There are a lot of gold details, so they are still a work in progress. But here's a look at my basic approach...
You can do all of it at the same time, but there is so much on the coat I find it easier to work on smaller sections. Starting with a dark base, I applied a layer of 50/50 Necro Gold (Scale75) and Imperial Purple to all of the gold sections. Now I focused on just the color and strip along his back. Using pure Elven Gold I painted parallel stripes along these sections (2nd image). I wanted another gold line along the top and bottom, so I first too Pure Black and painted a thin border along these sections. Following that I went back over the border with Elven Gold leaving a small gap between the border and the stripes (3rd image). Finally I began to gradually mix Citrine Alchemy into the Elven Gold and carefully painted the highlights along the ends and some of the stripes. Again, using pure black, I cleaned up the lines as needed.
Once I'd taken care of the details around the waist I was able to attach the other arm. Most of it will be covered up by the pelisse, so I'm not worrying about doing much highlighting and shading or the small gap at the shoulder. The hand and the end of the sleeve will show, so those I did spend time working on. For the hand I used the same approach as the face. After the basic skin tones I used some glazes of red and purple. Red was applied on the knuckles and the purple was used to darken a few of the shadows. The rest of the gold details are still a work in progress. I tried to continue with the detail work along the edge of the coat and on the sleeves. It's not quite as cleany done as the ones on the shako, so I will go back in and do some more work on them.

Outstanding SBS, just what I need as an acrylics novice. Having been modelling for nearly 40 years but had a 15 year break from the hobby due to pressures of work, etc. Just got back into it with retirement and decided to move away from oils and enamels and into acrylics. Learning fast, but it's never quite fast enough, if you know what I mean. Anyway, patience pays! Thanks again for sharing your invaluable ideas and techniques.

Thank you for all the comments!
Nap, I'm taking a short break from this figure. I got a bit burned out with all that lace. I found I was getting sloppier as I went along, so I'm working on a few other projects and will hopefully get back to this one in a couple weeks.
