Hi Kev, what about a civvy gas mask box to mount them on? Complete with the bit of string...... Ive got one amongst my souvenirs, if you need refs

That gas mask box is one thing that links them all, top idea.
Scotty.

My kids are over at my parents at the moment, so Ill ask son and heir to do the honours, as its in their loft! - Will post later

Got this to be going on with

Hi Kev - the kids have landed armed with 6 bottles of Old Speckled Hen....oh, and some photos! The dimensions of the box are 7" length, 5 1/4" width and 4" deep, approx. made from brown cardboard, with holes for the string!

Hope these are OK,

I think the gas mask box is a great idea Steve.

Paul.

Why, thank you sir - I do my best!!

Kev - there's even this..............http://www.nothefort.org.uk/images/Pdf_files/evac_gas_mask_and_label.pdf

I also like your potted trees growing outside the window for future model bases......clever that mate..... clever.

Not mine, mate, sadly - thats my Old Man's garden - ours has a more "natural" look!

Maybe......
but you have thought of it though....haven't you

Hi Kev.
I hope you dont mind But a couple of points. The Collar Number would have only been thre numerals ie, 493. and the same number would appear on the helmet plate with the Divisional letter ie E would be above the middle numeral. I would keep it safe with either A or E as something i9n the back of my mind is saying that there is No B div as the nick got bombed.? will stand corrected.
I have to say the face is cracking

Hi all
Just to put the record straight,the helmet & badge is mine but I did not sculpt the face, it's a Carl Reid piece, spare Steve McQueen head, this bust will not be used or sold commercially, it's just for Kev to paint, drool & drop biscuit crumbs over lol

Mick
Thanks for your very useful input but regarding the numbers on the collar, I was going by the photo posted earlier in this thread, the numbers being 178 with a C after the 8, I've sculpted on the collar of the bust as 151C......so I'm a little confused regarding the division letter "C" was on the collar or not?
Cheers
Jim

Well the historical details, although valuable, are a bit too British for me to follow.Judging as an amateur sculptor I must say that this is a very detailed and accurate sculpt.Would love to see this finished.

Wowser,

Great stuff that loads of character there already.

Paul

Lovely work Jim.
Must admit, the face did look a tad familiar.

Cheers,
Andrew
