    Expert painting.

    For accuracy, may I point out that the division patch of the First Cav was sewn closer to the shoulder seam than illustrated. Also, COL Moore also wore the patch of his Korean War outfit, the 7th Infantry Division, on his right shoulder. COL Hal Moore Vietnam.jpg

    The NY Times photo that, I think, was the inspiration for this excellently done bust, shows no shoulder patch at all. 14moore-obit-2-articleInline.jpg

    Outstanding paint work, I especially like the effects on the helmet cover.

    Perhaps I should post these comments on the forum thread about "Artistry vs Accuracy"...
    First Cav was one of my assignments while serving in Vietnam, so a bit "more aware" than other topics. Could not give a clue about the proper color for the piping of the sleeve cuff of the 43rd Bavarian Fusiliers Grenadier Company.

    Your comments are fine here Ned, and both welcome & useful. I just meant it in the sense that although it's not on the photo that was used as a basis for the bust, it adds a touch more context and also a splash of colour variety to the piece.
