What an amazing build - having seen her in the flesh in the 70s at Pompy I guess I have a vested interest in following your fine work. OC. -
All the best mate, only thing I would add - do what I didn't - take it real easy with the second layer take all the time with each row, wish I had when I did my Gryhound Frigate. Loving your work Edward. OC.

Check out some of the videos on painting 28mm figures and also the ones about the 2015 Waterloo reinactment - Superb event. OC.

I will do my best but trust me I'm no expert at figure painting, I was watching a video on an expert painting these figures at this scale - what he did was amazing and without uisng glasses - even down to painting the eye details and shading for cheek bones. OC.

Thank you Edward, I think she is one of the most beautiful planes ever made - and so so loud, I stood about Twenty feet from one at a show even when they spooled them up - what a sound. OC.

I think you "Nailed it" with that finish - great stuff bro. OC.

Evening all, I decided to crack this open again and try to progress it further - Firstly I had to do more dry fitting of the two internal sections (Front cockpit bath/front u/c bay) and the rear main u/c bay, it took a lot of testing / fettling - testing / fettling rinse and repete several times, as the Two fuse halves were just not meeting smoothly, eventualy I got them how they should be. I decided to glue the sections in the one side first - then some more checks and all was ok, so I added a slight bevel on the edges and applied glue to the one face and offered them up together, I used some tape and gentle hand presure to line them up while they set. After I worked on the seems with my knife and fine wet and dry. So his is where I am at. OC.

It will literally only be just the cut down farm and a small amount of room at the front - it will have to fit a board no longer than 2.5 feet long and just under 2 feet wide, as it will have to sit on our side unit in a case that I will have to buy later. Thats why I am estimating a head count of between 50-100 consisting of - KGL (Red coats) KGL Light (Green and Grey) 95th Regiment (Sharps) (All Green) French Line Infintry and a few French Heavy Cavalry.

Thank You Roger. OC.

I just noticed the none slip patch on the wing under the cockpit door, where a bit of it has broken away - should I leave as is, or touch it up with some Nato Grey? OC.

Evening all, hows the popcorn going? today was a milestone as she now sits on her wheels, I also worked on the prop/spinner assembly - it needed zero clean up just painted then when each part was dry I put it together, after I applied a few decals tipped the ends with yellow after masking, then glued it in place. Just noticed in the pics a couple of writting decals have come away on the props - must sort that. OC.
