WIP SGt. William Gardner VC

[PLG]

Hi

after a few distractions from modelling I am starting my latest project - a return to VC holders, this time Sgt W Gardner who was awarded the VC for saving the life of his commanding officer during the Indian Mutiny. my depiction of him will be in his Crimean War uniform based on this photo, whihc was taken after the War:

i am staring by painting the head, using oils over a base coat of Vallejo acrylics;

next the torso ...

Hi Peter,
He's coming along nicely isn't he? I know this is still in process so sorry if I'm jumping in but the 42nd have a very dark blue square on their bonnet, only the 93rd wore the red and white "Sutherland" dicing.
Is this your own sculpt or commercial?
All the best with it.
Scotty.
