2 Swedish cavalry officers "Drabant" 1680-1700


Recommended Posts

As these two figures are simular, I choose to put them in the same topic.

Packages

Parts

The first thing I noticed was the missing sword, which I got sent to me.

After cleaning up parts, I started to dry fit them. and then I noticed the second problem.

Both hands are left! :)

I told Magnus at Tradition of Scandinavia about it, and he should sort it out with the sculptor.

Meanwhile I was asked to do what I could to rectify the problem.

I did some surgery and replaced the thumb

and the fingers

Then I glued the arm to the body

and lastly the hand to the arm

Now I need to fill a small gap between the hand and the sleeve.

Why is it so hard to paint faces, and especially the eyes?

It seems like when I get one good, the other one looks wierd.

But I guess, practice is the answer. Just so damn boring! ;)

I'll go on touching up the face, and try to correct the eyes.

Cheers,
