Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! Amongst other projects, here is a 1790’s Royal Navy midshipman’s coat I have made.

A few of the guys and I put on a Georgian banquet this month as part of a training weekend. Great spread!
Charity shop find of the day.
A blue and white porcelain tea bowl.
It’s not 100% right but it will make for a lovely piece for my coffee house.
I’ve just painted this large white bowl with a Delft style design of around the 1770’s.
It will serve as a punch bowl in my coffee house.
Currently looking at a few silver ladles on eBay which would finish this set off beautifully.
Your Servant,
Mr. Radford
I’ve been busy!
A 1780’s frock coat of beautiful dove grey wool.
The bulk of the coat is now complete and I’m just working on the adornments like these death head buttons.

I recently painted up these cheap porcelain tea bowls, from eBay.
They’ll make a nice addition to the display.
Hoping to paint something bigger, maybe a punch bowl.
