Thanks Phil, yes I have seen that, it is the main image for her and comes on the info sheet with the bust. Still debating with myself if I should use the dress colour in the picture which is described by the manufacturers as creamy yellow. I do like the yellow dress and, although the bust is based on that picture, the headdress is slightly different. Will live with it a bit then decide about re painting the dress.
 
sBlimey, I don't look in for a few days and they're done. Lovely work, I esepcially like Louise.
 
Well done on both ladies especially Queen Louise. Both versions of Louise look good. I thought the yellow dress looked fine, but I can understand why you changed it. Been in that position before, most recently with Life Miniatures ATA pilot trying to get RAF blue right.

Many thanks. Yes, it was simply a change to get nearer to the reference picture I quite liked both colours. Have a similar issue at the moment with getting an RAF blue, bit of a tricky one isn’t it:unsure:

She certainly was Nap. Sadly only lived to 34 years of age unlike Victoria who died at 88 in 1970. Although Victoria looked very stern and slightly manly in the Hussars uniform, she was also very beautiful

In my opinion Viktoria was one of the great beauties of her age, which is why I wanted to acquire a copy of that bust which have thankfully done thanks to your thread
 
You've done a great job of painting on these Graham. Well done indeed. Aren't you glad you returned to the hobby?

Cheers
Chris

Totally agree. Victoria and of course Olga and Tatiana Romanov were all very striking. Hope to see what you do with your Victoria, it deserves being done better than I can achieve.
