Hi Geoff - spot on with the buckle and the fittings on the cartouche - all silver for officers. Nice job, by the way!

Many thanks, really pleased about that, didn't really want to redo it.

Many thanks Richie, I have a few of the pics but 3 of them with be extremely useful, I'm pleased I was correct with the Cartouche colours, and I can now start painting the helmet band.

Thanks again
Geoff.

He has come out a treat Geoff.
What colours did you use for the tunic. It looks a tad light for khaki??

Sorry mate that's a great ref but I was looking at the officer sat on ground cross legged at the front middle...he has a "undress" cap on .....I presume the top is the uniform colour ( beige/Kharki) with perhaps a design on top ,the lower part would I think be the regimental lace pattern ?

My plan is to remove the helmet and use on base and put the other cap on him
Nap

 

[Sylvanus]

Very nice job! Well done.

 

[valiant]

Nap - the forage cap looks like an unofficial version - I cant find any reference to one being issued, but maybe either a private purchase or locally sourced

 

[Oda]

Excellent choice of subject and a charming modelling work.
