    I knew you'd be after a glengarry Tom. Moz is looking at that and a TOS version for the future and I will keep you posted but no timescale yet.

    What other regiments are you doing in this scale?
  6. Carl Edward Sambrook Active Member

    Grod how long before you have a Green Howards Capbadge ? that was the unit I deployed with and would prefer having that one.

    Royal Marines is next on the list Ade and I will be looking at others who served in Ulster. It's surprising just how many more regiments there were in this period than exist now.

    Grod thank you very much, I know I would regret not ordering a Green Howard, I'll post a picture of the bust on their FB page to see what the reaction is and I'll let you know.

    27th Mobile Bath tub unit who patrolled the dark and dangerous streets behind the NAAFI at Aldergove. A fine and often overlooked unit....

    I already have a couple of orders for UDR so that one is in hand mate. I know some units were not allowed to serve there including Irish Guards.I also have some cavalry regiments who served in the infantry role.

    It's a sad statement that there are less regiments and units around and in existence than there were then.

    I'd also put forward the Argyll and Sutherlanders please.

    Also a Gurkha in this size - maybe from the Falklands?

    Adrian the Army has changed beyond recognition since I left 9 years ago, and so many Regiments have now been disbanded over the last 3 years, I'm glad I served when I did and had a fantastic time.

    I think it is the saddest thing - I know that the army through economics has to make cuts but to disband regiments - names that have a proud part in history - is a sad loss. Through figures - certainly the ones that Grod and MMM produce we can pay tribute but I feel that these names should still be alive and remembered under blanket regiments if you like.

    My daughter has her selections this week she is aiming to be a CMT - I hope she has a fantastic time - she is looking forward to it she has the right mentality.

    Morning Gordon.

    As sculptors and manufacturers you have been psuhing the scales of figures upwards for some time now, it's been a brave and succesful move, for which I thank you and all the sculptors.

    That being said:-
    May I ask you to evaluate the possibility of producing a british army capbadge series as an item init's own right.
    If all regiments were available in 1/6th or 1/9th scale they would I'm sure be popular even just as a presentation piece.

    I can see them painted and displayed in miniature being as popular as the original badges we wore have always been
    in frames as collectable items.

    I sure she'll be fine, tell her to give 100%, ALWAYS keep her sense of humour, and what I found to help is be noticed for the right reasons, and not the wrong ones. Not everyone is a sportsman but I was more impressed when I saw somebody who was'nt giving their all than a person who was above average fittness just coasting.

    Luckily she is a bit sporty but she's a sprinter and needs to learn stamina - she has determination so that is on her side. And she has a love for the military sense of humor - already she has impressed the personnel on her PDA with her attitude. They were quite impressed as she put a few of the other candidates in their place - she doesn't suffer fools gladly!
