Hi Hendryk ,
I have this on my bench as well ...only primed !!!!
This has great facial features and expressions which allows the painter to really enjoy himself ..like your fleshwork .
.......... if I might be so bold I would tone down the hair a bit looks very yellow in the pics IMO ...........
.......... also I presume you still have to do the cap pompom (shows as white in pic) , I also would fix it closer to the top of the cap..again IMO !!!
Like the uniform colour you have done nice shading and highs
Straps/Belts look good as well
Thanks for sharing

Overall well done so far. I too think the hair is too yellow. Otherwise the colors are spot on.

Like the eyes very well, but not the hair colour.
And you forget the underground of the bust?

Hi Hendryk,
You asked about the pommel on top the cap , I have a had a look and White is a possible colour(There is also a plate in Military Uniforms of the 19th Century page 102 which shows white)
Blue is also a possible denoting infantry .
(Artillery could be Red, Cavalry Yellow ) see plate from Uniforms of the United Staes Army by H A Ogden (Plate 21 ..this shows the period 1851-4 but I cannot see any reason why Militia would not have followed this pattern as well .
As with all uniforms there were many differences particularly in the Militia ..often within the same unit .
Hope this is of some help to you
