I was wondering what to do next and when walking by my stash this fell down off the shelf(true story)So I guess that I have no choice!

This is the other guys smoking buddy.

There is a little work to be done removing the uniform to make him look a little more like a civilian.

First step is to remove the military uniform.I do this by hand which takes a little time.Changing from military to civilian is great ,rather than the other way around, as it is a case mostly of removing stuff.The faint belt lines that you see are actually filled with very thin super glue and sanded smooth with the surrounding surface.The rest of the parts can be used as is ,it will make a nice 20's mechanic when finished.He too will also will be sporting a cigarette in his hand.

John, That is looking absolutely superb and has really captured the flavour of the moment. The modelling is excellent as well and you could just enjoy looking at it and imagining that you are there with them.

What your well-dressed ground personnel would be wearing in the 20's

As you can see it is a real mixed bag of civvy and semi-military styles!
