Wow, he is coming to life, fantastic painting.
What colour have you used for the tunic?
All the best

Thanks Bob, glad you like the progress. I have used Andrea colour red and dark green mixed into the red for shadows. Andrea white and yellow for the highlights mixed into the red.

Hey Chris,thanks mate. Yes those Italian water canteens the British Army used in the Napoleonic Wars and right through until 1875 were a lot thicker than normally portrayed.Nice to see you noticed my scratch built one.
