Well done Geoff, that's the bee's knees.

Many thanks Bob, I am very pleased with it, just a bit of tidying up to do.

I haven't done much since last posting but have now got most of the base colours on but still want to do the collar tabs, epaulettes and buttons before starting the final colour coats starting from the helmet and working down.

Very nice Geoff, the helmet looks excellent. Superb reds.

Great work Geoff, & I like the way you preshaded the jacket before painting the scarlet. Nice one!

Many thanks Guys, I'm really pleased with the helmet Bob and glad I had a good think before going in with the Milliput.

I have tried it with other colours Chris as well but the red seems to work best.

Thanks a lot Jim.

Another lovely job, Geoff. I like what you've done with the helmet plate.

Thank you Chris, the plate has five different colours on it, first Green Ochre, then Earth Wash, Bronze, Brass then a very light going over with Gold just for the highlights.
