love the subject, and love your work. Turban colors are really good.

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you Kaz.

This is how it's looking at the moment. There's a few areas to play around with yet and I'm waiting for an illustration to get the top edge of the cummerbund correct and it should be about finished.

Roger.

 

[Andrew Craft]

Nice work Roger

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Andrew, are you doing any flat painting at the moment?

Roger.

 

[Andrew Craft]

No, but I'm thinking of trying to sculpt one, heavy emphasis on try.

 

[Dan Morton]

Well done Roger! Sumptuous colors!

All the best,
Dan

No, but I'm thinking of trying to sculpt one, heavy emphasis on try.

That's way too adventurous for me, better to leave it to those that can and just try and paint 'em is my motto.

Well done Roger! Sumptuous colors!

Thank you Dan.

Not a flats painter Roger but think this is super. The blue of his tunic is wonderful and you have done a fabulous job of his pagri. Waiting to see the finished piece.
Like you, I find the Indian Army an interesting study. Worked with an other engineer who's grandfather had been in the Bengal Lancers. That stood us in good favour when we worked in Pakistan and India.

Thank you Don. There's no shortage of colourful and interesting Indian Army subjects. I just need Ken to do some more of them in flat form.

Roger.

Cheers Kev, I should be able to post a photo of the finished & mounted piece later next week when I get home.
I didn't use any metallic paint at all.

Turned out really well Roger.

[billyturnip]

Cheers Carl, I have a nice piece of wood from Ulrich waiting at home to mount it on then it'll be finished.
I did look at buying a Gardner's Horse cap badge to mount alongside it but didn't have a spare 50 quid.

Roger.
