Hi Ralph,

He looks good, he is on my to do list as the first bust attempt. One Question it may be the photo's but what colour have you done his plume,? It should be red. but can't make it out on pics. the rest is bril

Thanks Mick I appreciate your comments.
Bloody heck you are correct about the plume.
I think what threw me, is the instruction sheet said white,and because I did it last I wasn't looking at the box art.I will be changing it today.
Cheers.
Ralph.

Hi Ralph,

That is some nice looking brushwork, regardless of the plume colour

Hi Ralph,

Very nice work. I love the red, looks very good. I was just about to point out the plume colour and saw Mick beat me to it. White is for the Grenadiers (on the left hand side of the bearskin) so watch out for angry Coldstreamers pursuing you!
