Here are a few of the completed soldiers

The pair with white faces have wood stained coats and acrylic faces

The pair with one white face are painted with acrylic paint with the wooden faced soldier having been stained with White Ash, these have also had the pyrographed hats rubbed down with gold acrylic (which I call gold dusting)

And the pair with the wooden faces are painted with acrylic paint, the faces being White Ash and the slightly darker completion being Antique Pine

The only thing I have left to do on these is to add hooks so they can be hung on a tree and seal them.

What do you think? Do you have a favourite?

These are both unfinished, but which design do you like best for these Christmas soldiers?

I'm planning on giving them both red coats but I'm interested to know which coat design grabs people more
