WIP Wilhelm II in uniform of Russian 85th Vyborg Regt 1908

[Nap]

Hi everyone

Painting continues on the headwear , found these pics of a original period Officers cap ,not the 85th but interesting details on the cockade and the piping on the headband

I’ve finished the cockade and painted the edging a dark blue , will do the top piece , then the peak ...might add a shine effect or just use a satin/ gloss varnish , once done will post a quick pic before moving to the aguilette

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime

Knowing you. some of the detailed putty work will be on medals. here are some pics showing how the medals are wore. Note the cross belt is actually worn over the medals, which I find strange I would have thought the would be over. Oh Hum.M.

Hi Mick .....

Regrettably just no room to put medals on ........forgive me .......it will be the 60th Regt .......the belt badge is looking good ...just the crown to add and the lions face at top of the chains

Will post pics once it’s all completed prior to primer in a separate VBench
