RIII Thank you.
Terri , thank you and here are the components of the groundwork:

My busiest time of the year , so I'm trying to get a little done each day.

Base remasked and snow applied:

The B.von replaced:

'Wet Snow' needs to be pressed down and I imagine it will 'melt' a little as the PVA glue drys , the slight yellowish tinge should dissipate as that happens too.

Thanks Terri & RIII !
I didn't like the yellow snow , F.Z. warned us about that , the result of using yellow PVA
.
Substituting white PVA took care of that:

The Baron is placed again and I'm tired of taking him off and on so I pressed him right home on the base.
I think the white is a 'cool' transition from base to fig.
Couldn't resist plonking his head on:

p90 & RIII ;
Thank you!

I would estimate at 75% completed. I have a list and working on it crossing off the details as they get done and adding more to the list as needed.
Last night the red used on the hat was toned down and outlining begun. The red is ok , but I think it may be the wrong color , I'll leave it as it looks ok:

I just spent an hour or so on drybrushing, bringing out the details and making the fig come alive.
Thanks for lookin'!

Continuing on as a daily routine...
Epaulettes were rendered according to interpretation of pics on The Aerodrome thread.
A grey-silver mix with gold drybrushed Uhlan 'A' :

Wet snow gets sloppier with wicked in gloss clear:

And the boot laces come up nicely with drybrushing as well:

Moving steadily to an end.
