Part 2 shows the face and Tschapka complete, unless anyone has any suggestions or spots something amiss.

I've almost finished the collar and next I will move onto the jacket before working outwards to the belts, equipment etc.

Roger.

Looking good Roger!

Jay H.

Cheers Jay, I'm working on the blue tunic as we speak.

Roger.

Cheers Carl.

I've been looking at the metals and wondering what they need, that might be just the answer that has eluded me.
Roger.

I like the face, Roger!

One of the best faces I have seen from you.

Cheers

Really nice work. I think you have to change the middle of the eagle into silver, and some more silvering.....It's not all gold that shine.
But i can be wrong. See picture

And indeed some shading with a wash off raw umber will give some more depth.

Marc

Thank you Janne,

Thank you Marc. It is all gold that shines on mine.

I know the photo you've posted and it is the tschapka of a landwehr uhlan regiment, different to the "regular" 2nd Uhlan regiment I am painting. No problem though, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Consider the raw umber wash done.

Roger.

That's enough for today.

Roger.

wow, double threat guy, flats and busts. Excellent work so far.

Cheers Mike

Roger.

Looking good so far Roger, nice work.

Thank you Christos. The next step is the piping and lanyard. The base coat of basic red has been painted in .

Roger.

Following work on the reds and buttons this is how it is looking now.

Roger.

It's so German!
Nice Work!

cheers

massimiliano

Thank you Massimiliano, interestingly the KuK 2. Uhlanen-Regiment Carl Philipp Fürst zu Schwarzenberg was 84% Polish.

Carl, cheers. No nowt on telly again.

Roger.

Good start, keep us

Thanks Rob. I think I am fast approaching the most challenging aspects of this bust, the belts and canteen.

Roger.

Great work Roger! The eyes are gourgeous.
Following with interest.
