  1. Morning all, just been surfing the net when I came across a bit of info about Napoleon - after his defeat at Waterloo and his surrender to Captain Frederick Maitland of HMS Bellerophon off Rochefort in 1815, he was taken to Plymouth Sound UK where he remained on board, 26 July – 4 August, while his future was decided. This event caused a local and national sensation as thousands took to the water, here is a painting showing his holding before his departure. I think it was very interesting due to my build and also our previous past living in Plymouth over looking the Sound Harbour. Drawing off the net not mine (not quite that old lol) OC.
  2. That is an amazing rescue - that gloss hi sheen finish looks amazing. OC.
  3. Evening all, just been playing around with a few of my existing photos and I decided to have anther go at them - I copped the one photo and the painting of the inside the courtyard of LHS I just brought the levels up a bit to make the scene pop a bit. OC.
  4. Thats some complex work going on there mate - its really taking shape and looking very impressive. OC.
  5. Fantastic to see you back on this and Brill news about the sucess with your sight, I do understand about you changing what you felt stood out on your build, we are our own punishers and critics with our own works - look at me with my re doing of the paintwork on my figures. Looking forward to seeing more now you are back in the seat. OC.
  6. Great start Craig, that body has a resin look to it - nice details. OC.
  7. Morning all, just a tiny update - I have been working on my Lifeguard and Dragoon Guard painting their Whites and Rifle Brown details, I foregot to take pics as I got disstracted. OC.
  8. Good day all, right then - I think I have cracked it, I mixed a larger amoubt of my Lucky ultra matt with a couple of drops of satin and this is the result. OC.
  9. Thanks Ken, I put a coat of satin over all my horses, but I think they came out a wee bit too shiny, so next step will be a mix of my matt and satin to calm it down a bit. OC.
  10. Hi all, I am currently playing around with the correct shade to my Horse bodies - mane and tails, as many photos show then to have a slight sheen to their coat and not be dead flat, I have a satin varnish shade I can use - I just don't wont them too shiny. I am also taking into account how dirty they would have been from all the mud and the heavy rain over night. But think full on dead flat wont cook it. OC.
