Are you doing the slouch hat Rob, and if I wait till I see you at Euro will you still have this one available?

Don
 
Always a pleasure to deal with you Rob. Look forward to seeing your painting of this peice.
Humbrols seem to be out of fashion these days but you have mastered this hard technique very well!:)
 
Thanks everyone again, I hav'nt yet completed the slouch hat but its nearly there. Busy trying to to paint him and will post a progress picture soon.
Hi Don, although I hav'nt a stand at Euro my new figures will be available from the Victory Miniatures stand.

Rob
 
A shame not to see you at Euro, perhaps they'd do a last minute deal. How about a pith helmet as well as a slouch hat?

    Wonderful figure Rob, I really like this one.With rifle on his shoulder and a slouch hat, hard to beat. When will it be available and how about the slouch hat.
    Looking forward to seeing him painted.

Do you mean a pose like this:

WW1 Tommy.jpg,
or with rifle slung as in the original posting?

Happy modelling,

Mike
 
Rob, looking very good so far, will be watching your progress carefully. Very nice figure.

Mike A weapon on your shoulder to me means a slung weapon. We were never taught nor allowed to shove it across the shoulder. Only a few ways to carry a weapon apart from parade ground use. In the field it could be slung or more likely a normal left hand carry, or right hand carry with weapon ready at all times.............

I have seen a couple of photographs of WW1 infantry marching with their weapons as shown. I assume they were not within range of the enemy.

Best wishes,

Mike
