My word you are doing this one quickly, trying to take my crown mate.

Not quickly mate ...the insignia etc has taken over 20 hrs ...and a lot of muttering

Thou art my king so wear that crown with pride !

Iffy pics in the order I was working and taking them

It took 3 attempts to get the pattern on the band on the cap

All pieces are now primed in black drying overnight
