Hi Malc

Glad your feeling better mate long may it continue

I like the way the cuffs have come out , surprising filler was needed but you’ve handled the tiny gaps well

Looking forward to seeing more updates

Have fun @ the bench

Nice work on the cuffs, he's looking really good I think the coat change of colour will work well.

A Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours

Cheers Simon, I was pleased to get the cuffs finished, they were a bit awkward to paint.

Hope you had a good Christmas.

Your new shade of gray works well Malc, but I have to admit that the blue tone of the first version seemed like the right choice to me. I trust you, you are the one who has the piece in hand and you are the artist who presents your vision of the character. Either way, I am sure that in the end I will absolutely not be disappointed by your work!!

Thanks Bran.
The Violet Grey was a nice tone, but I think it will have ended up too bright for my liking.
Now I've begun work on the Brown Grey, its more suited to the end result I'm after.

You're building depth into this real well, Brother, Ruck On!

Cheers Steve, now I've got the cuffs out of the way, and back on the coat, I feel I'm progressing
and getting there...... slowly but surely.

Thanks Nap, Feeling much better now.
On inspection this morning I found that I need to add some more filler to tidy it up.
Something I could've done without, but It would've been noticeable it I hadn't.

With the Christmas festivities over, I was able to return to the bench this morning.
I love listening to Sabaton while I paint, but this morning was going to be a little different.
Our cat, bought me a Sabaton DVD for Christmas. ( A very thoughtful pet.
And and as I have a TV above my bench, I could enjoy watching them while I worked.

Once I tidied up the areas that had required filler, I turned my attention to adding the shadows to the coat.
There's still a lot more to be done yet, and I want to complete the basic shadows, before working on the lacing.
