The question is did the 6th have the rosette with a badge as in above ref ......the Regimental tie matches the colours of Regimental tie is Red, Yellow & Forrest Green. which matches.

Cheers to Mick for digging ...all thoughts welcome



Couple more pics of slouch being worn by various



Colourised

H everyone

I've not been painting more on this as..........." YES I have been making a slouch hat "

.......more challenging than I wanted , masses of muttering and even more sanding .....

...but it's getting there .....

....going for the simple band around the crown as in the colourised pictures (particular the buglers)

Will post pics after I've sanded the top of his head more level

FYI ...wanting this fellow to look like he's just had his studio picture taken prior to going on active service

Q the Iffyvision pics .....

...1st attempt ....failed ! ....there are another 3 that went in bin! ..was going for the floppy campaign look

Straight off the QM shelf look



Might decrease the gap between the crown and turned up side ....

Just lodged on the bust ( still to leave head top ......dremel )

...also added to the moustache as worn by a reference

Still to add rosette etc on side

All thoughts welcome

PS...also found this of a Farrier Sgt from the Lancers ...rather like the badge ....Mmmmmmm

Thank you Simon

Comment from Mick

"For the Sgt their is no right or wrong the Regimental badge can be worn on the chevron as per the Lancer or just above like the Dragoon. with the trade badge above the Regimental badge.

One thing and I am not sure the answer. would a farrier be carrying a carbine on active service as his axe would still be in use for removal of hoof. etc + if axe was carried he would need the axe belt which he does not have..

How about a rough rider with spur similar to a horse shoe. M"

Sounds logical so going to do a Rough Riders badge instead

Cheers Steve ....final bit of scratching ......on the rosette ...3 layers getting smaller then the castle badge

After that's dry ....fit to head and buildup the hair a touch ....then it's add the Rough riders badge ...

....I am trying to talk myself out of removing the castle badge and resculpting it more onto the chevrons ....then putting the new badge ( rough rider )above the cheverons !!!!!

Initially I though ..oh it's only one colour really ...........and then I see rated looking around ......why do I do this to myself ...lol

Stay tuned

Happy benchtime

Nap

You can go off people you know !.....LOL

Then get it onto the head ( now sanded back ) build up any slight gaps/ hair etc

All thoughts welcome
