ist Corps of Jean-Baptiste, Comte d'Erlon, he was head over - I Corps: 33 battalions/11 squadrons/46 guns. OC.

Time for some history about the the Eagle Flag carrying infantryman - during the attacks on LHS the french came under severe and accurate fire from the 2nd KGL and also the 95th in the sandpit - one of their primary aims was to take down the command of the regiment and even the flag barer's, there was just the one Eagle per regiment, and I understand the 1st reg, 55th ligne was carried by an Officer, he was shot and the Eagle was very quickly picked up by one of the ranks infantry and carried forward during their attack on the Farm, I understans a higher ranking officer soon claimed the Eagle back but was soon departed from it when the British Heavy Cavalry attacked and claimed it, it was never taken back its one of Two that was saved from the Battle. I am displaying this Eagle barer as one of the infantry who rescued it before it was handed over to a senior. OC.

Hi all, Well I have started on the Flag Barer - assembled and primed. OC.

Most welcome Ken, will be a wait though I need to finish my Waterloo Dio first and frankly can see that taking me the rest of the year, but guess I have this post started now so I will be able to return to it when I am ready. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Roger. OC.
-
No problem at all brother its just a subject I can't comment much on as I do not have very much knowledge of the ACW, I know there was a film/series on TV "North and South" not sure how realistic that was. OC.
-
You know Lou - I'm not sure, the moulds are seperate - Waterline upper/Bootline section/Lower Hull so it leaves it wide open to build as a full ship on a stand or a waterline, I will be Rattle Can painting it as I think brush painting will not bring out the delicate details, so I will be able to spray those sections seperate without having to mask along the hull. OC.
