Do you mean his life jacket?, thats only the base colour, so has a lot of work still to be done on it.

See what you mean, will give it a wash with some brown, to tone down the green, must have about 20 images of the immersion suit and on not one do they look the same , stupid Goonie suits!

 

[Steve Brodie]

Looking better now, thanks for the advice Nap;

 

[Steve Brodie]

Immersion suit and life jacket finished.
Still to do;
a) connect hose to face mask and hardware
b) attach face mask clips onto helmet.
c) make face mask clips

Then start on the base.

Hi Steve

Happy benchtime

[Steve Brodie]

"....... You got anything planned fir the vase ?"
Assume you mean the base , if so, yes; at the beginning of the thread, going to build a 1/144 SHAR, cut away the tail and mount on the plinth, with some 'clouds' disguising the rear of the jet. Well thats the plan

Been working away on getting the 1/144 Sea Harrier built, just neeed a bit of filler so not bad for kit that dates back to the 80's, Will need painting and decals adding, then the canopy, which will be painted to reflect clouds (I hope).



Replacement P-Mask clip was kindly sent from Ross, as one had snapped;



Clasp made from 15amp fuse wire and milliput;

Looking good, nice to see you adding the little details, its things like that that make a great model 'pop'. Looking forward to see the base.

 

[Nap]

Hi Steve

As Henk says "it's the little details" .....great idea as well to add the plane

Hope your adding Sharky to the cockpit ? !

Look forward to seeing more on this

Happy benchtime

No figure provided for the cockpit ( in the kit) and to get one , none in the uk, would have cost over £30!, but cant leave the seat empty, hence my idea to paint the glass as if reflected clouds and sky, lol.
