Very nice work. OC. -
Hi there all, I have decided my next bunch of figures will the 1st Tirailleurs - they are very similar to the Ligne regiments but for a higher plume instead of a pom pom and knee high gaitors. Pics when I start them. OC.

What a Gorgeous build - just shows what is possible with a little imagination. OC.

Evening all, over the last couple of days I have been re - working some of my figures - starting with the French 54/55th Ligne regiment as firstly I wasn't happy with the tunic shade of Blue, I mixed quite a bit of Flat Black into my dark Prussian Blue and got a slightly darker shade, I the set about re painting the Blue areas, to day I have been concentrating improving some of the details including giving the faces Two/Three levels of shading and colour variations - from slightly rose'y cheeks to highlight areas on the noses and over the cheek bones - same with the hands, I think they look better - they are more tidy now than when I first painted them - guess that's what happens to us - we all improve the more practice we have. OC.

I have to say It (but please don't shoot me) - you know what she is Crying out for ? - some superbly painted figures, that would so compliment a Fantastic design and give the ship some life to go with all the details - I am not biased - of course I am not lol. OC.

Evening all, right that's Five more KGL Light finished and put away in the box - ready for my next instalment. Oh, I also gave one of the chaps and eye patch after he received and eye injury. OC.
-
So nice of you to say. OC.
-
Thank you kindly mate - I still have someway to go till I get them better - getting the faces right is the challenge as most figure painters use different shades to hightlight/shadow the face and some use a fine Black pointed pen for the eyes. OC.

The only kit I ever built in 1/700 was a Dragon type 42 Destrorer RN, I had to fabricate the front bulwarks to replicate the only version to have it HMS Edinburgh, I never bothered with any PE for it as it was my first road back into modelling. Sorry for hijacking your thread mate. OC.

Evening all, a bit more progress tonight - I have been carrying on with the detail painting on 2nd and 1st KGL - takes so long even to work on Five at a time - the Sixth one is having some time out for swearing, lol - have also done a bit of shading on the faces - not quite as good as the Perry ones as the moulded details are not quite as crisp. OC.

Nah I know Chris - he will have his sanding block with him even on the lake. OC.

You sanded the bugger - you could have warned us with dicky hearts.😁 OC.

I tried one of those once - took me a month to paint our living room and the snoring did my head in - seriously though that's a nice finish. OC.

15' Dinghy by Bedford - FINISHED - 1:1 scale
Old Collingwood replied to Bedford's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
That looks so nice. OC. -
Thank you Edward, fiddly little things tuckking the brush around some of the details, have to use my finest brush. OC.

Evening all, right the table is in the box - will be tackled after the figures are finished - talking of figures more detail painting, I have been doing basically the same as the others Buff and Black coloured belts and Buff coloured haversacks, also I have painted on the shoulder ruffs with a few loaseded layers of Black paint. OC.
