WIP Stormtroopers Sgt 28th Foot, Quatre Bras 1815

[Viking Bob]

An excellent bust from Stormtroopers, so a quick pic of where I am at this moment it time.
More pics to follow very soon.
The face is painted in oils and the only thing not done yet is the 5 0' clock shadow.
Update soon.

Merry Christmas everyone

Thinned out the metal straps on the canteen, added the square hole for the spout and a new cork with string (lead wire)
Made an extra strap for the knapsack for holding the mess tin and added extra detail to the spontoon, as fat fingers broke the cross piece also added some detail for the spear point.

hi Bob, nice start on it. But the bust isn't from CGS but produced by Stormtroopers, I think.

Thank you every one for the positive comments
Ben you are so right. this bust is by Stormtroopers , Its just that I had the postman drop off another bust which is by CGS. I am getting old and confused.
Merry Christmas to you all and stay safe.

Hi Bob ,
You not the only one to make this mistake , I' v done the same thing . I had to check after my comments ,hoped no one would notice.
Easy to do , waiting for up dates , so no rushing but don 't take to long.
