Very impressive, Kev. Really looking forward to seeing how you'll handle the miniature portrait.. A miniature of a miniature, yikes!

How did I mis s not seeing you at the BMSS, were you hiding?
Malc
There was illness so Hawk never made it ....probably why you never saw them
That will probably be the first thing I will go for !
I agree it's probably the best of the Waterloo set IMO

Malc
Due to an affinity with the great white telephone I was unable to make the show which is a shame as I was looking forward to it and it look like a good day was had by all.
Malc all three bust are still available fromus just send me a PM if you, or anyone is interested.
Nap,
Wellington is on its way
Go for it young Malc
Think I might add the small medal at bottom of neck decorations seen in some pictures ..depends on the space
Nap

Hi everyone
Quick Iffyvision piccy's
Eyes done just need to edge in with flesh base
Started on the " massive " portrait.......coming along nicely ...definately a optivisor in use ! .....will need to lighten the backing colour around the PR , this should define the hair shaping , then it's the sash on it after doing a little more on the red uniform , then the aguilette and shoulder cord,buttons , then the actual frame surround
All thoughts welcome and indeed suggestions are
Thanks for looking in

Like what you've done with those eyes of his, they have a lot of depth.
Now tell me, at the beginning of your post there is a picture of a bottle with Blucher's portrait on it that contains an amber liquid. What is it, whiskey or pancake syrup?

Coming long very nicely.. excellent work..
Hi Warren, Aris and Mario
Thanks for the comments ......paint the surround yesterday ......wasn't happy at all so I removed the tiny circles of putty and reworked the surface again
....looks better now ( I hasten to add nothing wrong with DG's surround ! ) ....now painted up again
Thinking of adding tiny flecks of sparkle using something suitable like glitter .....Malc C did similar with his Nelson diamond plume in the Military Modelling magazine article
Might also use Kristal Klear over the portrait....I'm thinking it must have been behind a extremely thin glass ........anyone got any thoughts ?
Will post pic later
