I have been searching the net for Rifle and Musket firing still and have managed to find these - Baker Rifle as used by the 1st and 2nd Light KGL and the Luneberge Regiment and the common Musket as used by the 5th KGL (Red Jackets) and also the French. I have done a couple of screenshots to show the different stages of smoke from the Breech and then the Muzzle, it gives a few smoke options. Still not mine - got them off the net. OC.

Keeping my head in the game.....

Some Excellent work going on here brother, love the attention to detail and alround work you put into it. OC. -
Like others have said - thats an excellent recovery. OC.
-
Excellent work Ron. OC.

I will have to have a fiddle with my odds and ends. OC.

Morning all, I have been toying with the idea of trying to do some mock smoke coming from the rifles - muskets, I have been looking on the net how to do it - cotton fibres like in cotton wool wrapped around a wire and glued then the thin wire wrapped around the end of the barrel - or in my case glued to the inside edge of the bayonets with the cotton pulled over to hide the wire. Some who are really good even simulate the orange - yellow colour of the flash and some blackening but I have seen them using an airbrush to do it (think it would be difficult with brushes) So I am not sure as if its not done right it might look tacky and spoil the Whole thing. OC.

So I have now flat coated 30 of my figures and put them to One side, and fixed down another Fifteen on top of my paint bottles ready for the same treatment. OC.

If it helps at all - you can look through my build log for her - might give some insight into her. OC.
-
Indeed brother. OC.

Yes I had heard the new film was very lacking more of a bio just on him, and not very accurate regarding the battle. OC.

Morning all, so - where I am at right now, I have flat coat varnished about 30 of my French dudes with more to do, I also have some British that need the same treatment - however I have ordered a bottle of Loctite Flexible Gel Super Glue ( I have read a lot of good thngs about this glue) the idea is when it arrives I will cut away what ever figures I have done, that can then be placed on my dio dependent on areas being finished - like the road and orchard. OC.

Really nice work Patrick. OC.
-
That is looking so nice. OC.

Is this the same Frigate - OC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protector_(1779_frigate)

This sounds ambitious but good luck, I also part finished this kit, I got the Hull 95% finished then gave up on her. OC.

Looking good, I hear your woes over decal placing, I went through it with my old mossie build where some decs just wouldn't settle. OC.

Looking very good - cant beat that grass medium. OC.

So I can confirm - warming up my Acrylic Varnish does help the flow and dulling (with a Matt Varnish) I think our temp being lower over this side of the pond to you guys over there may have something to do with it as at a guess I would have been brushing it on at a temp of roughly 12*C - 53*F but heating it up to around 25*C seems to help - still needs a good shake after warming though. OC.
-
What an excellent way of applying the grass - static science in a bottle. OC.
-
Thank you kindly. OC.
-
Update - I think my trick of warming up the bottle has worked, as the finish seems more flat now - Third time Lucky. OC.

Evening all, I have been pulling my hair out applying a few coats of my Mig Ammo Lucky Ultra Matt Acrylic varnish, despite shaking it till me arm nearly falls off and brushing it on very thnly - do you thnk I can get the Blues on the jacket arms to go (fabric shade) flat - Nope, they are staying like a slight satin sheen, simply dont know the reason or answer. OC.
