Hi Daniel

I see I shall have to keep a watch on you young man...lol

Cracking subject my friend ...paintings coming along really well ......and it's going to be a standard bearer as well ....are you going for blue or red uniform , blue woukd be a nice contrast to the standard .

Agree with Vital the Southern American uniforms are packed full of great subjects

Following with interest

Nap

Thanks Kev, it will be a challenge piece of work hahah.
As for the blue, i decided to go red, there are so many sources they have got red that i decided to go for it.
I agree, blue would have been a good contrast.
Cheers
