  1. Any way keeping my mind occupied........the figure I won the seller his going to take it off the base as it will make it easier for me when I come to fix it down onto my dio, I will be doing quite a lot of re painting and face work, to get it the way I want it. The history behind Marshal Ney at Waterloo - he was about Third in command and commanded the Left hand colums, they were responsible not only for attacking Wellingtons center but also Hougoumont Chateau and La Heye Sainte, he gave orders first for an advanced party to attack and take L.H.S but they were driven back, after he was responsible for a couple of attacks on the British/German flanks, also he led the charge with the French cavelry units against the combined British quares, then he was given orders direct off "Boney" to lead an attack on L.H.S and only then did he drive the KGL out due to them running out of ammo. I intend to place Ney close to the Farm along with the attacking French units. OC.
  2. Thanks Ken, Im already on a Vit plan - have been over the last year, If I took anymore I would rattle. OC.
  3. Bit of a downer this eve - my brother is in hospital for un associated reasons - but while in there he came into touch with someone covid positive - yep you guessed it - he is now positive but so far no symptoms, he is Isolated and beieng checked and tested regular. Nothing I can apart from checking up on him over the phone. OC.
  4. Superb work mate - really top notch work - I would be well proud of workmanship like that. OC.
  5. Is that last picture for Greg down under😉 Think we all share your pain with the tiny parts Its coming along nicely. OC.
  6. I need a Marshal Ney to attack the farm so I have sent off a bid in Ebay - its a pre painted one but I will re paint it in my own style should I win it - wish me luck. OC.
  7. Same as What Lou said - Amazing work on the pipes and the rest of the build. OC.
  8. Evening all, right the bottom tub was put on one side but no primer has touched it - weather is too rubbish, so next in the build is the top plate, this starts with a couple of fittings underneath, then the instructions call for the extra armour plate on the front glacies plate, this has quite a few fittings before being glued down. OC.
  9. Thank you Denis, I though all things considered it was worth it compared to what I could have done myself. OC.
  10. If that was me it would have been one of those gritting my teeth moments. OC.
