Steve - thanks.
Andy used pie dish foil for blanket.
I painted texture on it.
Also thank you to everyone who has commented & offered support here.
Enjoy these projects, helping Andy realise his vision. Two more little guys - “Harry & Bob” on bench at present.

Fantastic Andy and nice to see you pegless at last.

Wow, that's great news Andy. I'm sure all of that hard work is going to make for a stunning book. Can't wait to see it.

Well done Andy and Mike.
Hope the book is a success .You've put so much effort into this.

Mike Butler has pasted some of his 1:32 scale skin and cloth onto another of my figures!
This is an officer who accompanies my Lewis gunner. Harry Patch was No 2 in a Lewis gun team, so we've called him "Harry". There are no records that I could find of his officer, so this guy was named after his No1 and friend Bob. THANKS Mike!! Can't wait to put them in the Reversed trench! ("Harry" is coming on beautifully!)

Wow!!!!

Agree with Peter.
How about this for a 54mm figure!!!
Mike Butler has excelled himself with the work he has done on this conversion from Tommy's War's Lewis gunner. He was given a Hornet head and his arms were re-positioned by me. He has a new Lewis made by Kellerkind and his gas mask hose revealed. Mike had to rebuild him as he didn't travel to NZ well! Mike also enhanced him, as he does, carving into sleeves and adding shirts etc. He gave his Brodie a cloth cover and helmet liner.
We have called him Harry after Harry Patch who was a No.2 in a Lewis team, so he has badges for the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. He will go on my reversed trench model, along with 'Bob', the officer with the folding periscope.
They now have to make the journey back to Blighty, so your prayers would be valued.
THANKS is not enough Mike. To say working with you is a pleasure is an understatement.
