Marc, the three laces on the right and left point opposite to the ones on the pales,that is the pattern they made those leces on the uniform.
On a regular coat you will have 3 large buttons under the right lapel and you will have 3 button holes on the left hand side.
in here is the same but with the lace facing opposite.
Thanks for looking.
cheers

I understand and see it. But on the picture it seems that the buttons (laces) are just a little away from the side as the buttons above those three. If i look at the drawings they are in line.

Thanks for your words, i hope i could do a good or decent work on this one.
It takes so many hours to fix the lace that is almost painful.
Best regards

I'll try again.
There are 7 laces on the blue rim. The last three (counting from up to down) on the blue on the right side seems a little bit away from the edge of the blue if I compare these with the four above. On the left side they are perfect in line.
In the scetches they look also in line.

I smashed few of the laces today and i wanted to kick myself in the butt.
but i was able to make a better positioning on the laces and i am really happy with it, call it a happy accident.
I primed the figure few minutes ago.
cleaned it up thoroughly with alcohol, heat it up with a hair dryer for few minutes and applied the primer.
Gave the figure around 3 light coats of primer, then i let it dry or 15 minutes and applied some heat for few mins. with the hair dryer.
I 've also tilted his head a little bit to the side and modified hi lips and opened them to give it the scene and role i want for this guard,i used a sharp exacto knife to opened the mouth and then i use greenstuff to build up his lips , call it a plastic surgery for free!
