Looking good Bob. Hadn't seen this piece before and although it's not my time period there's some really tempting painting challenges that might just tempt me.
I agree with Mick striped breeches would be great
Cheers

[Viking Bob]

At long last some progress, after he had a bath (dettol) this is as far as I am now.
I didn't go with the stripped trousers, the bloody socks were a nightmare, still I can blame that on his gin soaked girlfriend who knitted them for him.


Thats all for now, need a beer later to steady my hand.
Thanks for looking in.
Regards

 

[mick3272]

Very Nice Bob.
Are you sure it was the Gin soaked Girlfriend who knitted them.
OR
The Rum so soaked painter who painted them
Mick

 

[Viking Bob]

I am sure as sure as can be, that it was the GF
