Hi Guys ,

This is the bust originally sculpted by Jimbo from this forum, he did it as a a Sgt , I have promoted him to S/Sgt and added some medals together with the peak .

Currently the cap has no lacework on top I can only find the "button" has anyone got any details on wether this did infact have any.

This has been in my primed area for a while , currently working on his flesh ..acrylics , Army Painter's Warpaints and also Jo Sonja's , trying to get the veteran look , battle hardened .

Hi Guys ,

Been dong a little bit more on this , finished the gold band on the cap in NMM, theuniform colour is virtually there , possible looking again at the highs a little , though I do not want to push them too much , might work a little more on the shadows .

The collar is done ...loads still to do including the cap piping , the epaulettes, the buttons the ranks badges and of course the meddals

Just spotted I have not done the pupils and catchlights ...silly boy !!!

Off to paint

Thanks for looking in

Hi Keith ,

The colour is actually a bit darker so it might be the pics but You are right I will darken the colour a little more probably with a wash mix of D Prussian Blue and Black or look at the Blues that I have from Reaper .

Perhaps others might suggest their colour mix as well for this RA uniform ?

Hi Guys ,

Been working on the lacework and the epaulettes recently , finally done the eyes(phew!!!) ...still lots to do , all in NMM etc ......hopefully you can get the general idea ........this is now getting to actually come together ...at last ....I have finished the medals and the epaulettes "golds" , still to redo the red facings

The blue is as Jimbo says in his post a lot darker and actually looksfine in the flesh !!!

Thanks for looking

Hi Keith ,

Thanks for the comments , the pics are not great but the NMM does look a lot better , I think I might revisit the collar lace again ........then its the brass buttons/leather peak and strap the rank and then base up ......then ....its the Naval VC winnersfor me !!!

After that might have a break from medals !!!!!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your version .

Thanks for the comments
