Hi Mike

Very nice indeed like the way the plume has been done and the fleshtones

.....and a Trumpeter version eh ....do share how you made the instrument when you can

Following with interest on both !!

Happy benchtime

Nap ..in a very murky and windy Devon

Superb start Mike. Like the addition of the chinscale tie on the officer and looking forward to seeing the trumpeter develop with the mixed lace colours.

That's nice painting on the Officer and now the Trumpeter is looking good with the flesh tone. Superb
