Progress shots of Wellington, the last one of the Waterloo set. Doing this in a different order to my last two , doing the regalia before the tunic, see if it looks tidier, do others do it this way or do you get tunic done first ?.

Hey Chris,

This is a VERY good start!.

When you do the tunic, keep some of the shading colour back, and use it as a wash on those gorgeous gold braids, you should see it make the cast detail pop out at ya.

I have been looking forward to seeing this!

I agree with both Nap and Paul - this is a great start! Additionally, I also find it easier to start with the tunic.
Looking forward to seeing this finished and all them together.

Good start Chris.
.
Although I have to admit that I did paint the tunic first when I painted this bust, but it's good to see that you're experimenting to see what works best for you.
Looking forward to your next post.
Keep up the good work.

I find it much easier to cut in so I would base coat the tunic do the medals then cut in again with the tunic base colour.

Some really tidy painting there.

Thanks all, I'll see how I do by doing it this way, may end up doing next one the 'normal' way, but, Gells your way sounds good, I'll give it a try.
cheers Chris

Hi Chris, this is looking great, better than my first start!
Keep up the great work

Slainte,
