Steampunk Infantry (4)

Just a small update today.
Yesterday was a beautifull spring day and we had some beergarden action in the afternoon, and later my wife and I watched the first two episodes of "Fringe" - yeah, that was OK, the series has potential :-)

Anyhow, I continued with the officers longcoat.




To me it looks as if I managed a rather dynamic, yet natural flow of the coat. What do you say?



Also I'm pretty pleased that the structure of the document protector I used to roll the GS flat gave the coat a slightly leathery structure.

Since the pieces have to cure again, I worked on "Little-Lenin".
His cap now received a proper front shield.

I think it is the right size to make the cap look commisar-ish enough, and also make the whole appearance look more serous.

The cap will now receive a small rim, s skull or eagle at the front, plus some ornaments on the front shield - but of course it has to cure first.
So, that's it for today - another beautifull, sunny day, so I don't know how much time I will spend tonight in my "office" and work on them.
Cheers
Klaus
