Thank you for your reply Mr. Rutman, I am using a bridal material for this but my application method seems to comes out messy, could you describe how you applied the veil material to your helmets, thank you very much.

Glue the material on the inside of the helmet.

Now why didn’t I think of that! thanks.
I attach it first on the outside top of the helmet with a spot of glue. That keeps it stable when dry. Then I stretch it over the rim and glue it underneath on the inside at opposite sides and work around the perimeter until all is attached. It takes a while for each helmet.

Very interesting start, Jerry.

Thank you Sir!
Happy you enjoyed it.

Stuck together a Sergeant Major figure for a new scene. Main components are from the new excellent MB set of Commonwealth troops in NW Europe.
I had to remove the straps for the small pack and then sculpted the holster and compass pouches. Gave him a Guardsmen mustache as well.

Looks brilliant, Jerry
Thank you Sir!

Jerry, just got to point out that the rank shown - ie 3 chevrons with crown above is that of a Colour Sergeant (Staff Sergeant if not Infantry) not a Sergeant Major.
A Sergeant Major would be a Warrant Officer Class 2, and at that time this rank was shown by use of a (normally brass) King’s Crown badge on the lower sleeve/forearm.
Not to carp as it’s an excellent figure - but just to add(!)

Thanks Brian,
Got that sussed out just now on FB. I will now just call him a staff sergeant as he is from an AT unit.
Hope that fits ? Easy fix if not but I am in a deadline time hack here.

Should be fine Jerry as long as he’s Royal Artillery; I believe the Infantry Battalions had their own integral 6 Pounder A/T guns as well which all muddies the issue a bit! Of course, if RA then Arm of Service stripe is blue and red; shoulder title red lettering on blue - but I’m sure you’re on that.
Good luck.

Yeah I think I will just go with an Infantry Sergeant. I was thinking an older long service guy and that would fit the SGM better but I am getting a headache concerning these ranks and badges again. LoL
