Vry nicely done. This would look great as a half/full figure.

Many thanks Mike, He certainly would look good as you say.

I'm just going to post pics of him finished, really pleased with him.

Cheers

He is just been finished, a bit of dry-brushing to define certain areas and the bonnet tails added.

I really have enjoyed painting on this lovely sculpted bust by David Grieve.

Thanks for all the likes and comments it's much appreciated.
Geoff

PS the next one is a bit smaller, a 1/12th bust of an Elizabethan Nobleman from Mr Lee's Minis I purchased at Yeovil Show.

I've been following along with interest. Very fine result. Looking forward to the nobleman!

I am just about to give the nobleman a coat of primer then I can start him after a bit of lunch.

Thanks mate, I thought I was slow on this one, especially having a three night break away in the middle of it.

Enjoy your "fiddling".

Many thanks Guys, looking forward to Bugle Call.

Here is the final pic with a black line down the centre of the green line on the tartan thanks to Scottie for the missing detail and a darker orange on the King's SA medal ribbon which I didn't check was correct.
