Very impressive, Kev. Really looking forward to seeing how you'll handle the miniature portrait.. A miniature of a miniature, yikes!

There was illness so Hawk never made it ....probably why you never saw them

That will probably be the first thing I will go for !

I agree it's probably the best of the Waterloo set IMO

Happy benchtime

Nap

Tiny update

Added the small round medal ,small detail I've not seen on other versions

Hi everyone

Blücher is back at the front of the line so to get me in the mood here's some more pics of a version by ROD CURTIS from USA





More portrait pics ....




Think I might do the eyes first then the portrait of the Prince Regent , then remaining awards

Hi everyone

Quick Iffyvision piccy's

Eyes done just need to edge in with flesh base

Started on the " massive " portrait.......coming along nicely ...definately a optivisor in use ! .....will need to lighten the backing colour around the PR , this should define the hair shaping , then it's the sash on it after doing a little more on the red uniform , then the aguilette and shoulder cord,buttons , then the actual frame surround

All thoughts welcome and indeed suggestions are

Thanks for looking in

Happy benchtime

Hi Warren, Aris and Mario

Thanks for the comments ......paint the surround yesterday ......wasn't happy at all so I removed the tiny circles of putty and reworked the surface again

....looks better now ( I hasten to add nothing wrong with DG's surround ! ) ....now painted up again

Thinking of adding tiny flecks of sparkle using something suitable like glitter .....Malc C did similar with his Nelson diamond plume in the Military Modelling magazine article

Might also use Kristal Klear over the portrait....I'm thinking it must have been behind a extremely thin glass ........anyone got any thoughts ?

Will post pic later

Happy benchtime

Here's the piccy as it looks at the moment , the portrait has a satin/gloss varnish on

Nap
