Looks great Roger. Glad to see you’re developing some taste and moving away from flats and Greeks and towards Cuirassiers!

Cheers

Looking good Roger.

Cheers Ralph.
I've done a bit more this afternoon, photo's in a bit. The plan was to dirty him up quite a bit but I quite like the way he's looking at the moment. Maybe just a bit of muck, I'll see how it goes.

Weapons added last night and figure given a coat of Dull Cote.



After these photo's were taken I managed to dislodge the nasal bar on the helmet, I have a vague idea of it's course and speed but it must have entered the modeling Bermuda Triangle, I've no idea where it went so one of todays jobs is to make a new one.
