    Very fine and neat work, especially the braid and shabraque.

    The pelisse does look very big to me (if it is a pelisse) more like an overcoat in bulk and length, the side views and rear showing the braid in particular. Comparing to the body it should finish at the waist.

    Other than that I think very crisp and in no way do I mean to take away the skill involved, just what I am seeing before the paint goes on :)

    Thanks for looking and commenting.
    Before 1804 the pelisse is 20cm longer than the dolman (this regiment was raised in 1800).
    I have cut the pattern of the pelisse in lead foil upon an Historex torso as a tailor would have made it. I have then duplicated this pattern in Andrea Sculpt and added the sleeves, modelled around brass wire.

    I am using photoetched round rivet heads, size 0.6mm (0.5 would be better but I do not have). The brand is Extratech.

    Outstanding work so far , a real masterpiece . I can't wait to see some colours go on as there has been a bit of a down turn in Napoleonic figures over the last few years and they can be so colourful .

    Some close ups on the pelisse, laces and buckles.
    Piece is now covered with primer (Humbrol #63, airbrush) and ready for serious painting.
