Ok,
So,
i went to the martime museum last weekend whilst i was home, saw a very good interactive video which is much similar to the one that is on leah's blog, only 5 mins long but it gives alot of useful information, such as nelson dying at 4.30pm on the day of the battle just as he had been told that the battle had been one. His last words were "i have done my duty". I thought this would be quite useful as we can use this as a time scale for lighting etc.
I also saw the 'jacket', i think thats what i would be called, that is the mythical reason he was killed, if you remember the vidoes we watched in the 1st week you'll reme mber that the myth was he was shot because of the metallic adornments on his coat, the guy on the vid said this didnt work because the adornments were stitched on not badges, im guessing in my opinion the guy hasn't seen the jacket because, although they are stitched on, they are stitched with metallic thread which still would make them shine.
Again this is something i feel we can take forward to use i our modelling so that we ccan make it as close as possible.
Unfortunately the museum does not let you take pictures which i feel is unfair but i dad visit n found it very useful.

Very interesting - I must make some time to go to the maritime museum, I went there as a child with school eons ago - I wonder how much it has changed. Did you go up the hill to the Royal Observatoryy, where the Greenwich meantime line is??
