Hi folks
Update with pics ......working on the collar embroidery ...finished both sides just the 2 edging lines to do
All done with no metallics
Need to relook at the actual collar red a little
This isn't going as fast as as I wanted but still enjoying the painting

Do you paint the whole bust and only then come back to the details (lights, shadows...)?
I basecoat all areas , then work my way around ....supposedly to a plan but as with most I manage to forget any plan
....no reason why I haven't painted the face first as with most painters
Once it's all " finished " with the look again at the highs and shadows

Hi folks
Piccy update ....finished the front of aguilette .....since pic I have finished all of it .....just the crossed batons on shoulder epaulette
As a bit of a break I also basecoated the next which is a bust sculpted by Nick Majerus when he had Regimental S-4 of a US Marine Drum Major ....more on this after Blücher!
As always thoughts and comments welcome

Hi everyone
Been working on Blücher inbetween the lovely weather !
I lengthened the aguilette ....looked a little odd stopping abruptly so got the putty out
Also wasn't fully happy with the crown above portrait...so drilled it out
Repainted the uniform colour , happy now but will look again once flesh and hair done
Also revisited the sash and collar
Then it's just the nameplate and signing the base at back
As always all comments , suggestions welcome
Thanks for looking in
