Hi Colin,

I love the segmented work, I just can't get my head around how you would glue that up. Good stuff.

Hi como
If you look at the second pics and think of it as square, it should be easier to see.

Yep, it does look a bit clearer, still looks amazing though. I think I might have a go at something segmented when I get a bit of time to play :roll: :roll:

Simon :roll:
You have not got it wrong if you think about it, if left in the hands of a baby that is just what it would be ( hopefully not with this one ) (hammer)[-o<

Hi all
Its me again
Can some one tell me which army cap badge this is ( sorry no prizes :roll: )

 

[Colin C]

It has some way to go to be finished and it will be painted to

Royal Green Jackets? Nice laurels and crown, Colin. =D>

Cheers, Alf

 

[Colin C]

Thats not fare [-( [-(
That was quick and hopefully soon :roll: I will get it finished and painted, which does make a big difference

 

[Colin C]

You cant see it in the big pic but it will have navel crown at the bottom to, plus the bugle in the middle too.
Not sure if I am look forward to doing all the battle honors again ](*,)
This is my second one

 

[Alf]

Sorry, Colin - I have a hopeless search engine addiction and just have to know

I confess, I have zero idea why an army badge would have a naval crown - care to educate me? Now a RM globe and laurel, that'd be a fun one to carve I reckon.

Cheers, Alf

You should not let any RM know but we ( Green Jackets ) where one of the first marine type soldiers, with the light foot in 1809 Copenhagen, if I have my dates right
I was in the TA for over 7 years and we have a very long history as one of the oldest regiments still going
Ps I have thought about doing the RM cap bagde at some time and still might one day :roll: :wink:
