WIP General of Division Edouard de Colbert-Chabanais bust 200mm

[Colin_Fraser]

Working away on his chapska despite lots of real life interruptions. I lost the ring to the embossed lion’s head and the two vertical cords in front of his cockade so had to resort to duro and wire.

Don't worry they'll turn up once you are finished! The cheapskate looks great and you'd never know you had replaced bits.

I assume you mean chapska (spell checked and replaced).

Hi Colin

Love that “cheapskate” nice putty work you’ve done ......never know
Glad your doing the scarlet top on it of course some very neat lining on the sides

This is IMO the epitome of Napoleonic ...sheer gorgeousness

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy benchtime

Despite your little set back the chapska looks great, the cords especially so.

Progress on the czapska.

The 'HAT' looks great, I like the painted on shine on the peak. Ha no spell check issues.
