Gorgeous work! But the head looks beat glossy. Put some mat varnish for realistic hair look.

Hi Ben-nl ,
Nearly finished my 11th Hussar, like you I' m adding the extras eg sword . Did you fix his busby straps on ,How do they fix ? hanging down or under busby? I ' m a old timer returned to the hobby ,also a new PF member .Still coming to girds with it all .
Were the rings to hold on sword etc hard to make ? I 'v a few ideas on how to go about them .
Great Painting job on your bust .

Hi Barrie, thanks for comments about this bust. I had drill a little hole under the red "flamme" [?] and put the two straps in the hole. For the sword and sabretache, I had make 5 rings (3 for sabretache and 2 for sword). Glued tot the both objects and drilled a hole in the 5 straps-end. Sorry for bad English. I hope it helps.
