    He has come out a treat Geoff.
    What colours did you use for the tunic. It looks a tad light for khaki??

    Sorry mate that's a great ref but I was looking at the officer sat on ground cross legged at the front middle...he has a "undress" cap on .....I presume the top is the uniform colour ( beige/Kharki) with perhaps a design on top ,the lower part would I think be the regimental lace pattern ?

    My plan is to remove the helmet and use on base and put the other cap on him

    Nap - the forage cap looks like an unofficial version - I cant find any reference to one being issued, but maybe either a private purchase or locally sourced(y)
