The cocked hat is now fitted and the join finished. As a brief aside, the reworking of the crown is about half-way done.
While I was cleaning up the hat, I discovered the second unforgivable faux-pas on this sculpture: there is a tiny skull on the bow of the cockade! Really??? Again, the fix is easy and quick; but the question remains: WHY???!!!
Given the quality of the kit as a whole, I suppose these are little more than assumed-market-dri- ven indulgences, a venial infraction. But it does make one wonder what the perception of history might be at either end of the marketplace?
Back to the bench!
