Looking at the details on the front plate ...there's the motto....so that will need to be painted on ...going for gold details on plate

It's worth taking the time on these things

Happy benchtime

Very impressive work so far Nap.....detail on the head unit (whatever you call it) looks excellent as well as the flesh tones,(nice, subtle not overdone). Left the eyeballs till later.That's the way I like to do it; when the pressure is on. Keep up the good work; it looks very good.

Nice work on the hat

Nice work on the hat

Thanks Martin

Still the fur to do .....how would you paint it ?

Nap

 

[VisjeMar]

it looks good already. I would make the lowest part pure black and licht it up with a bit of blue to the middel part. The highest highlights I would do the next highlight with the black + blue + brown, and add more brown to the top, maybe some English uniform
The problemen with white is that it turns to grey.
