Evening all following with popular requests I ahve started on the KGL Line Infantry that was sent down to support the Light Infantry defending the Farm, constructed and primed with flat back acrylic, these ones for some reason have better back detail so I think I can leave off the packs. OC.
-
Will look forward to some info from you from the book Ken. OC.
-
Yep , the plan (for want of a word) is to place the KGL light all over the farm with thier rifles, also mixing it with thier line brothers, then I will use the same figures when I get more to do Sharpy boys 95th little group defending the end of the wall between the sandpits and the gravel road. Sort of a plan. OC.
-
Got to wait on some Green paint for the KGL Light colours, but will do a few when I get them and paint. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, yep I think messing around trying to correct thier backs will be more than its worth. OC.
-
OK just for you I will build a KGL Line Infantry person resplendent in his Red and Grey uniform and with his Musket.☺️ OC.
-
Here are the packs with everything on them - OC.

Its great having you showing us all your work Ray, please continue to its an inspiration and a pleasure to watch. OC. -
Do you know Mark even the coat tails are moulded onto the packs - so they assume everyone will be fitted. OC.
-
It would have been an excellent idea if they had thought about people not wanting to put the packs on. OC.
-
Trouble with doing that - it will still leave a flat back from how they moulded then to take the packs - even the straps that are moulded onto the front and over the shoulders suddenly stop where the packs go - it would be very noticable. OC.
-
I agree with everyone - its really looking swell and those canons look Superb. OC.

Superb Asto work, I too used to have a dabble at DSO objects managed a few years back to get these Two - Seven Sisters and Jupiter and moons. OC.
-
Yep, I have to steady mine too - I kind off use one hand against the other to steady it, and slow my breathing down a bit (hence why I can't chat with the admiral while Im painting). You do loverly work on your ship build - love what you are doing. OC.
-
Thank you kindly for those kind words, it just having a steady hand - a good magnifyer and small paint brushes, and practice as the more you do and get a feeling for how they go - they do improve. OC.
-
I have finished my 55th Ligne Voltigeur. And another group photoshoot. OC.
-
I havn't found much reading about that online - Just the battle partculars, even the kit makers seem to all fall into the same category of throwing in the packs, would help if they made the torso's complete without the cut outs in the back for the packs and the flat detail less backs wont help trying to keep stuff off thier backs. OC.
-
Thanks Ken. OC.
-
Thease are the colour plates I have been working off - they are not mine but off an excellent artist who designed them (they are accurate I understand) OC.
-
And if you was like me - covering the whole living room floor with them - ok till mum wants to go into the kitchen and walks over them😭 "mum I was winning that battle"...... OC.
-
Welcome Kevin, nice having you along, takes me back to when I was a kid with those Airfix Waterloo sets and box's of terrible soft plastic 1/72 soldiers. OC.
-
Thank you for that Edward, I have to put the back packs on as there is a huge cut out in thier backs for the packs, also the backs of them are flatened for the pack so it would be a lot of work to rectify. OC.
-
Evening all, more progress this time the 55th Ligne Voltigeurs (the Third section of the 55th Regimant) It's painted minus the back pack that I need to work on. OC.
-
A company do an excellent MDF kit of the farm - you put it together and paint it yourself then add what ever scenary you want. OC.
