Karsinski

He's coming along nicely; I have finished the metal parts today, and started to work on the cartridge belt. I chose to go with a white belt vs. a silver one mostly because there's so much silver on this figure already, I wanted a bit more contrast. I've gone with a cooler tone for the belt so it would contrast against the white of the jacket.

I finished the "weave" of crimson through the sash, and will touch it up before I hand it off to the collector.

I started the white lace embroidery at the collar, turn backs and at the lapel. I haven't decided if I'll use oils or acrylics for the pattern. It's an intriguing pattern and I really have to think through how I'll pull it off free-hand at the 54mm scale...
