Thanks for looking
Chris

look Great!
You may want to recheck your sources though.
I just finished mine in 15mm and I believe the trooper saddle blanket cover ( shabique?- Spelling?) had the large band in crimson with white trim on either side of it and not the white/silver band as presented (which was typical for officers).

Good point…..went steam roller in through that!,,,,,,

You are of course right, thanks for pointing it out…..I will get the brush out tonight and do some correcting…..
Cheers

Nice work. Can you post larger and sharper photos on your site. Too small to see details. Thanks!

For the photography (hasten to add I am no expert);
-get more artificial light, not a flash unless a ring (and use white balance)
-use a tripod (or even a mini bean bag) for a longer exposure
-and a timer to avoid shake from pressing to take the shot
-and, above all, a narrow aperture to give greater depth of focus
-and play with ASA settings. 400 would do fine and give you greater depth for given light.

If you have an SLR these are all standard, but even the simplest digital these days allows most of this

Attention to focus and depth of focus especially would transform your pictures. The painting is impressive.

Thanks for all the constructive comments much appreciated. Have up dated the blog with a new set of sharper pics……still need to work on the f stop though.

Please take another look and let me know

MG – the dark red will be out later today!

Thanks
Chris

The pics are transformed and now do justice to your painting skills. Terrific.
