    Hello Folks

    The senior service seems to be not as prolific in our hobby as the land forces and with this in mind I have just completed a new project with a Royal Navy theme.

    The orginal bust in 1/9th was sculpted by Pavol Ovecka who came up with the idea based on a Falklands memorial print. It depicts a Royal Navy sailor in the reverese arms position from HMS Clyde.
    Mike Wilkinson has converted the original bust into a full figure version. The headgear shows HMS Clyde on the band which can be altered by the modeller to represent other Royal Navy vessels. A resin casting of the South Atlantic medal is included.
    I hope to have castings available in a week or so and if anyone is intersted in pre ordering please email only on gordonmi@hotmail.com
    Prices;
    Bust £35.00 + shipping
    Full figure 60.00 + shipping
    Shipping;
    UK £4.50
    Europe £9.00
    Everywhere else £14.00
    Cheers

    Looking forwards to painting this. I also did a 'Lest We Forget' base for other conflicts.

    I've just realised that because he has a reversed SLR, his medals as shown on the coloured illustration are wrong. He should not have the Afghanistan and Diamond Jubillee medals but the GSM and Falklands Medals.

    You obviously sculpted using the picture shown here , not that difficult to sort out IMO

    Just a thought are the badges suitable as well ?

    Nice bust and full figure though
