Old Collingwood

Great  start  Craig,    that  body  has a  resin  look to  it  -  nice details.

OC.

This  came  out so  nice  -  build  -  paint   loverly  job.

OC.

Very  nicely   done  Craig.

OC.

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.

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.

Lovely job Craig   -  really nice finish.

You're on the right track for the horses, OC. The ones across the road are pretty shiny, when they're clean and dry. The cavalrymen had to keep their horses clean and fit, or they'd become infantrymen.  😉 That slight sheen sounds about right. 👍

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.

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.

Thank  you  Alan.

OC.

Just  seen   my build  has  just hit  100K    views    -   Thats  Amazing,  so  much  thanks  from me  to everyone  who has  taken the time  to  view  my build.😃

OC.

Afternoon all,    I managed  to  do a bit  more  today  -  I am  working on the  remaining  group  including my Two  British  cavalry,  I  added  light  brushing  of  flat coat  with  my trusty  Mig Ammo  Lucky  ultra matt,  when  new  it  brushes on fine,  they  still  have some  detail  painting  to  do.

OC.

This gives me  so  much  inspiration  for  when I tackle  my HMS Hood  dio.

OC. 

Moving forward  I have  a  few more  French  chaps  that  need their  Blue  darkening, then  I will  move onto  painting the  rest  that are built  and  finish off  by  building any  french I have  left  in my  stash  as   we can not have enough  French   shown attacking the  farm.

Thank you Mark. I'll do that, there is quite a pile to sort through and some might find them interesting.

It seems I'll have the time.. I got a bit of a knock back yesterday. I had the two week post surgery exam which I was thinking would be a bit of a formality. Good news - cornea healing nicely. Bad news - two more weeks before I can wear a contact lens again. At this rate there is going to be some authentic moss growing on Castillo Loarre. Oh well at least everyone else's progress is excellent to read

Alan

Take it easy Alan,  no rush  we aint going anywhere.

OC.

First class  work  Craig.

OC.

Loverly  work.

OC.

I love this, I have always  had  an interest in space  stuff  including UFO  crafts  (and yes  I have seen  and  photographed  a  few strange things)
