WIP 5th Royal Irish Lancers, Sgt Farrier, 1883

[Geoff Charman]

Hi Nap, Thanks, I might do more w&h's but at the moment I am happy with it.

Yes the decals I used are from my aircraft modelling days, worked a treat, I would never have painted them like that with my shaky hand. I have a sheet of red lines in various widths.



Helmet cords today after walk into town and a pint.

Look forward to seeing the cords

Enjoy the walk ...and the "pint" ....you deserve it

Nap

Hi Geoff.
Looking good mate.
I like the idea of the decal, I use the 1mm masking tape.
So whats next the the 6th Dragoon or the Irish Guard.

Thanks Nap, cords now done and painted, pic following.

Didn't bother with walk, bitter wind but sunny, cold wind not good for my chest, but I have cider in stock.

Yes mate just seen the Kitchener bust, looks super, certainly one for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Malc, I think I will get the Piper, it will be the first for me to get one of Mick's with arms
Kitchener is also a must I think.

Thank you Mick, all my masking tape is half inch wide and would have to paint it.
Think it will be the 6th Dragoon, a nice plain uniform with slight shade changes for a change then it will be back to the Scarlet.

Now finished, cords painted and fixed into position.



The finished bust.



Another one that has had its challenges but I hope I've done him justice.

Many thanks to you both, certainly a colourful chap, and nice to do a czapka for a change.

Just starting the eyes on the Inniskilling Dragoon.

Hi guys

Thought I would just post this of the Regiment

[malc]

That would make a nice 120mm full figure subject ( with the mount), any sculptor up for it maybe.
