If you hadn't said I'd never have known. You can't tell from the pictures, it's an excellent customisation.
Really like the overall idea too.

Yeah SAC is Senior Aircraftsman. TCW stands for Tactical Communications Unit which was the last unit I served in before I left. The weapon is an SA 80 from Marauders. It has a SUSAT site on top which mine did'nt but I did'nt want to butcher it.
Really appreciate all the great comments guys.
Ironblood if you have a picture of your Grandad in his uniform or any soldier from that regiment post it on here and maybe I and some of the others may come up with some ideas.

Maybe a casting of the Desert Rat torso will be the way forward for all of us immortalise I Grandfathers etc in uniform. I wamt to make one of my Great Grandfather (Sid's father) in his WWI Middlesex reg uniform as well. For this though I need a Aussie jungle fighters left leg and Desert rat torso.
