    Finished the kettle drummer today.
    I've place the figure and horse on the AWI diorama just for picture purposes.

    The officers wore a liberal amount of lace on their uniforms, so, a painstaking process to add it all.
    I also cutted his right arm and repositioned with somglue and putty, that way the arm holding the sword will lookas the officer is in the typical pose of a snobby officer.
    I am planning to have 4 troopers, one officer, one standard bearer and already have the Timbalier.

    Hi Daniel

    Nice to see the horses being done , troopers look good , putty work is really well done and it shows on the officers lacework...very effective

    Is that the horse the officer will have ?

    Thanks for sharing

    This whole project got by me - sorry I was not in on the early stages.
    Another outstanding conversion job on these Guards.
    Years ago, Greg DiFranco was quoted saying "Historex is essentially a medium". Daniel, you are demonstrating that, in your hands, Sean Judd's Trident sculpts are just a starting point for the projects that lie in your fertile imagination. I admire your fearlessness in using whatever is at hand to create your own figures. It is a pleasure to watch these projects come together.
    All the best to you and your family. Stay safe, and sane, during this most unusual year!
