Below are some smudgy phone snaps updating the progress of the bust of the Officer 9th East Norfolk Regiment. More details have been added with Magic Sculpt and he now has a hat. I realised the buttons were in pairs, so they had to be moved and he must have the most complex cross belt badge of the period! More cleaning up and finishing to do.

Fantastic looking sculpture.Im new to figure conversion and try to make a few items in magic sculp etc.I am not overly happy with epoxy putty but wouldnt have a clue about sculpey etc.
Very inspiring work!!!.

I have seen this on FB, fantastic.

Nice Job Rob, coming along very nicely.

All the best Steve

Kev, the hair is his own, powdered, rather than a wig. The scarf ends are seperate, he has a queue underneath. I used couple of other Fosten illustrations for reference.

I am not going to say anything nice about this as you did not pick the one I had voted for so I am throwing my toys out of the pram.

But

If this was the one I voted for I would have to say it is very very nice, I look forward to seeing the finished Bust. As Nap said maybe a little more sideburns.

Can I add as an aside,
The cross belt plate is of a seated Britannia, Hence the nickname The Holy Boys, when the regiment fought in the peninsular war, the Spanish though it was of the Holy virgin Mary, the other story is that the soldiers sold their bibles for beer.
The regimental march is Rule Britannia.
