Managed to get back to the bench recently,here I've started work on the shako cover and the first stages of the face.
I always work from top to bottom when painting busts,i find it much easier to work this way.
Somehow I managed to glue the musket to the shoulder,which was not intended but i'm going to have to live with it now,it shouldn't be a problem during the painting process anyway.

The shako was undercoated in acrylics and followed by oils to finish and weather,the face has had some main colours laid in with some 5 o'clock shadow,i still need to do some more with the face yet before I can say i'm happy with it.
just laid in some basic colours on the musket ,flag and jacket just to get a feel for the piece.
