This is how l spent my 10 days off work! A massive thanks to big Marc at stormtroopers, if you hadn't discounted this at Folkestone for me I might never of bought and painted it!
I hope I've done it justice.

Beautifull work on the backdrop.
For my taste the khaki is to green.

Cheers Ken, I didn't actually mean to build a background for this one, I just got carried away! Haha..

Thanks for all the kind words fellas, it's always nice to read you like what I'm putting up here.

Nice result, John - some nice work in that. Just one observation, though, radio was still in its infancy in the First World War and it wasn't used for military communications. It was telegraphs, telephones, pigeons and semaphore!

Sorry to be Mr Pendantic!

Cheers mate, I know it's a field telephone connected via 2 copper wires and a battery that rings when the current is increased by turning a handle, later replaced by a ring button. The title of the post was just for effect, it's not the title of the bust itself.
Thanks for the reply
