Hi all
Just a couple of pics of the progress on the cloak, I also had a bit of a calamity with the top part, when I was fitting it to the figure, part of the collar part crumbled away. so I had to re fit it and then I made the collar into a fur one
So that's the cloak fixed on now, hopefully I should be able to paint the rest of it in situ

Ho Paul,
Thanks for the hint on milliput, just followed it (not on a belt yet) and been successful. For some unknown mental reasoning I was going the opposite direction by wetting instead of drying.
I'll be repetitive but have to say your work is stunning.

There are few things about Bodi that I find strange .
Firstly there is a statue of her out side Parliament on the embankment.
A fitting tribute to a Serial arsonist .Not sure about that one.
Allegedly she was killed by the romans in the Battle of the A5 ,if they had got hold her her,Im sure they would have fed her to the pigs. Which is probably why they have never found her grave.
However if they secreted her away and was fearful of he Romans catching them they may well have buried her pretty sharpish and left it unmarked .
So I reckon up near Mancetter in the Midlands is her untouched grave possibly with chariot but definitely with all her possessions. And laid out in state as was the bloke at Sutton Hoo.
Keep digging men she's out there somewhere. Or maybe as the Staffordshire hoard was found a lonely metal detectorist may well get that spine chilling beep one day.
Anyway back to the modelling a nation waits.

Ian many thanks, sometimes luck is with ya
Francesco cheers bud glad the advice worked
Harry, No one knows what happened to her, she wasnt killed or captured by the Romans, there was a rumour that she poisoned herself but its all hypothesis. But on the final point who knows one day someone might find her after all they just found Richard III
So still on the cloak, sorry i havnt posted for a few days, been busy with work, but heres the update , the whole cloak was base coated and the shaded ready for the detail work to go on.
So just the main bulk to do

Looking really good Paul .... The tartan is brilliant.
Funny thing is that when I worked in Leicester I actually parked on top of poor old Richard.

I,m not sure if that particular pattern of check should be 2 checks or 3 checks to the centimetre.
Nah!! just kidding(little joke ,you know... rivet counter,check counter).
That bloke Tacy tite arse reckons that 80,000 Britains were slain at the A5 punch up.
So there must be a blinking big grave there somewhere full of body parts.
I was wondering if your drivers arms might be there.
Can you imagine the village Bobby on that morning, Now look I don't want any trouble here ,Break it up and go home.
Come on hands up who's got an offensive weapon.
By the end of the day he's got over 80000 deaths to report. Some shift that must have been. 
Good work Paul as would be expected .I like the way that you are able to concentrate upon one section at a time.
The methodical way you work .I suppose that distinguishes the artist from the novice.
Great modelling ,coming along nicely.

I guess it's just us Celts who understand that one Sir...\ said:Funny thing is that when I worked in Leicester I actually parked on top of poor old Richard.
Paul,
This gets more and more stunning after each session Sir, I'm still ogling the inside Tartan job you have done, really can't wait (but I guess I'll have too) to see everything all together and finished...
Looking forward to the next instalment now...
Andy...
