Hi,
:-D Thanks Mark ...it's an arm band, I could never paint one that good :-( , it's just a photocopy from a Actionman guide book thats been cut out & stuck in place.I been thinking of doing this for some time now, the whole thing only took around 10 min's in my lunch break.

Go for it Mark..it's way easier than trying to paint lettering that small! I'm also thinking of doing a M.P. as well, using the same idea..maybe using :major: 's head?

Very snazzy!, it reminds me of the time when I did it for real.

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! -Conan the Cimmerian

Thanks, that means a lot to me..I've never served in the forces myself but I've got the upmost respect for anyone who has.

No problem, what I would suggest though, is that the Beret badge should be white, but as I said, I like it, 2 thumbs up

Cheers Bill I "borrowed" a pot (aswell as the works copier :. ) from the shops Art dept' this lunch time, not sure of the make but the range is called Anita's Acrylics,the colour's their mid blue & it worked really well I thought I layered it it too thickly as it was a really uneven & had a "bobbly" surface..but whithin about 5 min's it had dried to a perfect flat finish :-)

:. The pot is now safely sitting back on the shelf (minus a small brushfull or two ;-) )& ready for sale..
