"I've had an idea" ...Nap and Jimbo presents....

[mick3272]

Hi Jim,
I must be going blind I didn't notice the second picture. On the first Pic I thought the C looked like a 6 making it a 4 fig number.
The numbers should be from left to right C 151 151 C Like a pair of collar dogs in the army.

If you zoom in on the Police officer receiving the Colour you can see the numbers, although dated 1959 the tunic did not change.
Just one other point, the whistle chaine would be brass.

I like the Beefeaters.Does anybody know if there has ever been a 54mm figure depicting a Beefeater?

Oda.

 

[Scotty]

I think Airfix did a beefeater but it was big 1/12 maybe? There must be others surely.

 

[Oda]

I remember the one by Airfix.A little too large in scale for me though.Thank you Scotty.

Oda.

Hi Guys ,

He's only gone and done the Offcer of the law...great job Jimbo

( for those of a delicate disposition be aware pictures taken by Jimbo in his underpants ...yes he is home alone! )

That really is excellent work, the bag and cutoff helmet look great. Lovely tunic too.

It is that Scotty ...will be adding Sgt stripes to him as well once I have the correct pictures ...I think they were a lot thinner than normal army stripes .......unless Jimbo gets there first..lol

[Jimbo]

Kev...Ooops!... forgot the Sgt stripes!...a job for the morning.
Cheers

Hi Guys ,

Thanks for the comments .......a really great job on this .....like the chain on the whistle , you would never know the original head source ...

And well...that helmet ....


Now I reckon it's a very very dark black blue for the uniform with that flash of colour of the red and white armband ...brass buttons, numbers , the helmets going to have "POLICE" on it ....looking forward to this

Treat yourself to changing the underpants before Friday James..lol

Looking good lads, getting there.

That looks fantastic, great work Jim.
Incidentally when I was about 14 I had one of the tin hats with Police painted on the front. The liner was missing but other than that it wasn't in bad condition.
I found it in a disused quarry in the village which was used as a dump for all kinds of interesting stuff for a 14 year old before the invention of smart phones etc.

 

[Oda]

This is absolutely fantastic!

Oda.

 

[Nap]

This is absolutely fantastic!

Oda.

He's a clever lad eh!!! might let him have a biscuit....if he is good on Wednesday when we have a day modelling!!

That looks fantastic, great work Jim.

can't disagree there just hope I can do it justice ....hey bit of a play on words there ...lol...

The helmet will have the word police on it maybe with cheverons above

Jimbo

Not a good idea, Nap will probably get you the chocolate chip variety.

This is a nice idea for someone to steal Jim's skills and then claim all the glory with a slap of paint.
Poor Jim with all this overtime, I don't know why you don't send him up chimneys like a Dickensian child for goodness sake.
I just love the subtle manner of influence on you the Planet jury by the said Kev 'the crumb' Peart, AKA the notorious Digestive diverter.
With known form as a figgy bic fence, the shameful implication is made that it was poor old overworked downtrodden Jimbo , AKA 'Fingers Evans' that was the biscuit nobbler of the Parish.
Shame on you, Nap, you know that Mrs Evans put mouse traps in the kitchen cupboards to slow you down
