    My other project, We Are Human, has been put on hold while I wait for a missing part. So.....

    I first painted this guy a year or more ago, wasn't happy with the result and put him on the shelf to gather dust. So while I'm waiting for my missing part I decided to strip 'em and start over, hoping for a better result. He's from Bonaparte's Military Models, 250mm scale.

    Thanks, Kev. Still debating with myself whether our boy is 'on parade' with a pristine white (actually it's a very light grey) helmet or whether I should beat up/stain
    the helmet a little. Plenty of time to make that decision I guess.

    Just a little more...
    The collar and shoulder boards were a royal pain in the - as they say in France - tuchus. For those of you who speak French, tuchus is creole French. For those who speak creole French, it's northwestern creole French... as perhaps spoken in... Utah.
