1/10 Le Cimier Polish Lancer, finished

Here is Polish Lancer bust finished.

The scarlet part of the czapska was finished in the same way as the turnbacks but with fewer highlights and shadows. The brass part of the plate was first base coated Graveyard Earth followed by Brazen Brass and finally Burnished Gold. The plume was based with Skull White then washed with a mix of Kommando Khaki and Bleached Bone then highlighted with progressively lighter shades of Bleached Bone + Skull White unitl finally pure white. The white cords and ornaments were based with Fortess Grey a tiny bit of Chaos Black was added for deep shadows and highlights were done by adding Skull White until finally just pure white.

The chin strap was a little fussy to get on. While bending it to the right shape I ended up breaking it in two but a little super glue got it back together and as long as no one looks to close it turned out ok.
