A little progress

After wiping off the face four or five times I'm moving on to Spayd's uniform. There are only two images of Henry Spayd that I've seen. The first is a wartime image of Spayd in uniform. The other is a three quarter portrait of Spayed as an aged veteran on a G.A.R (Grand Army of the Republic) medal. Getting Spayd's likeness is really important so I'll come back to it later when the task is a little more fresh. I did manage to get some paint on the frock and blanket roll. I'm going to darken the coat in a few places once the paint has dried for a few days.
