Sharpe's Loup and Captain Frederickson, Major Sharpe (modded), Sergeant Harper mods (done for now) WIP

Wow. Pretty cool. The work on that head sculpt really paid off. And the jacket is looking awesome.

If I recall from just a few nights ago, the blind eye could be a little bit more whitish. I don't remember this detail precisely, but the nose-side edge of the left (camera right) eyebrow might need to be a tad fuller (unless this is sparse due to scarring).

Cheers! Correct on both counts! I need to fix the colouring inside his nostrils too.

Thank you Stryker! We're getting there.

Trying to make sense of his long cloak, not a lot to go on but you can see it in the pics and even better in the video when he's riding away but you'll need to scroll back to watch that, too tired to repost it now. Found pics showing a sort of similar cloak idea for Napoleonic soldiers so I based it off what the call a bivouac cloak.
Did a bit more work on his face, not the white eye yet, also trimmed the helmet fur plume and attached his straight sabre that is full metal and 'engraved'. Cloak not finished yet.





















OLD BOXERS LOL.










NOT ATTACHED YET













WAITING ONNN MORE BISON GLUE NOW...

Coming along very nicely, he looks resplendent in that cloak.

Resplendent is a good word. Nice work, Alex.

Cheers! Starting to look like plushy! LOL.

Done some grey leather work for his belts, started trouser decorations, got medal stuff to make and redid the gold on his coat plus more bits and bobs..

PVA SUCKS!

NICE. That is looking so cool.

That you took on something so elaborate in the first place -- yet again -- is most impressive -- yet again. And I have no doubt that you shall conquer -- yet again.

Cheers GTF! This was supposed to be a simple quick build...yet again it turned into a bit more lol!

Brother, ALL your builds turn into a LOT more — which is awesome and fun to observe.

LO, seems to be the case 90% of the time! The glue finally arrived but so did a 1/1 full steel & brass Iron Man helmet and a replica SCAR-SC that both need work so my loyalties to projects are divided right now...

Ah... the distraction of multiple projects at the same time ... not to mention real life distractions ... or feline predators on the prowl!

Well back on it now, done the cloak with tassels attachment, tassels on boots, brocade decoration patterns on trousers (made from Hasbro Slave Leia's soft boots), started work on his light cavalry sabre, the one I have is period correct and for French light cavalry but so his is just a different design used at the same time. Weird how the hilts are so straight on the French sabres, must have influenced the American ones too as I always thought they look weird too! I guess it's because I grew up around British centric and eastern European centric influences that both use very curved hilts on their sabres. I'm also ready to do his medals now after finally working out what they are (I think lol). Pretty high honours stuff! The Legionnaires' Medal Of Honour and Medal Of Military Merit.

STILL NEED TO BUILD KNUCKLE GUARD ETC..

OKAY DELETED HALF THE PICS INCLUDING ALL THE REFERENCE PICS AND IT'S STILL NOT LOADING THEM AND DOING THE CAPTCHA THING...I GIVE UP..

Nice work. I'm sure you'll get there. The photos do display in the recently shared images at the bottom of the main forum page, I still don't know what's going on here, though I suspect the sheer number of imgur images in one post is probably at the root of it. Usually in instances like this leaving the tab open for a good while eventually allows the images to load correctly; or it might fix itself in a few hours. But there may be more to it in this instance.

Something fishy going on, I usually post excessive amounts of pictures so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll try deleting a few, a reference pic might be too large, or one of my pics might have been taken on a high pixel setting by mistake.

NOPE, THAT DIDN'T WORK! It's weird as you said you can see them in the preview no problem. Perhaps you need to check how many pics you have restricted our posts to? Still getting that CAPTCHA nonsense everytime I reset that particular post.

Okay let's see if these sword mod pics load okay.







GOING FROM THIS STYLE



TO THIS STYLE

The error is in the way your code is typed.

The initial image tag has somehow become separated from the URL which still included the closing image tag.

See how the [ img ] is printing in black, but the URL and closing tag are showing as blue?

That won't work.

Copy the entire string:

Code:

 [img]https://i.imgur.com/8YG5hKs.png[/img]

and paste it back in as one piece. It should work.

Thanks, David, very observant. However, no matter how many times and how many ways I tried, every time I resubmit Shovelchop's (edited) post, same result. No idea what went wrong in the formatting (apart from the [ img ] dissociating), but it seems to have compromised the post indefinitely. I am reposting the photos below. Nothing different about them, they just seem to work fine in a new post.

It still messes up if I insert the first three links (though I don't see why), so I skipped those. The first link leads to the photo David reposted.

(Since they are no longer needed I've removed the photos that were posted here -- they now display correctly in Shovelchop's original post.)

The issue appears to be with the third image link. Try removing that one link and see if the original post will display properly. (And if... no... when it does, you can clear out all this techno-babble that is distracting from the original content. )

Thanks guys! I followed Davidd's advice and deleted the 3rd image which did the trick!

Glad the photo issue got resolved. He is looking so GOOD. The gold tassles on his boots are such a fantastic little detail.

Cheers SWS! More shiny stuff with his new sabre handguard. Just the medals to go now, already got him sitting on a horse!

Newly created sword hilt painting finished. Medals made and attached, white eye painted (annoying as usual), cigarillo made and painted (made from the tissue paper I used to clean the excess paint from the white eye lol).
