    Here is my version of Gordon's Sailor (https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/1-9th-royal-navy-falklands-pavol-ovecka-mike-wilkinson.299205/). The figure is modelled on a sailor from HMS Clyde who is bearing a reversed SLR rather than an SA 80, on a visit to the Falklands in 2014 ( https://www.facebook.com/royalnavy/...thers-of-the-falkland-isla/10152498125318205/).

    Yet another lovely base from Richard at Oakwood. The plaque was made with Slaters model railway letters on plasticard, sprayed black.

    Hi Mike

    Nice to see your painting on the full figure , looks impressive and a great tribute

    All that uniform colour must have been a challenge , good work on the badges as well

    Why not enter in the class of your choice in the new FOTM as well as voting in the previous month , also there is Vignette & Diorama comp ...see link at top of page

    Always good to see your artwork

    Thanks for sharing

    Look forward to seeing the next

    Happy benchtime
