Hi to all ,

Also on the bench ...and looking so much better than these pics!!!!!! ...a sculpt by Fex for MMM .....some area's are a little rough but rugged .....an interesting character who was full of controversy ..a soldiers soldier and a leader of men from the front

The flesh tones look so much better in the flesh so to speak ...eyes to be done !!!...finished the glengarry now as well ...just the badge to do in NMM , then the graying hair , then the uniform colour ( a very dark green)the collar dogs and the epaulettes ..all NMM as well ...then the medals ....only 7 to do ...and a MID ...will really come together once the epaulettes are done ...hopefully .

More updates soon

Thanks for looking in

Hi Guys ,

Here is a couple of pics showing(hopefully) the ribbons and the medals ....had to repaint the British Korea medal as I had the colour wrong (3rd from the right) ......noticed after I finished ......its my age you know !!!!!

Onwards and upwards to the badge now and epaulettes and buttons and eyes !!!!

Then a final check ...will it be finished for the Poole show ..I doubt it !!!!

Thanks for looking in

Nice job and a difficult sculpt by Fex. Mitchell has an unusual face with very very strong features. Reminds me a bit of a Thunderbirds puppet. Scott Tracy? The real man, not your model.

Hi Guys ,

Just a quick update ...epaulettes nearly finished ...the pip and crown still to do and of course the buttons, collar badges and the cap badge and backing.............

Thanks for looking
