Here is another update.
The pants and boots are now almost finished some minor detail work has to be done. Now I'm working on the base, sword and straps. The arms have to be finished also and glued to the figure. I took some quick pictures and they are not so sharp.
Hope you like it sofar, comments and critiques are welcome!!
Thanks for the great comments Robert, Sam and Ernest.
For the white mixture I started using the color Jim used in his sbs here on the planet. http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16459
But while painting it was not the color I was aiming for, I wanted it a bit warmer. So I added small amounts of english uniform also.
