I like the effect of the foil later Larry

You are going to have a busy schedule :)

Hi Paul At this time that is the best I can do with it. I took it from the advert that was on the website I bought it off of. It hits the mail today and is coming from Florida so it should not take too long to get here. I also believe he was an Officer aspirant. And yes they were allowed the elevated grade tabs prior to promotion. later Larry

Sweet, is it all going to be made out of wood? will you be casting multiple parts i.e. turrets, AA guns etc? what is the total lenght? How many crew figures do you plan on and what brand will they be? later Larry

hello Haratio Yeah it is by far my favorite scale.....I do have some 28mm figures. I tabletop wargame when time permits. Been working my a## off lately, no time to do my own work I do do a little bit of commision work, infact I am trying to get thru a Bn of Swiss troops for napoleonics in 28mm. I hope my schedule at work slows down this winter. Tlak to me around November and lets see then. later Larry

Welcome to the forum Haratio 1/72 scale, that will be large 8) Looking forward to updates Later Larry

"Awarded to police forces for service in harsh enviormental conditions, or conditions of other special difficulty. members must complete one years service in areas of hardship after 1 january 1959. These medals are not officially manufactured and issued, but are instead made locally by independant manufactures" The above information was taken from "Medals and Decorations of Independant India" by Ed Haynes and Rana Chhina I have started to see if I can find all 16 medals that are known of First off is the Gujarat clasp, this is a court mounted version attached by velcro

Someone needs to put down the crack pipe.........

I like it myself, however I have been at odds with Ed more times than we have agreed.....come to think of it I do't think we have ever agreed. If you go to Sagongs be prepared to be savaged......... The book Brian talks about is this one: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/medals-catalogue-of-pakistan-by-yahya-qureshi-and-rafiq-kasbati/103923995 It can be found on Ebay for very little money and is at this point in time probably the best book available, though not totaly complete. later Larry

Summer whites used shoulder boards.

Was that one on Ebay Frank? i was eyeballiong one very sim ilar, just never went for it. Paul, IIRC there are 6 levels'check this site out, under Chivalry Orders http://users.skynet.be/hendrik/ later Larry

Most of the WW2 german badges were produced in the '57 version for wear when serving in the Bundeswher. They were identical to the war time issued ones minus the swastika.

Sweet I would dearly love to find some SB's for sale later Larry

They might be Womans Royal Naval service boards, and if I am not mistaken the purple would be engineering, though I might be wrong on that

here you go, from the top...hoherer Dienst, gehobener Dienst, mittlerer Dienst, einfacher Dienst.

If I am not mistaken the "I" on the revesre is indicative of Wolfers.
