Hi everybody

Couple of update pics, click on pics for larger image

......gorget and waistcoat complete, facings on lapels complete

Will recheck lacework etc once the actual red cost completed

Still to do Sash, lapel lace , collar , inside collar , buttons , aguilette , neckcloth, hair and fleshwork

As the uniform is now accurate and no relation to the film prop , will push the hair highs a bit more

As always comments very welcome

Happy benchtime

Further to Steves post , looking at Carl Franklins excellent book British Army Unifirms 1751-1783

Page 356 "Infantry officers were required to wear a gorget of gold or silver according to regimental metal"

The 34th's was silver so that's what the gorget will be


"Ribbons were normally the same colour as the facings" ....orange and with rosettes being same

The Aguilette on the model needs detailing up more so that's my next job !

Happy days

I'll need to remember this when I get around to my copy of this bust, thanks for the info.
