WIP Critique Heavy Metal

[Briggsy]

Time for an update on this, got the trumpeter underway. I cracked on rather than bore everyone with another cuirassier build.



I have decided he will be a 10th Regiment fella, following a Rousselot reference he will be clad in a yellow habit with white lace on the lapels.



The lace is make from paper and sealed with liquid sprue. I have also added bulk to his cheeks as I want him blowing the trumpet once he has arms!

Cheers Simon

Thanks Rob, the ones cast onto the saddles aren't the best so I like to replace them. Yes they are paper from a pack of post it's, initially held in place and shaped with water and PVA glue. Once dry I like to stiffen them up with liquid sprue, it's a pain cutting them out but looks better than the soft detail in the plastic.

Cheers Simon
