    This is Fer Miniatures US cavalry which I have slightly converted to a Dragoon.
    I removed the lace on the front of the jacket and carved out a line so to fit a shoulder belt. This was made with lead sheet.
    Next in line was a sword knot made from masking tape.
    Painted with acrylic paint and inks.

    Very nicely done. A fine job on a bust that is very difficult to pull off because of its apparent 'simplicity'
    Reality is it's a tough paint job and you've cracked it (y)

    A lovely little conversion Bob, very clean & precise with your lead foil shoulder belt addition, & superbly painted as always. Dark blue can be a difficult shade to pull off, but you’ve done it admirably.
    Nice addition to your cabinet!

    I think the blue line is being stretched too far now.
