    Good afternoon all. After quite some time on the bench, I'm pleased to finally show off my completed corporal of the 7th Dragoon Guards on the Cape Frontier. He is a fantastic sculpt from Troop 54 with a few minor additions by me. As usual, mostly painted in Humbrol enamels with a bit of acrylic and oils thrown in to achieve certain effects. I hope you like him! Regards Pete

    Well done Pete, superb painting, the leather on the trousers look great and well worn.
    I have not got this one and you have persuaded me to get it.
    Keep safe Pete.

    Thanks Bob. Funnily enough I have a few in the pipeline that you have done very nicely- that Avanpost voltigeur and Troop 54's 88th sgt. Doing my best to keep out of harm's way Bob- just joined our rural crime team. Regards Pete

    Thanks Winfield. I put some more details on the Brunswick rifle - sling swivels, bayonet bar and reshaped the lock and hammer. I also put a couple of historex buckles on the sword slings. Regards Pete.

    Hi Pete

    Great to see this lovely figure completed

    Really like the presentation , the groundwork flowers contrast nicely

    The uniform colour and the helmet looks excellent

    Why not enter a piece in FOTM as well

    Thanks for sharing

    Happy benchtime
