Chaaaarge!   Well done O.C.

Thank you kindly.

OC.

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.

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

Superb  work.

OC.

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. 

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.

Loving these   - really nice work.

OC.

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.

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

Excellent work.

OC.

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.

The Life Guard looks great. The horse is nice too; quite a dynamic pose.

Thank you  kindly  Alan.

OC.

Looks  like a  nice  sharp kit.

OC.

This  sure is  showing to  be  The Best  kit  of the Sea King  -  looking  so nice.

OC.

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.

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.

Those  figures look    nice  - they  will  paint up nice  Greg.

OC.

Looking good mate.

OC.

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.

Top level modeling   -  lovely  stuff.

OC.

Excellent  designing work brother  CAD  design  is  something I never  did get my head around.

OC.

Tim  this  is looking   really sharp  and tidy,   love the  detail you  are putting into  this.

OC.

Stunning work mate.
