Thanks guys, it now in the new releases and as you can see I changed the shape of percussion pouch and lowered it and raised the epaulettes as the stiffener had gone in the museum piece. This matches the pack as its most likely early Crimea so they wouldn't really have dropped then which they would in prolonged wet weather.
I did speak to a couple of people and the pouch was either on the belt or low on the cross strap. As there is no belt on the bust I put it a low as I could on the strap, I wanted to include it and it's where he could grab into easily. The instruction now also state buff or leather but I also included the piece Bill did for me as reference as the bust is based on his work.
The pack is also now a seperate cast so you could put a blanket version for later in the Crimea without damaging the bust, it was a worrying day dremeling that off lol
Sorry also you got wind of this via Chuck or Steve at SK. They are good to me carrying stock and when they place an order it's easier for all of us if I can include anything I have nearly ready. I cast theirs up first and then was building stock before release but as, and with thanks, I have had a few messages, I have released now. It's mentioned on the website if you can give me 5 working days at worse to post depending on how popular it is, I have half a dozen here ready but you never know.
My apologies to you gents as I know many of you are and have been loyal to me
Thanks and best wishes
