I was afraid that you were going to say that.

I'm a bit finger heavy but it's advisable anyway to pin !

Think I used a 1mm drill

Good start Kev. I think I would leave the sash off though. Just a personal thing.

Hi Nick

I would certainly recommend this , classic subject and not too complicated

Verbal Update ......finished all lace on jacket and vest , 90 % done on the shoulder cords ( that's what I liked specifically on the bust )

The vest is only a basecolour at the moment and will be closer in co,our to the dark blue jacket

Not going to add a sash !

Looking at the Regt ......Captain Adolphe Libaire, Company E, won the Medal of Honor for his actions during the charge at Antietam.

Couple of other interesting pictures as well

Iffyvision before jkt lacing complete

Happy benchtime
