I have been thinking about doing a side project in the form of a Two figure dio, of my 10th Hussar attacking a French Ligne figure, I will probably be best off doing a seperate log for it. OC.

Alas we don't live there any more, the castle was a great thing to live close to, in fact our morning dog walks was around the outside castle path and around a large pond that was connected to it, in its medieval past small carracks used to sail up a river leading to the pond then they would load/off-load by a wood jetty attached to the castle.

Evening all, got some more time on the bench with my little figures, I thought my last Two 55th Voltiguers deserved some attention - just some basic colours applied. OC.

Its Pembroke Castle in South Wales UK Craig, its main history with fierce fighting was during the English Civil War in the 1600's, the castle and town was occupied by both sides Twice, but at the end the Royalists occupied it until they where starved out of it with food and water cut off from getting to the castle and town (that was then just an extension of the castle) Pic by me of the ECW re-enactors.

Just to add my own to the Excellent replies here, you could also try the Admiralty Acrylic range of paints, they come in a plastic bottle with an easy push back lid that's attached, they are made especially for wood but also go down well on plastics, its a very high quality paint. OC.

You are doing an Amazing time consuming minute detailing piece of model building - loving this. I was once lucky enough to live 2 minutes away from a castle, the castle (towns curtain wall) was our back garden wall, thought you might like to see a few pics I took of it. OC.

Keep up this great work Alan, I know its a bit tedious with all those stone blocks but boy its so worth it - they look so like the real thing. Some nice castle pics also - there something special about the atmosphere in/around a castle - love them. OC.

Another change of plan (who said Waterloo research was easy lol) anyway one of my 2nd Life Guards is going to be changed for a Kings Dragoon Guard same body slightly different colour details but his head will need changing as he wears a different helmet - higher peak and some hair detail. So here we have a comparison between the 2nd Life Guards (First plate) and the Kings Dragoon Guards OC.

And me. OC.

Hi there Gary, Thank you kindly, I use a blob of Blue Tack thats been squashed down - I just push the base of the figure down onto it, they just about keep in place but pull off easy enough after. OC.

Amazing work. OC.

Evening all, I mananged a couple of hours on my little ones today - I started off by making Two 2nd Life Guards from my old light cavalry spru and gave then a primer, they will be sat on my already made ex Hussar horses that just need their facing colours chsnged. I also decided to dig out of my trash box a few 2nd KGL that I had put a side because I did not think they were molded well enough - so I gave a few primer and the others some paint, I did the same with Three more French that I decided to have a re make of - primed and some basic paint on - faces and hands/belts and other bits of colour. OC.
