Thanks Kev
I take your point re skin colour, it could be a little darker but I quit while I was ahead.
Yes doing them all, The 6th Inniskilling was posted ages ago. the three V busts were posted when I was is Spain.
I was working on the Farrier ( Lancer) but got distracted on the Dragoon Drummer when that arrived.
So trying to get them done before Sword & Lance
