Thanks Ken, I am quite looking forward to working with MDF its all laser cut but I will super detail it as Its a bit 2 dimensional, I will be adding a floor in the farm house - so I can put some of the figures firing from the bedroom windows, also with some of the brick detail (its flat so I will try to show the mortar lines better) I will probably work on each section while they are flat before I glue the sections together. Then there will be the painting/weathering to do. OC.

Hiya Kevin, no mate still a fair way to go yet - I am about a Third of the way there - I am hoping to make about 100-150 figures, it will be quite busy in the space I have - but that was how it was back then. OC.

Some news (exciting I hope) when I have finished these bunch and now possibly the drummer boy - I will be (wait for it)..........be starting on the farm complex - base - scenery, I will have to rearrange the table to create more room as the base is quite large at 3 feet by nearly 2 feet, and I still need room for my lamp. OC.

Thanks Mark, I have been able to track down the painting details for them for each unit in the 54/55th ligne regiment, so I should be able to include even just the one. OC.
-
Thanks Edward, I might include one then. OC.

I have a couple in my stash - I will have to find out if any where close to LHS during the attacks - I have not read anything so far about any drummers being involved in the attack. OC.

Evening all, some more progress in my Three hour schedule - the vest are painted an off White/Buff colour and the trousers dull White. Just to get an idea of the size of them - they are ontop of Admiralty Paints small tubs. OC.

The original maker of the glass case came out to collect the second broken one - he was going to repair it and bring it back out to us - it was not fair on him doing that so I to him to call it quits and keep the money I had paid in good faith to cover all his costs. I found a larger plastics (acrylics) company and did an online request got a quote accepted it - it took about Three weeks to make and deliver. Its been an expensive endeavour for a display case - deffo a One Off. OC.
-
Evening all, A bit more progress this evening - I have painted the White cross belts and haversack belts - any untidiness will be cleaned up with the Dark Blue in the Jacket. OC.

You have done a Fine job chris - one question - when are we all coming out with you in her maiden voyage - will you get us all in? OC.
