    I have now managed to complete a little more on this latest project,i have done some more to the Czapska with the painting of the wite band and black turban,i still need to add a litte more detail to the larger tassles and cords but its coming along nicely.
    I still hav'nt painted the face as yet apart from the undercoat as I wanted to keep the crimson / red mix going so I could complete the plastron and collar,this stage I am happy with now and I have added some shading to the white piping on the plastron as well.
    the buutons I did with Dark star metallic and silver ink.
    I have also added a base coat for the hair which I will finish in oils as well.

    All looks great so far Brian.......looks a bit like a bull fighter pose or maybe a pirouette in the pics, sorry :).Yes, I know; my overactive imagination just gave me a slap in the face :). Keep up the good work.

    Thanks Wayne for your kind coments mate
  10. Wow wow wow mate, I'm not here often but partly it makes it better when I see this. Superb mate and now I'm looking at part one. You nailed the Crimson which is a hard colour, I think you got it bang on. I've not seen a piece painted so quickly, a good sign though :) cheers mate, Gra
