PS ...It's your fault ...

Yes YOU !!!!...you icon of fashion


Verbal update ...been researching the belt using these pictures and others , there was a brass piece missing to the right and left of the retaining straps at front ......now in place

Also repositioned the buckles on these pieces .......

All buckles done and in place ...leaving to dry fully then it's the centre piece and surround and carefully drill out the holes

More tommorow ..inbetween review(s) ...inbetween social distancing shopping

Happy benchtime

Hi everyone

Bit of a Iffyvision update

Belt nearly done ..., little bit of tidy up on the outer buckle , then add centre and lion and crown

Once the sash is in place and I am happy then where the layers of paint have lifted I will need to fill in slightly .....then it will be a repaint of the tunic .....

It's all going to be worth it !

Happy benchtime

Nap

All part of the fun ...so they say ..lol ....Saga ...more episodes than a soap story !

Nap

That's good ..lol ...just done the tiny lion ...3 times!....could be coming up to a forth !

Hi folks

Bit of a Iffyvision update

Belt complete, sash done , now sorting out where previous paint layers have come off

Looks shiny where Vaseline was used to work the putty

Also redid the epaulettes ...need to redo the world and laurel leaves on them




Nap

Cheers Jimbo ....it looks messy overall but with new basecoat done will bring it all together ...letting it fully dry now ....

Also have finished the epaulettes and insignia on them and redid the piping at the rear of the tunic as well as using Miliput to level where the paint layers came off

Off to basecoat Rollet ...bit puttied out at the moment ...lol

Happy benchtime
