This figure had the saddle flaps resculpted to look more supple.

After finishing the obvious details, I realise that the front of the tunic is not correct, according to my references.I also converted some stirrups to fit the oversized boots (not shown here)

Hi Paddy,

Thanks for your kind remarks. In between the ambitious shadowboxes, I find time to work on these single figures. now and then. The Xmas period allows me the chance to focus more on the figures simply because I have to pack up the big boxes for the celebrations.

Ive managed to really advance on this piece. Substituted real buttons made from a punch and die set. Its ready for the ptg stage.
