Hi folks
Still working on this " sausage " ....patience and trialling are the key
Mean while ...verbal update .....face all finished ...happy with that
In process of painting the blue uniform .....when ....que drum roll .......
....I caught the caplines which then proceeded to be eaten by the carpet monster ....
No repair possible ..so , they came off fully , all cleaned up , new caplines in place using very thin putty
Waiting to totally dry and harden ...
So started my next project ...the TFB Hessian Fusilier
Stay tuned
Happy benchtime

Verbal update ...can't get to my bench this early due to sleeping Mrs Nap !
Completed the new caplines , after moving them over to more central on his back , tidied areas up .....just the blue to finish off ....Oh and ......make and add the drop over plume
Must admit I am pleased with the result on both these , will look good together
Happy benchtime

Hi folks
After much trying using wire, silk, lead wire and a tad bit of muttering under my breath !
Gradually built up with MS putty , finalising the surface now , then once dry will paint and fit
Reckon it's better shaped than the original
Will post pics in Completed forum once in place and put link on this WIP
All comments , suggestions welcome of course
Happy days
