WIP Royal Munster Fusiliers 1890's

[Viking Bob]

Anything sculpted by Offo has to be great and Mick's Mick's have hit the nail on the head with this one, a real beauty.
I have added to the moustache and brought it away from the face. Just the face has been done so far, in oil's.

Thanks Guys, it's a warm start today so may have to continue tonight. Will have to think about how to paint a waxed tashe. Maybe watered down inks. Thanks for looking in, till the next update, take care.

You are off to a good start Bob. Extending the moustache is a nice touch. I am readying mine for priming, so I will be following your progress with great interest.

Thank you clrsgt, the face paints itself and felt the tache needed extending, I also added a ring to the scabard. Thanks for looking in.

Tthanks for stopping by Paul and yes the tashe looks a whole better. I have added a scabbard ring also but nowhere near ready for painting that part yet.
Taty bye for now

An update, I have now attached the sword to the figure and will have to tidy up on the arms where it was glued on. I am pleased that the ring fitted when all was located.
More work on the lace to do.

It's looking excellent Bob.
Nice work getting the ring sitting naturally.

Cheers,
Andrew
