Old Collingwood Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share #1231 Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Evening all, some more progress this evening - firstly I dry fitted the roof with figures to the house, slightly tight fit now - I will have to see what I can relieve before I fasten the roof down, so I put the roof to one side and started building the Piggery and small gate surround, the surround was just a case of painting then gluing in place, the Piggery is a Two stage building that needed building, I then started on the Whitewash on the walls and inside the larger of the Two. The Piggery is just dry fitted to each and the wall at the moment. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share #1234 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Evening all, so where were we "oh yes - building the piggy pen" so I painted it in the same colours as the house, then a bit of a wash - then it was glued in place. I also re visited the the house roof, and after a bit of fiddling (putting a few of the riflemen on a strict diet) I was able to get a good dry fit, so I thought "go for it" and without delay the roof was glued on, it needed a bit of PVA into both ends of the gable ends and with the aid of heat - it was forced to make a good connection. Admiral want's me to build a real version for us to live in..... So this is where I am at the moment.

Roger Pellett Posted July 28, 2021 Share #1240 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) OC, Nice Work! This is picky, but I suspect that the snipers firing from the upper story windows would have sheathed their bayonets. There would have been no use for them and they would have added to the difficulty of handling these already long weapons in and out of the windows. Another thought. Since you have defenders armed with rifles, wouldn’t they have been the ones at the windows? Oops, I believe that these guys are riflemen. I assumed that all riflemen wore green jackets.

Roger Thank you for looking in Roger, to be honest I think you might be right about the riflemen firing from the dorma windows, I just made the figures up using the rifles that came pre made like that - I will adjust that though, Major Barring had the Red Jackets (5th KGL) with muskets firing from the farmhouse, they were the smaller contingent but still quite a few of them where in and around the farm complex, but the majority were the Green Jackets 2nd Light KGL with rifles.

Alan Thank you Alan, its all a learning curve - firstly the figure building and painting, then the buildings, then the scenery trying to make that look lifelike. This project always was set out to be an accurate Diorama and not a wargaming set piece, thats why I will be placing the figures off thier bases and glued down by the feet (same with the horses).

Old Collingwood Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share #1245 Posted July 29, 2021 Next stage started is the Stable block, after viewing an over head view of the farm complex it became apparent that this kit is too long one way but corect the other - its supposed to be a square more or less, so I placed the stables sections on the table and looked at any ways to reduce the length of the one stable, I found out I would be able to trim it down with my sharp blade and ruler and create another slot, I did a similar thing to the outer wall of the one stable by trimming the end, this reduced it by about Three inches and will make the whole thing more square in shape.

Old Collingwood Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #1248 Posted July 30, 2021 Evening all, some boring progress tonight that doesn warrant a photo - I have been doing some - sizing, marking and cutting to make the stables and base the correct size, this took some thinking about as the pieces interlock including a sloted section, but after a few hours I got there. Tomorrow will be the start of painting the individual pieces including some more brick work. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share #1257 Posted August 5, 2021 Evening all, a bit more progress on the stables - I got the inside lower brick work painted Black (to match the farmhouse as its like that all the way round the inside walls) but after chatting with the admiral - as the room was starting to look like a dump tip with my table cluttered and messy making the rest of the room look messy, so I had a tidy up and put away most of my tools/tubs etc, then latter when I returned to do some more work on the build I just got out what I needed not everything. Its the pitfall of not having a work area or man cave. Anyway the next bit of work that was started and finished was a pre cut section of floor flag paving - I put a sand fill in down first, then picked out the different flag stones in different shades of Grey, and finished off with a couple of dirt washes as it would have been well worn. Foregot to take a pic - will tomorrow. OC.
