    Good spot Ron. FYI MM also a Guard Dragoon Officer on foot under their value range and he also has the missing aiquelette.

    Cheers

    Thanks to all for the comments. Helps to keep the mojo bubbling.

  4. Hello Tim, this looks stunning and really pleased you posted, it is also only the second we have seen painted. Inside the kit there should have been a small length of wire to add the missing aigulette loop, this was better than casting it on so it can hang away from the body. If you don't have any please message and we will send some.
    Thank you and top work

    As for the bust - it's getting better and better!

    Cheers

    Many thanks for the comments and support.

    More small progress. Mocked up the sword arrangement, small adjustments required but not bad.

    Next up aigulette (?) Only undercoated at present.

    Not to bad -

    Good evening,

    Quick update. Left hand fixed, right hand "tacked" in place so that I can work out any adjustments required. Scabbard etc got some colour, sword slings in progress. That means construction close to the finish, then just need to pull it all together with the hairy brush.

    More soon,

    Need to sort that aigulette. Keep on squashing it !

    [IMG]

    Had to do some work with the right hand which resulted in a strip & repaint. Small detail work continues, medal done. Looking to get the right hand finally fixed this week, so that I can get the slings in place and that will conclude construction. Then general tidy up and bring it all together. In other words inching ever sideways to the end piece.

    More soon.

    Good evening,

    Think I have reached the end with this. Need to sort a base etc, but the construction and painting stages are essentially over.

    This will now be set to one side to settle, and revisited in a few weeks with a refreshed eye to sort out any problems.

    Very nice work. Very crisp and clean brush work. Details all very well done.

    Look forward too seeing him based and finalized.
