Looking great Neil. Glad you are back on this one.
You're really on a roll with the discards Neil...fantastic work on the uniform coat, back pack and canteen. The rye is as rye can be. :thumb2:
Cheers,

That's a neat idea on the back pack Neil, might work well on a Russian ushanka.
That coat is a fab, can you do a SBS please.

ooh that's ambitious-do you have any pics?
Cheers Tim, I'm going to finish it now!
many thanks Richard, I'm trying hard to keep up the care and attention on the little details. I'm getting impatient now the end is in sight.
Thanks John. I will think about doing a separate SBS soon , but I want to get this done now before I lose the will to live!
The base looks great Neil, and the extras are just outstanding work. Really looking forward to the finished article.
No never thought to take any pics ,would like to see it now.
Can't wait to see more...the level of details of the uniforms and equipment is stunning....

Good looking debris. Going to bring this to life!
Great work Neil, very clean at the moment.
OMG it’s finally finished!
This is something I’ve wanted to do since I first saw the painting as a teenager, so it’s only taken me fifty years to get there.
I have thoroughly enjoyed it, even if it got a bit intense at times. I never expected to have to make something as complicated as the Scots Grey’s sword belt, and the kilt was an experience I won’t repeat in a hurry.
The only drawback with it stretching out so long is that when I started it my painting was rather basic, and it has improved over the time, so that the cuirassier is not as good as the other two figures. But there’s no way I am prolonging this any longer, so he will have to stay as he is.
I am really grateful to everyone who has commented and encouraged me, as I do find the added dimension of sharing the build helps to keep me focused on finishing, when I might otherwise allow myself to be distracted by shiny new things.
There are more pictures on the ‘completed’ thread.
Thanks again for following

Cracking!
Fantastic...it's done Neil. Too bad for us modelers we don't have the bevy of beauties, champagne and a pedestal with a medal ceremony at the finish line but the feeling is still something else.
Cheers,
Richard
