Beautiful work! I like how you handled the sash, subtle not overdone.

Thanks Joe. I lucked I think. The sash went differently than planned but ended up in a good place.

Another beaut, Senior - like everyone else, I’m in awe of the watered silk effect of the sash.

A first class job, as always, Colin.
Quick question whose head did you replace the Junot sculpture with? Love the Alexandros bust of Junot but I don't like the representation of his head.

Thanks Melanie. I think the Junot is a digi sculpt and it might not be Ebroin’s work. I had some reservation about the bust too and I ended up making some changes. I changed the collar embroidery to classic general officer’s and I added a decoration (Portuguese Order of Christ). I did use the kit’s Junot head but scratch built his shako to make it a bit more unique. It’s been fairly well received so I guess it was a good plan.

Nice job on "converting" Junot. Indeed the sculpture is not by Ebroin, which may be why the face looks too 'heavy'. The addition of his shako really makes all the difference and gives a better balance to my mind.

Lovely work on Mr Tracy, sorry St Cyr. I think te face looks great and I really like the way you handled the lace and the epaulettes. Nice filigree work as well. Bloomin' good all round in fact!

That's an impressive display there, very well done indeed.
