Hi Edward, thank you kindly, there is group of Paper flags in the box with my Perry French Infantry the only thing is there is no 54th or 55th infantry flag - or I could go and search to see if anyone does the exact one on the net. OC. -
Indeed - I am hoping for over 100 possibly close to 150 made 44 so far. OC.
-
Thanks mate, next off I think will be a Flag carrier as I have both (who said I am putting off building the farm - well perhaps a bit as it will be the focus point and I don't wan't to make a pigs ear of it) OC.
-
Count me in - I will stare just like your cat is at the amazement that happens with people who have xray vision with these tiny Builds. OC.

Evening all - my 55th Ligne 1st division drummer is finished, it was a pleasure to work on and stands out a bit with some different colour from the rest. OC.
-
Indeed - would so turn it into a living space and there are some Amazing sculpts around the 28mm scale coming out. OC.

Hi Ken, thank you kindly mate, yep house painting is not going too bad all downsatiars woodwork done also the stair ways skirting landing window and banister rail painted - upstairs frames Three doors skirting in the bedroom and toilet skirting then its done. OC.
-
Evening all, I have done a bit more this evening - Painted on the Yellow chevrons on the arms - bit fiddly getting the spacing and just putting on thin lines - but I think it will do, also the Red was applied to the cuffs/collar and epaulettes, then the buttons were added in Brass. OC.

She is looking splendid mate, ingenuity is the key to science and imagination key to artistry. OC.

Evening all, a bit of progress this evening - I painted his jacket in mid Green then I started to put some Yellow bars across his chest and stomach, next will be some chevrons on his arms again in Yellow, this is the dress worn by the 55th Ligne for the musician section. OC.
-
You must surely be hand painting as well Greg - no way you could mask off areas for spraying at this scale with all those small bits. OC.
-
Oh - nearly foregot I now have 43 figures finished out of around 125-150. OC.
-
Evening all - so between painting wood bits around the house (did down one side of the stairwell today) I have managed to put some paint on my little drummer, normal precedure - I started with the Black primer this was heated to speed up drying time, then I started with the face basic light skin coat first (couple of coats) then the hands - this was followed by a wash then more light skin followed by more of a rosey pink for the cheeks and slightly darker for the mouth, then the Shako cover got a couple of coats of Matt Black pom pom Red, and hair painted Brown then the side Brass straps, then it was time to do the White body straps. OC.
-
Sounds like a lot of work my friend. OC.
-
Takes a good meal and the total release of the TC remote aided by lots of visits to the kitchen to keep our admirals lubricated. OC.
-
That supprises me Craig with the attention to detail on your models - quite shocked to be honest. OC.
-
Secret cheat - I also use water based paints so any small spills can be wiped up using a soapy sponge or wrag 😉 OC.
-
Yep its a 2.5 Inch brush - its my fave decorating brush - I used to decorate for a living when I was younger hotels mainly, I had more equipment back then but to be honest I just want to make this job a low fuss attempt, its going OK taking it a stage at a time and so far no mess at all even with no sheets down or newspaper cutting in where the skirting meets our carpets is ok all down to a good brush I learned over the years. OC.
