Hi Steve
Not sure I'll be hurrying to do more
Miniart figures for the time being!
He's done:
Today it was on to the gear, and as you can see, there was a lot of it - powder flask, shot flask, martingale, dagger, match cord, sword, musket and musket rest. I decided that the kit dagger was just too rough, so I made another from spare bits and pieces, and also replaced the moulded match cord with one made from glue-soaked cotton. The striped cord was made by twisting together lengths of black and white embroidery thread, then soaking it in glue.
Putting everything together was quite fiddly, especially the flasks and cords (the large flask is suspended from the martingale and the cord is tucked into the belt).
Quite pleased with how it's turned out though the modelling of some of the parts was pretty rough and compromised the finish somewhat.
