Hi Steve
Looking excellent. I've not seen anything like it's so even more special.

All together now ".Peter Pumpkinhead came to town spreading wisdom and cash around".
See who can guess the song.

Trousers have been finished and patches added, thought i would use the same colour as the blue which will be used on the soldier, to tie them into each other. Weathered with pigments.

How does it take 2-3hrs to paint some bloomin trousers !, lots of shadows and highlights with greys, ivory and white tones. Could probably have skipped a few steps, and also left the back alone as nothing will be seen !
