  1. Love those details. Makes a display so much better.
  2. Another great restauration. Well done to those involved.
  3. Nice, amazing what can be done nowadays. When I was young in the stone-age we had to use ocre and the tail of a sabretooth tiger as a brush.
  4. After buying the British painted steel book and having walked in Arromanches on June 6th as a RAMC member I got inspired to make some more British helmets. The shells are postwar and were given a coarse structure with a few brushed on and a few with a even coverage. The markings and camouflage patterns were hand painted. What do you think of these?
  5. I would avoid pressure wash to get salt out. probably best to let it soak in fresh water and rinsing. Pressure wash could push salt water deeper or am I mistaken? Hopefully the Jeep and Dodge didn't suffer too much from its swim.
  6. Just a post to thank James and Amdy (IIRC) for allowing me on board of their Ford Lynx on Arromanche beach. Also a big thanks to Mark for the ride in his bren carrier! You guys are amazing!
  7. Ah come on....don't leave us hanging like that... What happened? -Meteor strike -Flooding -The Fluffy Duckling apocalypse?
  8. Again amazed by the workmanship in creating this. Hopefully I'll see it driving some day, would love to see and hear it..
  9. Pictures are allways welcome. It gives a better idea of the work involved.
  10. I remember meeting him at A&E. He brought a model Sherman he made himself out of metal IIRC. It was a honour meeting him and being able to talk. Rest in peace and my condoleances to all.
  11. Hi Gerlof Its best to ask this in the Pre WW2 category.
  12. Amazing items. Especially the jacket. How did it survive the decades and moths?
  13. Being a Dutchman I am saddened I can't sign. Especially since I know BEF veteran and Dunkirk evacuee Jeff Haward MM personally and have transported him at a Dutch commemoration in the Dodge.
  14. Being a hobby helmet restorer myself I must admit you're donig a good job there.
  15. I like those led lights. What a difference that must make.
  16. Well done on the progress. Hopefully things will speed up now.
  17. So, HOW did you make it, looks great.
  18. I once painted the canvas top of a Jeep with NATO paint IIRC. Seemed to work fine without cracking or other problems.
  19. Good to hear it wasn't the worst case scenario.
  20. Amazing project. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.
