Thank you to whoever posted the Red Jackal vs Destro post for the inspiration to do this custom. After looking at the post I thought I would read the Red Jackal story after not reading it since a kid and from it came the idea to do this.

Thanks guys. The head is a Black Major one cut down and filed. The tassle is made from putty and scored with a scalpel.

HAHAHA! Indeed. You know, Tommy Cooper was a Guardsman, had the bearing (and requisite height). Russians imitated the same institution (but even taller spec), and if memory serves me right from BAF and the ID card :nobokov: was ГВАРДИЯ too, via СПЕТСНАЗ / ДЕСАНТ.

A nice post-Cold War correlation if ever there was one.

:quick:

PS. For anyone missing Tommy, here's some of him on Stella Street. Think this scene was cut from the movie tho :-( Shame, esp. as Richard Burton would have been a great :major:

Very nice work indeed.

Didn't Tommy Cooper acquire the Fez during a middle east posting? I seem to remember there being a story behind it..

It's a shme Palitoy didn't make :skyraider: cap in red, I think it would of made a nice alternative :enemy: head gear..like the German M1943 field cap, a possible custom? using a standard :breaker: head & :shadow: body?
