Thanks Roc,
Now i can paint (hope so) laces and embroidery without metallic's. These are more convincing.

marc

These laces are not metallic. If I am correct he is supposed to be trooper of the Chasseurs à Cheval of the Imperial Guard. The troopers' lace was in a light orange type of colour called 'aurore' by the French. Have a look at the scabbard and you see the difference between laces and metals (brass).

Jeeze Roc, if you ever get tired of it I've got a nice comfortable shelf for it here, I'll even line it on all three sides with the velvet color of your choice. What a beauty!

Cor, thats a beauty, great all rounf I cant see anything amiss, and I love the plume, that looks like a unusual way of sculpting it, and works extreemly well, superb job, and one for the top shelf

Thank you guys for all the kind words.
