Completed From Putty to a Piper

Looks workable Kev, maybe drop them a bit lower on the chest as well. As the plaid pin is only secured by the pin the edge of the medal ribbon could sit under it slightly. Is it a case of the old saying "here's your medal now go get a chest to pin ot on".

Cheers Simon

Cheers for the idea ...going to lower them so they sit half way between the top two buttons

Stay tuned

seems to have lost a post. try No2. Also you could think about placing the tara pin a tad higher and to the right.

Hi Mick

Not sure what you mean ref post ?

Think I will move the Tara pin as you suggested , that should give me room to put medals where I want ....fingers crossed

Thanks for idea

Hi Folks

Quick piccy update .......a lot of tidying up , levels needed then the details put in including the star of course

Any thoughts welcome

Looks good Kev.
Maybe a little picky but are the medals to close to the button, can you move a tad over with the pin just covering the top corner of the medal ribbon?

All suggestions welcome

The repositioning suggested by Mick is good, they look like they belong there now. I like how you are building them up in stages, a very sensible approach. I am guessing you're not going to have this finished in time for Bugle Call, no point in rushing it but I would love to see it.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Simon .....I always build medals up in stages ...bit fiddly but hopefully worth it

Would be nice to have ready but definately the 2025 show !

Thanks for looking in ....more updates on medals as I can

Hi to all

Medals now in final position , shaping of star ....still to be detailed a lot more ( crossed swords and laurel ) , attachments added on all...time to let it fully dry , then add detail to the rounded ones

Once all done and painted will add a flash of colour from each ribbon

All comments welcome

Looking great , Kev, loving the attention to detail.
I assume you will leave them off while you paint the plaid underneath....?
Oh, no need, it's plain orange

He is an Royal Inniskilling Fusilier So no plaid, no saffron, but French Grey. It will have a tad of Saffron on the kilt.
