E, isn't the 'coat' made of leather too?Mmm ... must be as the picture as I have it in my file on the laptop is the right way round ...
It looks quite rigid.

It was indeed made of leather. Apparently a light coloured leather. After I took the picture, I saw on the figure that most of my attempted texture rubbed off. I used oils which was not quite dry (in our whether not dry after three days) and me handling the figure most of the "texture" rubbed off. Touched it up in the mean time.
I suppose the figure is getting on in term of progress. Very, very slow though. I also think Mr Cromwell is slowly but surely evolving into, let's say a Civil War Cavalry Officer. I am trying to break up the colour on the leather coat(??) with streaks (of rain) and general weathering. A bit too heavy in my opinion... . I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I do not really like working with large scale figures. But this one was suppose to be a fun project ... still is I suppose.

It’s looking great, but I might recommend something a liitle less yellow for the wear on the boots.
