Hi everyone

Will probably do the actual medals after I’ve done the bling on the shoulders etc
Going to lighten the cross belt first though ! .....then will start on collar lace ...get all gold done then do crosses and star
As always comments and thoughts welcome
Thanks for looking in
Have fun ...no matter what you paint

My word! they look fantastic, I'm sure you're happy with them and probably needed a bit of a lie down afterwards. Keep up the great work, Nap.

Excellent and precise work so far!
NB The sword belt is gold painted leather, as it was the distinction "За храбрость", "For Bravery".
Cheers,
Pierre

Thank you so much a Melanie...had to lie down for a while !
Good to have you look in and thank you
Thanks Pierre ....ref belt .....in the portrait the belt looks like a dark brown leather with a brass buckle ....is that artists license .....?
In your great version it’s got the “gold” look .........I live and learn ref belt !
Should the belt be all leather but gold covered ?
Nap
All the visible parts of the belt should be gold covered leather, as for the buckle I don't think you risk the wrath of the Russian empire by painting it yellow metal/gold.
I chose white metal, but I'll delve in my reference to check.

Pierre

Dress regulations dictate silver buckle, just checked.
Sorry for the confusion and my attempt to have you overthrow the czarist empire!

Looks really good on the ribbons as Pierre says 'precise' and even texture shaded in excellent. All hail Pierre 'the font of all knowledge', we are lucky to have him here.

The detail depth is starting to show micely, Kevin. Keep at it, young man!
When I first looked at the picture, I thought it was the real thing, until I noticed the medals that needed painting.
Just shows what a stunning job you're making of this. Young Man.
