Bodge Deep

Yep mine I'm afraid :-D

copy away... that's what its there for

Hey Jack Whats the wages like? & do we get a uniform and a badge :whistle:

a delivery crate for the jeep :dunno:

Well my next question was gonna be...

Got a 100BG patch for sale?

Oh and a 351st Sqn?

& How much

I know my limits :-D

& for the love of god don't give Jack chocolate or anything sugary, he'll be bouncing off the walls... bless :-D

this one! ;-)

This guy does 'em but I'm sure Jeep parts or Dallas Autos will have them

Yes Steve I got the noseart from the 100BG site

http://www.100thbg.com/spotlight/styling/pages/piclily.htm

I chose this one as Lily is my daughters name & the plane was lost over Bremen on 8th Oct (my birthday)... seemed appropriate at the time :dunno:

I used Acrylics which seem to be holding out okay with very little or no cracking.

I stripped the leather with thinners to get the varnish off, hand painted it then sealed with a matt acrylic varnish. Its not a proper pattern jacket (as you can no doubt tell)... but if I'da paid serious wedge for it I wouldn't have dared to... as it was it cost a tenner from a car boot sale & the paints I already had:roll:

I stencilled each bomb roughly to look as though they were added one at a time.

But I copped out on the girl as i can't do figures so just made her a sillhouette against a moon... :whistle:

The leather dye sounds good I might try that.

Next one dosen't have any figures on so shouldn't be too scary :-D

no worries :-D

Here Y'go

Just drag the image to your desktop, open & print

excellent stuff Steve

My first attempt!

Got an A2 type I'm going to try & ruin next!

I recon the best bet is to have a test run done of say polo shirts (as everyone will probably want/wear one), see how that looks... and then if thats a goer & people cough up for 'em branch out into caps, beanies, pennants & HMVF leather underpants :schocked:

Otherwise we'll go round and round in circles suggesting more and more ideas & get nowt done... One step at a time.

What about HMVF tax disc holders...

see what i mean :-D

Got a box of laminating sets for credit card size labels...

Could work sommat round them?

Bit like a concert back stage pass type thing... :dunno:

Yes Jack, quite clearly a table...

Steve's been grounded and is going to 'fly a desk' from now on :-D

Yes V112G, insurance docs, Log book, down the post office etc, etc

Did you cut down tress

Did you press wild flowers

and go to the lavatory

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

he's a lumberjack

Done

excellent stuff :-D

My body is a temple...

Sadly the temple is in ruins with ivy growing up the sides of it and a tribe of monkeys living in it...

I'd love to do it too, if the opportunity was available.

No... but I used to... Halstead :-D

It's nothing new... we had them at Troy! :-D

Used to be fubar but now its "Milk Run"

cause compared to what the real guys went through...

Excellent pics

I seem to remember that one fo the rounds from that .50 in the Sperry turret shattered a farmhouse window some distance away... much to the surprise of the farmer, who was sat in the room at the time!

I've got loads to do this afternoon...but sod it I'll look anyway :whistle:

I've still got the original Norwegian army Cab enclosure for the dodge & Used T-Cut on the plastic with reasonably success.

Also you can get soft compound perspex from Homebase type places... good for making replacement windows in side doors.
