  1. 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.
  2. Thank you sincerley Gary for reading my build log and commenting, with regards to the display case - read below. OC.
  3. 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.
  4. I agree with HH those ropes look darn nice and the canons do - all coming together mate. OC.
  5. 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.
  6. Indeed Ken "Barking" orders at his troops to take the farm for "France and La Emperor" OC.
  7. I agree with the others - Beautiful work - please do some more - your talents are superb in this field. OC.
  8. Excellent work - I will take inspiration from your work when I start my buildings on my dio. OC.
  9. So its not just me having a hard time with incompetent delivery companies who can not read when said item says (((Fragile))) OC.
  10. "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.
  11. We had our first walk out to our closest park took my camera - took the normal pondlife Ducks, etc but then saw a Watwer Vole the first one I have seen - OC.
  12. I used to love watching Sharp on tv Sean Bean was excellent in it. OC.
  13. Thank you kindly Denis - thank you for all the likes - I was watching them tot up from you, I will return back to Chally - but in the mean time I am back on my Waterloo dio and working on Marshall Ney and one of his many horses that day. OC.
  14. Indeed mate, I will mix them up abit a few 95th rifles firing down from the wall near the sand pit, and the rest more 2nd KGL. OC.
  15. Yep I am thinking the same - I couldn't believe it when I saw them - they only came out last year. OC.
  16. I remember that scene brother - that was quite a kick and the damage to that water container, chumly was well impressed. OC.
  17. Indeed brother - if it was used or not at Waterloo - I have no idea. OC.
  18. Oh - progress - nearly forgot, I have nearly finished painting Ney's horse (well one of them as he got through Five during the day) I have painted the saddle cover and trim and even done some brass braiding around it - and have painted the other bits and pieces and given him Three white socks - he still needs a bit of toning in and weathering - then I will concentrate on Marshall Ney. No pics as I forgot. OC.
  19. Evening all, I was searching through ebay (as you do) and I came across these bad boys - they are what was missing from my dio from the very first - they have only just come out mid March 21 and they will do brilliantly for my mixed 2nd KGL and 95th Rifles - so I brought a pack. OC.
