68. Day, 6. of March 2012

Today I see, or paint, "black" again.

The "segment" under the (on the photos!) left Kapsitulnij was in the row.





With lights I was more reserved one more piece than further on top, but they are there!





With the bright-dark course of the "black" of the shoulder about the cartridge loops up to the belly I am quite contented.

And mostly pleases me: The "black" gap turns out more and more ideal detail "bearer"!

I am really glad that I have decided at that time on the colour pattern of the classical uniform!

69. Day, 7. March 2012

Today, unfortunately, the time has reached only to paint the lower part of the silver braid in the Tscherkesska (uniform coat) …:



The technology is, by the way, the same one as I have described already once in post #91 …:

Result: It gleams softly, but it does not shine!

70. Day, 8. March, 2012

At first to the present day the suitable picture …:



And today then there is a „small end“ …:

The last "black section" of the Tscherkesska was just painted. Also here I go forward with the lights only again very subtly, but they are there!





The overall impression which the "black" Tscherkesska of our Cossack makes now, I like very well!

71. Day, 9. of March 2012

Two small, but for me very important corrections.

Two of the Kapsitulnij (cartridge loops) were a little bit squalidly painted …:



One sees this though only under very "hard" light directly from above, but, nevertheless, it has disturbed me!

The places were decolorized – again with alcohol and paintbrush – carefully and anew painted …:





So – and with it I say goodbye not only in the week-end, but for the whole next week.

Here an important family party stands in a queue, there richly comes visit and my painting room is used as a substitute bedroom. So I must clear everything and do not come to the time.

Here on the 19th of March it goes on!

cant wait to see this piece finished,
again your presentation is awesome, spiked with many history.
Like that.

Thanks old mate!

All the best to You!

It is less to complete. Looks great.

Thank You very much, Eduardo!

All the best to You!

Meticulous work Martin. Love your attention to detail!

Good luck with your week without painting!

Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks Adrian!

I have today my 25th wedding day and my house is full of guests. For that, I cannot paint this week...

All the best to You!

Happy Wedding Anniversary, Martin.

And "Thanks!" to You, Eduardo!

Cheers

Thank You, Carl and Pedro!!!

Hello, to You to all - nice that you are here again!

My silver wedding celebration is over, a pity that the guests are away again.

But now I can paint again!

Today I have finished the saber strap.

As well as already before these colours came for the application …:



The small "tongue" completely below in the belt …



… I have painted deliberately deep black.

We will still see, why …

And the front part of my Cossack's bust is ready with it up to still to be mounted (and to be painted) small parts!

73. Day, 20. March 2012

On the back carried – and carry – Circassian Cossacks a so-called "Bashlyk" …:



As already once shown, it was carried by a cord around the neck …:



A Bashlyk was nothing else than a hood scarf.:





With cold the upper end was put and the scarf ends were knotted around the neck (or buttoned).

Bashlyks it gave in all possible colours.

Special of the Bashlyk: The hood was big enough that the voluminous Kubanka-fur cap could worn under it…:





With the classical uniform of the Terek Cossacks was (and is!) of the Bashlyk of course blue …:



With the Kuban-Cossacks it is red …:



However, before I can begin with the painting, I must correct first of all my own foolishness!

Andy has copied the striking seams in the hood like all the other details – after photos - wonderfully precisely, with the Promo painting of Eong song Lee it comes wonderfully out.:



Only I idiot had sharpened by the cleaning of the bust in my initial euphoria a lot too much of it away …:



So the gods have placed before painting the new sculpting of these seams.

I have made this today with Milliput "Superfine White" …:





Moreover, there is to report still that the base is ready for the Cossack's bust …:





An friend of mine has built again a wonderful piece for me „on the measure“ on which the little one will certainly feel good …:

74. Day, 21. March 2012

Today I have moved my painting hour to the early morning, because I must finish today, unfortunately, a lot before other things.

Just I have primed all new made up places with the paintbrush …



… and after the dry with …



… undercoated, so that the final red later will look a little bit "fuller".



This "Carmine Red" really shines very strong!

And on the photos I see level that I must change two of the seams made yesterday once more – there I have made an error in reasoning that does not fit thus! The hood is unterhit at the head!



Tomorrow …!

Martin, show us the finish bust.
Pedro.

Thanks Pedro - a few days still...

Cheers

75. Day, 22. March 2012

Two seams were corrected, or were made new!

After two-hour drying time they were postundercoated with the paintbrush. Now the Milliput can harden!

Moreover, I have with these colours …



… the left side of the Bashlyk ready painted.
