    Thanks for concern ...lol......no actual medals on bust but I reworked the cast ribbon bar so he has 2 ribbons and a MID ( mentioned in dispatches ) laurel leaf , ribbons are DSO and Africa Army Star with Service in 8th Army (tiny '8' on ribbon ....on full medal below it's the bar )

    Ribbons are first and 3rd from the left as you look in full set picture

    He's wearing these here

    IMG_8735.JPG

    All his medals ..... IMG_8736.JPG

    Currently finished the torso on the bust ..today it's the flesh on the one bound for Belgium .....all being well

    Have fun
