  1. I know Ken, its got GLASS Handle with care tape all over the crate, and I know shawn told them what it was being re deliverd and they had to be extra careful. OC.
  2. Thank you Phil, I am sure it will sort itself out - just a nuisance and a lot of hassle. OC.
  3. Thank you Edward - To me it should be a Two man job to move it around so the glass case does not move around inside the wooden case. OC.
  4. Display case arrived this lunchtime Smashed again the whole one side all fragments inside the box - I am fuming, fed up really can't be bothered with all this hassle - its like its mission impossible, I rung shawn up in fairness he was gutted aswell and promises to get it fixed and even deliver it himself if needs be, the trouble is the wooden case he has put the glass unit in has not got enough absorbtion material around the glass and a small amount of movement inside the box where the unit can move, also its not being handled by two people - infact the driver who delivered it had it under his arm.🥵🥵🤬🤬. OC.
  5. Great work with those Tiny tiny pieces mate and the paintwork is looking mighty fine. OC.
  6. Same as the other guys - great eye for detail Gary - I could see your ideas in this format turning to all kinds of subjects and how displayable. OC.
  7. Evening all, firstly a Huge thanks for all the likes - I know its been an on and off build taking some time - but we will get there (one year) lol. Anyway some news today Shawn the display unit maker has sent my reworked unit out and will arrive (not broken) tomorrow, it is the exact same size (good) and made with toughened glass - so I expect it to be heavier, bad news its coming with the same courier who brought/collected the first one (he better not have an attitude this time) OC.
  8. Thank you sincerley Gary for reading my build log and commenting, with regards to the display case - read below. OC.
  9. If I'm not modelling I like to get photos of my fave predator Buteo Buteo Common Buzzard, this scene really caught me - Two having a fight or an aggressive mating - not sure. OC.
  10. I agree with HH those ropes look darn nice and the canons do - all coming together mate. OC.
  11. I often used to fall asleep on the bus home from work - I used to do that nodding dog motion or fall against the passenger next to me - would often have passengers laughing at me - on a couple of occasions I would go past my stop and have to walk back. OC.
  12. Indeed Ken "Barking" orders at his troops to take the farm for "France and La Emperor" OC.
  13. I agree with the others - Beautiful work - please do some more - your talents are superb in this field. OC.
  14. Excellent work - I will take inspiration from your work when I start my buildings on my dio. OC.
  15. So its not just me having a hard time with incompetent delivery companies who can not read when said item says (((Fragile))) OC.
  16. "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.
