Many thanks for the comments especially Jason being a ex marine .......I’m rather glad he has the cap on otherwise that could have meant 3” ."in scale !

Stay tuned , all ribbons and rank badges complete

Next will be the buttons and actual medals

Nice work. This isn't the greatest of sculpts, the details on those buttons and medals looks pretty vague. But you are doing a great job so far!

Thanks Nigel , your right it’s not the best compared to today’s stuff , this must be over 20 years ago ,I will try to hint at the details on buttons and medals ...hopefully

Update: I have sanded flat the actual medals ready for painting the design ...fingers crossed !
