No masking tape at all?!?!?!? Are you really a human being? Once youre used to it, its quite simple. Sounds a bit unbelievable, but its true Paul, thats truly a masterpiece! Cant wait to see more. |

Hi all well a bit more done to the cloak and then a bit of a misshap  , as i was trying the fit it on the figure the top part crumbled away from around the neck line. So MKII, I fixed it to the figure and made the collar part into a fur collar, I, hopefully, should be able to finish the cloak now without taking off.      All for now Paul |

Wow Paul! just wow! You've really nailed the look on the tartan and the addition of the fur collar just makes him look a little tougher IMHO. Love how this one's coming together.

Hi all Cheers Bruce Bill many thanks, im just hoping it will look ok to have a fur collar and short sleeves, bit like the tourists up here wearing fleeces, hats and shorts sort of defeats the object Anyway still on the cloak, i shaded the main part and then started to add the detail in     Obviously still the main bulk to go but its gradually getting there Paul |

Think of the fur collar this way Paul, it's not to keep him warm, it's to designate his rank! After all he is Her Highness' Driver! Has to look the part. Nice update on the tartanage. |
