Hi everyone

Thought I'd get this classic IMO on the bench which I reviewed on release here

I have replaced the cast chain with a real one , all based up and now basecoated

Looking now at the medal ribbons ......contemplating adding more as in this

Bit of a. Iffyvision update

All basecoated , new medal ribbons added to just below collar plus relevant insignia including 2 mention in despatches , rosette and the 8th Army number .....painting will hopefully bring details out !

Next will be the flesh then probably the ribbons , then shirt collar, tie and battle dress then sheepskin collar , then leather jkt

All comments welcome !

Off for a coffee ..or two !

Howdy Kevin!

Like what you have going on there. So far so good (y)!

I am curious about the chain that goes from one breast pocket to the other. Have you found out what that is for?

Thanks Joe , I think the chain is for a watch but not 100% ......perhaps someone else might have a suggestion

Looking good so far..


Cheers Warren...repainted the battledress , shirt, tie, all finished , gorget patch done

Will do badges next , I've added the lion on top the crown , painting will define !

Pics to follow
