  1. Evening all, decided to pull my finger out and do a bit, life has dictated my attention of late (doesn't it always) anyways - I have turned my attention to my Kings Dragoon Guard and Life Guard and a bit of colour adjustment to the horses saddle cloths and rolls. OC.
  2. Harry you really are doing a fine job of her, your patience and desire to do the best out of the kit is deffo working my friend P.S cant wait to see how the flags go. OC.
  3. I am quite proud of myself for eventually getting the Shako cockade paint details better, its the circle plate under the plume and on my figures its about a 0.75mm circle to be painted in bands Red White and Blue. OC.
  4. It opens up some different routes you could take with this Craig, all depends on your imagination, OC.
  5. Thank you Andrew, I think I have about 80 waiting in my box for a clear flat top coat prior to cutting them away from their bases. OC.
  6. Evening all, Voltiguers completed, when dry they will be put away in my box ready for top coating. OC.
  7. Oh Hello, good to see you away from wet related objects - good to see you in the alternative section - following with interest Greg. OC.
  8. Excellent progress Alan, and so like the look of your new figures - metal figures do paint up nice as they can have sharper details than plastic ones, with regards to primers for metal figures, I would advise to make sure they get a good soapy wash first to remove and release agants - with the primer, it sunds like your Mr Metal Primer would be OK but I'm not sure 100%. OC.
  9. A friend of mine is really into UFO stuff and he was sent a photo that some had done a screen shot off a video still, would so make an excellent scratch build - OC.
  10. So liking the finish of this, and as others have said the wash/s have made so much difference making the details really stand out. OC.
  11. Harry have you got any of that cooking foil we use to cover roated foods to stop them burning in the oven, that will do the trick. OC.
  12. Mate check this out might help - http://www.modelwarships.com/features/current/flags/flags.html OC.
  13. You could build them up first (Flagstaff/Flag/Lanyard/Foil) on the bench before fitting the whole assembly to the Ship, then just run the ends of the lanyards down to the deck when the Flagstaffs are set. OC.
  14. What I would do Is to make up your flag with the foil and lanyard rope trapped inside then glue and form the shape you want before attaching to the flagstaffs/mast. OC.
