After finding pics of Brit WW1 issue gas masks on the internet, I decided to do a little modification. A little scraping, filing, drilling, some lead sheet, bit of sprue, wire and putty, and ended up like this.

That is quite superb. Interesting that the club in his right hand is very similar to the mace I did for my XIIth century knight. It just shows that when fighting gets up close and personal, the weapons available often revert to the very basic.

Hi Guys
No problem ..these things happen !! ....he said gritting his teeth..lol
Verbal update on The "I'll be home soon son"
He now has a helmet ( chinstrap added ) fitted onto the back pack
As well as a wedding ring !
The boy has socks that are coming down !
Still to do the catapult in his pocket ...boys will be boys !!
Currently also adding a hat similar to this
( No this is not my mate Jimbo )
Waiting patiently for the putty to go off and position t he brim right ...then sand and add crown and fit to back of head .
The sailor suit will be white with blue details
Thanks for looking in

Looks outstanding Joe, like subtle weathering & nice touch with number on gas mask.
Look forward to seeing further shots on this one.

Bit of a poor piccy update on the rework
Reworked and eyebrows on both heads
Helmet now in place
Catapult now in the lads pocket ...took 6 attempts !! All will become clearer when painted ..doesn't really show well in PC...but it's there !
Socks on legs ......
Put cap onto the lads head ..quite pleased with that ...will paint the textures on it
Cue pics
Nap
