D-DAY MS 1/35 WRNS despatch rider in progress

[Pavka]

Hello,
I want to show you the next figure I am sculpting in 1/35 scale. It is WRNS despatch rider for Bronco triumph motorcycle. I noted that a duffle coat was very huge on pictures, it's especially visible on girls, so I am still trying to represent this on the figure, not so easy.
I've got a problem with the details of WRNS peaked cap, I mean the cap with the HMS letters, I can not find good pictures in Internet and books I have. So I would like to ask you, maybe someone has got good pictures of this cap, Please help!
Cheers
Pawel

A re-enactment out-fitters has this offering:-

Or you can cover up the front with goggles, as shown in the following picture, which come from Osprey Men-at-Arms No. 357 (World War II Allied Women’s Service), plate A1 showing a WRNS despatch rider, Portsmouth Naval Base, February 1941.





Cheers,

Wonderful job!

 

[Pavka]

Thank you very much but I thought about this cap, the same as in Andrew's link



Btw: Piotrze it is Miliput standard

You could always put the goggles on the cap - that cuts the research down a bit.

Thanks a lot yes I know I can cover it by goggles, but I would like to put them on her neck. Yeah Mr.Ishii's figures are great. As I said the huge duffel coat is difficult to sculpt for me in such sitting position and the front of the figure seemed to be a little too square and massive I just cut it off and start to sculpt this part from the beginning.
.... and if someone has some pictures of these WRNS despatch rider's peaked cap, please put it here
