  1. So sorry for your loss of your loved one - no words can mean anything at this time - just lots of love. OC.
  2. So I have made up my Royal Horse Guard from a miss match of parts - he is just dry fitted on his steed that will probably need some re painting as wel as the figure. OC.
  3. After telling you all about our sad news and hearinh Kevins Devasting news about his Boi, I thought it would be ok to post a pic of our sad loss - Still miss her. OC
  4. If memory serves me I think the 1.5 x 3 is for your First layer of planking and the 1 x 4 is for your Second planking to go over the top of the first, as long as you have coverd the area from the keel to the top of the frames on both sides that will be your platform to start you second planking including the whale and profille planks that stick out a bit proud of the planking. Oh and then to make up the upper wall width (in my case - 3.5) after planking both layers on the hull, you can cut back the frames level with the false deck and add the inner wall planks of 1 x 3 or 1 x 4 what ever ones you choose. OC.
  5. I am trying to work a wash quiry out - the washes I use on my figures (all acrylics) tend to make the Matt paint surfaces on my figures slightly shinny like a satin finish, I wonder if the washes are like a satin texture to help them flow well, I was wondering if I could mix a 50-50 mix of my acrylic ultra matt varnish in with my wash in my wet palette - wonder if it would work to stop making the figures go shinny. OC.
  6. I have been looking through my stash to try to make up a single Royal horse Guard, and I have a mash-up of parts - bottom section from my old Hussars - torso and arms and head from my Union brigade, I also have a single galloping horse with the correct saddle - pack etc - it should work (perkaps......) OC.
  7. I have decided after doing some research - to change the colour of the Horse under my LG as it should really be a Black large horse and not a Bay, also I have decided to add a single Royal horse Guard, as they where also involved in the mass attack on the French lines, he will be placed near the kitchen gardens hedge. The Blue in the jacket below will be darker as it will be just a Dark Blue. OC
  8. Sorry about the quality of the pictures (hand (((shake))) still more progress some Yellow in places White on one of the belts, Haversacks and water bottles done. OC.
  9. This sure is showing to be The Best kit of the Sea King - looking so nice. OC.
  10. Evening all, a wee bit more progress - I have been working on the Life Guards helmet main centre crest Black with a Red strip running along the centre (will need flat coating later) also I have painted his plume Red and White. OC.
  11. Still more work on my Cavalry duo - I made a plume for the Life Guards helmit as it was missing one, the gloves have been painted as have the swords - coming on. OC.
  12. Evening all, I have been slowly working on my Two cavalry figures - my Life Guard and my Kings Dragoon Guard starting with my Kings Dragoon Guard, pictures are a bit pixalated and fuzzy as I zoomed in a bit to far with my iphone. OC.
  13. Excellent designing work brother CAD design is something I never did get my head around. OC.
  14. Tim this is looking really sharp and tidy, love the detail you are putting into this. OC.
