  1. I agree, I just wonder whether it is taught at schools or if self expression is the priority.
  2. The internet is littered with bad spelling, no-one ever corrects these mistakes, it would belittle the poster and make them feel bullied.
  3. Thanks guys, I read that at Waterloo, because of the weather, they wore blue trousers. The uniform as moulded isn't quite spot on, but they're not a bad set for that.
  4. Yes, some modellers forget that these were toys we built ourselves to play with, to fight those battles that our parents and grandparents told us about. Working features were essential.
  5. Those extra crew figures are nice I couldn't assemble the fuselage without painting the interior first
  6. Not a full set, but a restoration. Summer dress Winter dress with a sepia wash
  7. I'm calling them done.
  8. I'm undecided about how to finish the Grenadiers. These are in summer dress, painting is complete, but no wash yet. I could just spray with Matt varnish, or I might add grass scatter to their bases. These have winter gaiters. Same condition and options as the summer squad. This batch have been washed with diluted Vallejo Game Wash Dipping Formula 73300 Sepia Shade. I could scatter their bases (or leave them), but they will me sprayed Matt. Decisions, decisions...
  9. The Old Guard are advancing.
  10. Yes, I've heard brake fluid works too.
  11. 52nd Oxfordshire Light Regiment The Light Infantry were uniformed in a similar fashion to the Line, but retained the stovepipe shako, which bore a bugle-horn badge and green plume. The shako with the tuft at the front. Officers were distinguished by wings and carried the curved flank company sabre. Other ranks also wore wings and carried a shorter and lighter version of the Brown Bess musket. Drummers wore reversed colours and had lace decoration to facings and to sleeve arms and back seams of the jacket. Their sleeves were covered with five, lace chevrons, point up; drums were brass, the hoops usually in the facing colour.
  12. The Oxfordshires are done. I bought these 1/32 part set recently. I sprayed Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner on them and left them overnight. This morning I washed off what I could. I have started painting them.
  13. Several companies issued it Stateside. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/viewtopic.php?p=1809#p1809
  14. Bought 15 June 2007 for £10.50 I won't be using the kit decals, I have ordered Print Scale decal sheet PSL72075.
