WIP Running to the Anti Aircraft Searchlights - Female Auxillary WW2

[Nap]

Hi Guys ,

On the bench ...an original sculpt from my long suffering mate Jimbo (using a UP miniatures head) ...only been in the GA for a "few" years !!!!!

Originally going to be a WRAP Cpl but I have changed the formation sign (well will do !!!) ...she has her jimjams still on after her rude awaking curtesy of a bombing raid running to light up the sky with her search lights .

Thanks for looking

Hi Guys ,

Been progressing with "Gloria" ..named her now!!!! we had a painting day yesterday so worked on the pyjama's ...I will post pictures later in the meantime here are a couple of pictures (wish mine had the goggles on!!!) I found about the Searchlight units (the 93rd were an all female unit) ...brave women indeed .

Thanks for looking in

Kev great idea for a bust and I too like the goggles, perhaps Jim could add a pair on the top of the helmet ?.

Cheers Ken

James .........You are in detention ...4 hours of putty pushing and no brushes for you young man.............

Fear not I have not referenced anything ....YET!!!!!!!

Nap ...cuddly and nice bloke ...honest guys

 

[Helm]

Jim could always just extend the left arm and add the hand holding the goggles there

[Jimbo]

Hi Guys ,

You lot are full of great ideas ...extend the arm ......Mmmmmm like that one

Anyway as promised here is a pic of where Gloria was at 3 hours ago

............have since worked hard on the face and the jim jams base colour on the helmet (might do a painted camo version ?) ...getting there now ..but boy the eyes were a pain as the upper eylids are massive ...I think to give her long eyelashes ...not for me though!!!!

Thanks for looking in folks
