Napoleonic Drum Major 2

I sanded the breeches smooth and added coat tails from putty.



As my intention is to preserve as much of the details on the original figure as possible (including the bicorne with large plume and tri-colour plumes and turned-down boots),  I pored thru my references on drum majors. I eventually settled on the Drum major from the 67th Ligne regiment as the obvious choice. It also had the most colourful of the possible Drum major uniforms.

Based on the choice, the horizontal back pockets were sculpted. I will be adding buttons but no turnback facings.
