  1. Evening all, I managed an Hour on the bench - first I gave the Five some primer, then I dry brushed some dust on the previous injured group. OC.
  2. Fascinating work Patrick, I have been over one of the replica's at Brixham UK - its a loverly little ship. OC.
  3. Happy New Year Everyone, start as I mean to go on so it was back on the bench - I sorted an answer out to my dismounted cuirassier situation - make another one Sword waving to go with him, I also found another Three French 54/55th that I could make up - same as the others but it adds to the head count. OC.
  4. A few options there Harry - place the swastika first then the covers and either paint the covers the same colour as the swastika or paint it Grey, as I asume the swastika is a decal - or is it to be masked and painted?. If its a masked painted swastika then I would place the covers first and just paint over them. OC.
  5. Happy New Year to everyone, hope everyone has a Peaceful Healthy 2023. Thank You All for all the input and likes on my build - there will be more Next Year. OC.
  6. I checked that site out for him also Ken. OC.
  7. That is looking Superb my friend - it looks perfectly smooth with level frames. All the best to you and yours for the New Year. OC.
  8. Both arms and the musket are cast as one - the only option would be to pull both arms off and replace with a sabre holding arm and empty arm. OC.
  9. Not sure if these might help - I found them on the net - OC.
  10. This really will look super when its all together - with all the seperate works you have doing - tied in together. OC.
  11. If I was building this kit again using the understanding of the frame problems, I think my work around would start before I even attached the frames to the centre frame, I would probably cut out the farmes then place them together in sequence but with the top inner cut out square and level with each one, then I could compare the lower tapper where they meet the keel, and also compare the frame profiles against each and add some wood to the frames where needed. As long as all the frames on a straight run are level on the keel line, and also the correct faring or angle against each other - then that is a start. OC.
  12. Super finish - Boy do I remember that 1/24 Harrier it was one of the first kits brought for me off my dad when I was a kid - remember the sliding canopy. OC.
  13. I was watching a documetary on Smithsonian about the Battle of Leyte Gulf giving a real insight into how powerful Yamoto was. OC.
