Guys, As always thanks for the kind words. I'm really enjoying this project and love the uniform this unit wore.~Gary
 
Really great Gary. I disappeared for a few days here and come back to all these wonderful SBS projects... a nice surprise. ;)

Excellent work Gary. These scrathbuilds you're doing lately are excellent learning tools. Sometime in the future I'd like to see how you handle a more dynamic pose.

John, thanks. I purposely made the pose as simple as possible as I need to get this done asap. I have plans to do more animated figures in the near future.~gary
 
Here are a few pictures showing the lace on the front of the coat, one or two need to be redone/ repositioned.

Hey Gary, he's looking great, I love all the folds.
Since you first posted the reference picture I've been really looking forward to seeing the jacket lace and those little tassels take shape...can't wait.. :)

Roy.
 
Thanks a lot guys.

I started to add some of the belts to the figure. I will finish off the lace once all of the belts are complete.

All of the belts have been added to the figure. I have to sand them down a little as they are sitting too high up on the figure in some areas and make the right shoulder look too low. I also sculpted most of the hair.
