Thank you so much Alan. OC. -
Evening all, I have been through all my moulds and made up the last Five French figures and another wondead one - they will receive the same as the other bunch. OC.

That would be an interesting video log of it when its done, don't know how it could be done though? OC.

Ratlines how I remember Ratlines - best advice just take your time and don't try to rush them. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, I hope to build it so there is different pockets of action going on in the different parts of the dio, that kind of tell a story. OC.

Thank you Andrew, so far I think I have made about Sixty 2nd and 5th KGL in and around the farm complex, I have about another Fifteen I can make, then there will be my Three Cuirassiers about Fifty or so French 54th and 55th ligne will be made (but may try to add some more if I have the space) and I will add a British Hussar or Two and my Five resin 5th KGL wounded. Will keep adding them till there is no more space. OC.

I think you have done an amazing job brother and you are finding out the different adjustments as you move along - its a sign of commitment on your shoulders - Hats off to you brother - but also Thank you for all you do. I was thinking (what also made my Grey matter churn) was the resin figures I have been sent for my dio - the resin material is deffinatley Brittle It snaps away (sometines in the wrong place) is there no way of using a more pliable plastic based resin that is not as brittle with slightly more flex in it? sorry if its a Supid question - I dont know enough about how 3D resin works. OC.

Thank you brother, that is so nice of of you to say - its all a learning curve that we all go through. OC.

Evening all, some more progress today - firstly I had an error to rectify after doing more reserch - my Tirailleurs that I had made where not part of the attack on LHS they were sent in to deffend Pappolette Farm against the Prussians, the biggest difference is the different Shakos with extra brass braids and Higher plumes, so I decided a little surgery was needed "off with there heads" I was able to swap them over for the correct heads. I also made up some more 54th/55th including another injured fello. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, there are no plastic pre-moulded figures in the kit ranges - to show injured, so a little bit of interpretation is required (and heat) OC.
-
Found you brother, just read through your amazing work flow, I know I said it before - but its amazing what you are doing - takes certain skills to do both of these areas and you are excellent at both - keep it going brother. OC.

Would it be too late to buy a sheet of vaneer wood decking and lay that down? OC.

Evening all, I have started on another group of 54th/55th Ligne figures including one who is shot, how I achieved his pose was to use the hairdryer and soften the plastic enough to be able to bend the torso, then I worked on his arms and bent his head back a bit. OC.
-
Evening all, washes added then dust dry brushing - think they are dirty enough - OC.
-
Wonder if Denis means these that I have marked with Red lines? OC.
