Completed 60th Regt

[Nap]

Hi Folks

Thought I’d share this putty pushing.......using a Micks Micks bust .....originally a RIR Adjt ....which I hasten to add is a fine piece of sculpting this would be a uniform of Rifle Green with black facings ....

I liked the look of the 60th Regt with their red facings so after much research and contact with Mick Ankim......I needed to make a few adjustments!...

Remove and replace the cross belt decoration and the headwear badge

I also removed and resculpted the pouch belt

Reworked the sword knot

Changed the hair style

**The detail on the top of the headwear ...difficult to access might try a buildup of paint ......any ideas welcome

Added a chin strap as in references

Here’s some references

​

Here’s a great reference to get hold of

I wanted to do this version ....but no room on original sculpt for the medals !


...maybe another day !

Here’s the original

After my putty work....the badges were built up bit by bit !

This will be my next piece on the bench so will move to V bench then

Thanks for looking in

Sold down the river for a splash of red.
Nice work on the conversion. Just one question. In the Uniform Information you have listed above it states Sword knot Black leather . you have made it into a cord?
Look forward to seeing this in all its new glory.

I guess you've been busy with the doedelzak player, any update on this Kev? Seeing all your sculpting here reminds me I need to get on with my Verlinden Para conversion.

I missed this one (because you hid it over here......). Lovely work on the putty, looking forward to seeing this with paint on.

Loving these references, it's a shame you didn't keep that moustache though, that was a peach! Surely you could squeeze in one tiny medal?

Medal looks good Kev. If you were to twist the top toggle button a little similar to the one below ,you may be able to fit another??

 

[Briggsy]

Yeah the tash is perfect, delicate but it really looks the part, it's good you squeezed a medal in there. Looking forward to colouring in.

Cheers Simon

Anyway ....

Not 100% sure of a possible second choice

The preparation of the piece is excellent, it bodes well for good work in the near future....
