Completed 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, 1900.

[Viking Bob]

At long last I have finished this superb bust, the oil's on the flesh took an age to dry but it's now done.
What have a I added, a wedding ring to the man's right hand, a bigger Tash, reworked the bandolier strap and canteen strap and made a leather cover for the ladder sight on the rifle.
Great fun

Thanks Nap for the great comments and you will be able to see it this year.
The sight cover is to stop the rifle snagging on the rifle boot and keeping the ladder sight from damage.
the photo shows it on the Martini and the Snider rifle.

Excellent as always Bob. Your are becoming an inspiration for me. Your Bonaparte Guide made finally made me start my kit and now your newest has made me pull out the Inniskilling. I may try the sight cover on the rifle too.
