Onto the remaining pieces ...
Head
As with any bust the main focus is the face and here we have a good female one , slightly grinning , good cheekbones and definition on the features , eyes are cleanly shaped above which the forehead is exposed.
The nose and ears are the same good sculpting , the nose is slightly upturned with good nostrils in evidence , the ears are both fully shown with the hair being pulled back above them and styled into a "bun" at the rear , this shows the twisting of the hair to form the bun ...something only the ladies will know how !!!, the hair strands are again as in the previous female well shown in sculpting .

Right Arm and Shako
This is the 2nd largest piece and the first thing to say is I am pleased it has been sculpted together ..it achieves a very natural position with the shako
As you can see we have the full arm with the hand and the shako being held .
Looking at the arm itself , a good natural position but very military in bearing.
The folds and creases are spot on ...again at the elbow in particular , at the top of the arm we have the full epaulette this is very well sculpted with nice details on the half moon .
On the arm we see the distinctive lacework again this is a really good bit of both sculpting and casting , correctly shaped and sitting right on the clothing folds , at the cuff there is the "slash" shaped with 3 points and 3 nicely formed buttons.
Fit of the arm to the shoulder will need a little bit of filler where it and the epaulette meets the torso ...but its minimal .
The shako is a gem totally accurate in profile and details with the peak being well shaped and the badge on the front sharply sculpted , its good to see that the underside has not been forgotten and is finished off slightly into the shako itself.
The shako is held close to the arm itself by the gloved hand which we see gripping the peak well .

Shako Feathered Plume
A lo of work has gone into this to depict the hanging feathers with these being in various positions and angles , personally I feel it should be a little more longer in depth but you could always get the putty out to do so ....saying that it looks okay when in position , this will need pinning .

Contra Epaulette
This matches the one cast on the right except no fringe !! , well shaped and detailed , easy to fit and no filler need , in place it balances the piece up.

Display Post
A simple post type which fits easily into the underside of the torso should you choose to use it , if not you can use the cutout in the torso to fit the bras rod or the like.
Final Thoughts
Its good to see a companion to the other female figure , again its well sculpted and thought out with good details throughout , this continues to be a very interesting series and I hope we will see more as there are so many subjects to choose from.
Presentation is as always with DG artwork very good indeed and the result is a high quality product.
A big round of applause to DH and DG Artwork
