    I haven't done much since last posting but have now got most of the base colours on but still want to do the collar tabs, epaulettes and buttons before starting the final colour coats starting from the helmet and working down.

    Many thanks Guys, I'm really pleased with the helmet Bob and glad I had a good think before going in with the Milliput.

    I have tried it with other colours Chris as well but the red seems to work best.

    Thanks a lot Jim.

    Thank you Chris, the plate has five different colours on it, first Green Ochre, then Earth Wash, Bronze, Brass then a very light going over with Gold just for the highlights.
