    This is now under the brushes , working on it (fleshwork) before I go mad packing boxes to move ...I need the taste of Acrylics!!!!! ..still a great sculpt .

    The epaulette flash is an interesting subject , Steve has quoted the Corps colours but I have a feeling that each Regt had individual colours ..perhaps others might shed some light on this thought ??

    In 1918 these were the colours for the 26 Bn's (Ref Regiment magazine)

    [IMG]

    I think nowadays they were individual coloured lanyards ..thats if the government hasn't reduced the forces again!!!!

    Hope to see more on this from Steve as well .

    Sorry Kev perhaps I muddied the waters here those are the colours of 1 RTR ( and any other Royal Tank Regt) the tankies come under the Armoured Corp now a days as they did during WWII etc. They only wear a black (I think) lanyard on detached duties unlike a lot of Regts/Corps which wear them as the norm. Hope this clarifies it a bit. Looking forward to see your work on this one mate

    First fully finished version based and name plated, bit disappointed with the name plate appears my printer isn't man enough for the job in this case. Ignore the dust it must have been a bit close to some drilling I was doing :facepalm: As always any comments welcome
