Hi folks

I recently received a torso and a hat from TFB ( quick service ) of a ACW subject details below ,so started looking around and found a fair few wearing the hunting shirt during the later 1812 war

After donating the cap to spares , I removed the tied hair and the buttons on shirt building up new facial hair and hair as well as a new shirt

I also added a collar and a necktie

Took off the end of cross belt adding another longer version with retaining strap

For the hat it was case of trial and error on both brim and crown together with a lot of carful sanding !

Added the side details on hat top edge and a brim band

Starting with this ( but the unbearded version )

Stay tuned

Have FUN @ the bench

Hi Guys

Thanks for the comments appreciate them

This all began after doing the slouch hat , learnt a lot from that so I thought ....could I do this ....and this is the result

I quite like the colour option of the red edging so that's what I will go for

Stay tuned .......

Happy benchtime

Now all based up and primed ...waiting patiently in line ...

Have fun @ your benches

Hi folks

Still working on the film study of Napoleon....so for a break decided to basecoat this slight conversion using TFB torso/head....Militia 1812

I have sanded out the 2 blips at top of hat since piccy

Cue the piccy
