Hi Bob,
Very nice job all round great face.
Not sure if its colour not showing through but the cap
cover looks the same colour as the tunic instead
of a black oil skin / cloth.
But hope mine turns out as good.

The Only blues I know are sung but I thought it was the Southern States of America, nowhere near Liverpool.

 

[peedee]

Nowhere near Everton mate don't know them others.

Seasick Steve's been here twice, at the waterfront stadium.....appropriate eh!

Seriously Bob that is a lovely piece, the only reason I didn't get one off Gra is I have the bigger Moz Corry one smoking the pipe.
I do fancy making the Varna one into a different Regiment though.
Maybe the Irish lancers rather than just the usual 16th.

He was putting a converted sergeant together from the standing Trumpeer, have you heard anything?
I was going to ask him at Darlington, but he was in
demand to chat to all hands.
