Very nice Nap, looks even better in the flesh. Superb painting.
Great to catch up too.

Hi to everyone
Couple of update pics on the 2nd Cossack
Finished the Iron Cross and star , uniform colour finished...for now!!! , though might revisit it once all badges are done
Added a Cossack proficiency badge above the shiled, in a regulation gold although sometimes silver NCO tresse was also used as in German collar edging
Thanks for looking in

Hi Nap!
This is Major General Ivan Nikitovich Kononov, Commander of the 5th Don Regiment, XV. Cossack Cavalry Corps...:
This painting is the template for your bust...:
But he wore a special Cockade...:
This one (of the Don Cossacks) ...
...but with a white St. Andrews Cross of fabric over it...:
Kononov was executed (hanged) for treason 1946 in Moscow.
Cheers

All right - the ribbon bar...:
Very hard to recognize - but I think I've found them all ...:
These are all German awards for valor and bravery, which were awarded to so-called "Ost-Freiwillige" (Eastern Volunteers).

Hi Geoff
They are interesting subjects , just admit prefer something a bit more colourful ....like you with Red tunics !!
All details now done , ribbons, badges , epaulettes ...so ....
Just the flesh to do !!
Thought the legend bust would be better to work on but should look okay when finished !!
Thanks for looking in
