This is a great start to a beautiful figure. Red lancier musicians are one of my favorites. Looking forward to the finished product.

Anders , Gary thanks. Yes in fact I will be there ( at MFCA that is :lol: ) and I'm looking forward to meet all the guys I met in Boston and make new friends like yourself. Now that I know that you're going to be there I'm looking forward even more.

As to how I did the detail there's no real secret to it. The fine lines are putty rolled really thin. Make sure it's fresh putty. It was laid down only with Isopropyl. When dry it was given a coat of very diluted white glue. The other details are named patience :lol: . Put in one by one and the detail brought out with a needle and brush. It's the shabraque fringes that I dreaded most though. They had to be cut to length and glued one by one
