This ptg is very detailed and the focus is on Col Berthe. This is where I try to bring this figure up a notch.
The shabraque was further covered with putty and reshaped.
The horse neck has prominent muscles on both sides of the throat. Added more mane. The head and shako was built up in stages. Once I was satisfied with the shako shape, I added details.
A mameluke sabre was carefully added to the right hand which was resculpted. A tassel was added to the back attached with a tiny wire.
The fig and horse were worked on separately. the last pic is quite satisfactory to me.

Hi Louis,
Thx for yr kind comment. I get lucky now and then....hahaha.
I managed to overcome my funk period over this project as the details were rather overwhelming when you study the ptg.
I redid the left arm and bulked out the shabraque pommel to get the juxtapositioning right. Added more mane.
Added tiny buttons to the pouch belt. Will trim down the right glove before I start the ptg. Other details will be added later.

Now adding the basic details. The straps, headstalls and nose band are covered with white studs. Ive added some historex items and the tail has been added.
I propose to add the mameluke like decorations then paint fully, then add the more complex head decorations.
You need the patience of a saint to do this fiddly work. Saint inity....hahaha.
