Great work, Carlos! On the first figure on the left is he wearing a scarf around his neck? In photos I have seen I believe this is a scarf... or neckerchief?
Make more models!

Lyle and John, Thank you. The washes are bringing out all of the fine detail so that should help me for the final detail painting.
