Heavy Cavalry - Waterloo 1815 (Duo)

[smudger1960]

As some of you will remember I inatialy did the CGS version of the scots grey trumpeter some time back,however having started on the Inniskilling there were some colour adjustments I nneded to make to the trumpeter to match it up as a pair with the Inniskilling,two of the areas I wasn't happy with were the finish on the jacket and the trumpet tassles,I started correcting these a few weeks back while continuing with the inniskilling,I've now reached a happy medium and discovered some new mixes along the way.

Both these busts are from the CGS range and both are sculpted by Carl Reid,as most of you will be aware Alex Long posted up the CGS box art for the trumpeter just recently and what a fantastic job he has done on it,very inspirational piece.

Here are the finished pieces with photo's taken individually and together as a duo,i'm very happy now both jackets seem to match

Hope you enjoy the pictures.



Thanks
Brian
