Verlinden Croatian Hussar 200mm Bust (WIP)

Ok, this is NOWHERE near finished... but I am 99% finished with the hood and the face (just need to do the mustache on the face)
The hat is still being base coated, so simple im putting off finishing it, and its taking alot of detail work to get the little blue stripes on the shoulders correct.
Tell me what you think, and as always, photos show so much that you wont see with the nekked eye

Got the base coats for the details on the sleeves finished as well as the shield started and the hat in the final stages.

so untill I find primer this is scrapped, son of a...
