hello Guys,

I wanted to start this awesome bust. It is an Roll Call bust.
In my information (osprey) i see the bonnet always with a large "feather"
Anyone familliar with this short feather or is it wrong???
The small "wrinkle" on the sherp, is this a fault of the casting process or is it indeed a good wrinkle..
What are the colors off the shoulder plate's.

I hope someone can help me

Marc.

Here is the picture:

The roll over his shoulder which i think you refer to is a greatcoat, rolled lengthways then end over end and tucked inside itself, this is the cause for the wrinkle, the feather would have been a long plume however in action the expensive plume would not last long and has been substituted with a short hackle.

this one is a surviving example but has the long plume

That has to be sculpting foor that plume.
