The sculpting is excellent. Why only one chevron when the photo shows three? I can only hope that this could be commercially available. A pair of legs would be good (perhaps from the Guardsman I did for Gordon?), so would the options of a service cap or home service helmet.

Hi Mike

Sone good options you've suggested , this is a one off though unless Jimbo wants to sculpt another !!!

Regarding your question .......the 3 cheverons were only on the left arm , the Colour Sgts had a single and thinner cheveron below the actual crossed swords , there are references in the thread as well

Happy benchtime

Hi everyone

Spent last night painting the sash .......just kept looking at it ......again and again !

...it looks too flat more like a crossbelt ...so out came the putty and put some creases on .....now looks better and more volume ......waiting for putty to fully dry ...then ....away we go .....

All part of the hobby fun

Happy benchtime

Hi everyone

Verbal update

Good day at the bench yesterday ...repainted the uniform colour and the facings as well as the belt and sash ...now happier !

Also did all the white lacing on the cuffs and collar ...epaulettes are next , then the rear of the tunic , then the buckles, buttons .....

Then the face and hair .....then the hands ...and it will be done !

Pics to follow once I've done a bit more ! ...oh and when the Iffyvision film crew come back from coffee break !

Happy benchtime

Those Union Jacks look great as does the rest.

Looking forward to see what else may change as well ... , )

Great work my friend, i really like the work on the tunic and facings and white teim.
Question, wouldn't be the blue facings a tad darker?
 
Just needs some legs - you could use one of the pairs I did for my Guardsmen for Gordon Mitchell.
