Hello

This is the latest piece from CGS Military and sculpted by David Grieve.

Household Cavalry Life Guard Trooper

Excellent work

Mobo

Very nice Chezzie

very nice paintwork.

Marc

Crisp, neat job there, Chezzie, and excellent metallics

Nice and precise... and as Nap asked: what was used on the helmet?

Hello gents. I used Molotow Chrome ink for the helmet. Painted on with a brush and drys perfect. Not cheap to buy but worth it and, in my opinion, the best chrome silver out there

I assume that you use the refill as a paint?

Looks great, one wearing a cuirass done in this stuff would be amazing

Just a pity they only do chrome.

Anybody had experience of using Liquid Leaf which comes in several flavours, as:

Any plans to do a Blues and Royals companion piece?

Yes mate Graham at CGS will be bringing a B&R out in the next couple of weeks

Superbly done, especially the metals. Half figure would be great, full figure in 150/180/200mm would be even better (http://www.hcavfoundation.org/about/about-the-household-cavalry/ceremonial/).

Nice one Chezzie. Interesting idea re the silver pen but great result.

Neal

Thanks Neal

Both busts are really first class and it’s really nice to see David sculpting again they really are a pleasure To paint...and can also vouch for the Molotow chrome paint it gives a really good high shine finish as long as you don’t touch it for a few days .......

Life Guard two words not Lifeguard. I'm going to correct every time I see my regiment misnamed!

Life Guard it is.

Martin while we have your attention could you please help with the Headgear on this,the picture I have is not clear (and I’m colour blind)Lol but what metal is the top (spike?)from the base to the top which supports the (plume?)

It’s Chrome Kevin

Cheers mark.....like I say I’m colour blind in some colours and can’t see the changes especially when it’s highly polished.....thanks again...Kevin
