A Project too Far? - British Paras for Bolt Action
Tiny Details...
The 'Green' Beret's...
The Genuine Article for ReferenceAs I was getting set to prime ‘Three Section’ ready for painting, I noticed a small yet distinctive detail was missing from my ‘green’ berets. Their metal comrades don the distinctive Paratrooper badge on their headgear, so I tried my hand at some fine detail sculpting.
For those who are interested, I started by sculpting a green triangle of the correct size where I wanted the badge to sit. I then carefully shaped it into a similar shape to those on the Warlord sculpts. This is all a bit of trial and error as I rarely use green stuff, but they match up nicely and i’m happy with the result.
@adamlee999 – Epic project, great kit bashing with the berets, and kudos on the research! I always love seeing a historical hobbyist pay such attention to detail.
Thanks for the kind words @oriskany! I’m glad you’re enjoying the project. 🙂
