Face and 'Bone Dome' completed. All the little details on the helmet painted according to reference images. Reflective strip from Tamiya curved masking tape

[Steve Brodie]

Immersion suit and life jacket finished.
Still to do;
a) connect hose to face mask and hardware
b) attach face mask clips onto helmet.
c) make face mask clips

Then start on the base.

Been working away on getting the 1/144 Sea Harrier built, just neeed a bit of filler so not bad for kit that dates back to the 80's, Will need painting and decals adding, then the canopy, which will be painted to reflect clouds (I hope).

I must have only brushed the face clips with my finger and both were gone, they are more fragile than a snowflake, so have had to resort to creating two new ones from some 15 amp fuse wire.

Really good, would look like a lego man if I tried something like that.

Thankyou. Technique learned from kiriil kanaev

Thanks, but I'm sure it wouldn't.

Finally got him all cabled up, 0.5mm lead wire for the mic headset cable and 15amp fuse wire for the clip connector cables. I had to replace both clips on the helmet as they snapped off. Pull tag is 2mm masking tape.





Harrier is progressing well. Plinth has been ordered from Petes Bases, name plate is on its way from Nameit, just waiting for the DFC and AFC to come into stock and these will also be added to the sides of the plinth.
