Thanks Borek, glad you like how things are progressing. I think that it’s one of the great things about the forum that there’s always someone willing to help with info or advice.Beautiful progress, fantastic thread. I like lots of background information, great!!! Thanks to all the attendees. I look forward to the next painting steps.
Cheers Borek
Thanks Gordon.
.....MikeThanks Kev. I picked it up from the Bookworld stand. Email address is www.bookworldws.co.uk. I picked up one on the Saxon Army from the same period, same authors,as well. Plenty of info, colour plates and paintings by Patrice Courcelle.
Thanks Mike, really appreciated. I’m just in the process of adding some thin wire to the turnbacks as the kit only has piping to the turnbacks on the inner edge. My reference material suggests there was a 2cm wide L shaped strip in the facing colour on the turnbacks so hoping this will replicate it. I didn’t fancy removing the sculpted crown/horse head so the “lace”might look a little wider at this point but I’m happy to live with that as my sculpting/scratch building skills aren’t up to much. I’ve added a photo which may make more sense of it.That's cracking work Neal.....love it.....
Hi Nap, thanks for that. I started having another go at the highs again last night but still plenty to go. I’ll have another look at the White,as you say it could maybe do with being taken a touch further but I wanted to try and portray a different white to that on the cross belts and what I will use on the gauntlets. To be honest I don’t think the pictures or lighting were the best. The green is certainly,in my experience, a slow burner when it comes to matting down. I’ve used an old Phil Kessling mix for it from a Mil Mod article so may have to look at reviewing this.
