If you were too scared to post your work in 2010 you certainly don't have to be now. This is outstanding work! Excellent attention to detail and great overall finish. Quite stunning.

Stupendous work Craig!
As for being intimidated to post, ya gotta look at this as a competition against yourself, not the other modelers, which is why I call it a Sport of "sniffin paint and gluin your fingers together".
As the Sarge always says, "Post em if ya got em", lol.
Great work buddy. Cheers, Ski.
P.S. Hey Craig, you're not sandbagging us are ya? Lol, just kiddin

Beautifully painted - Ive been tempted by this myself.
Please dont take this as a criticism of you work, but weren't there stripes on both arms, or is it like that on the sculpt?

Hi all,
again thankyou for the kind comments, ill enter him in fotm.
Valiant, I did notice at the start that there was only one stripe on the right arm and was using the historie and collections D-Day paratroopers book for reference. the picture on the front cover was the main picture id used and could only see one corporal stripe, so read up in the insignia section where it stated that only one was worn on the dension smock by the para's but the glider troops wore two ? so went with just the one produced on the figure. but that's not saying it's totally correct, maybe there's another reference that states something different.

You pulled this one off well Craig, excellent work all round, can't wait to see some more of what you have done.
You are correct regarding rank insignia, was only worn on right arm of Denison smock along with wings.

Hi Wayne,
I'm not sure ! it's a digital sculpt which you can purchase in a range of scales from Gordon Mitchell, he sells via email and also has an ebay page.
Id picked up the 120mm version in September last year, then went to scalemodel world and Gordon had the 200mm version so could not resist.
