Coming the Old Harry
« on: Monday 26 June 06 16:54 BST (UK) »
Can someone scuttle over to the Armed Forces section and have a look at the posting 'Who is this guy?' please.

We need a wash and brush up done on him, and if possible a date.

Don't know how to link you direct, so asking.....nicely, with a big please, and a bigger thank you.

Hi PaulsToo

I thought I would have a try at your Harry.   Hope you don't mind.  I am still learning so need all the practice I can get.  i have no idea about naval uniform colours so took a mad stab at a blue, hope it's okay!!

Cheers

Oh, haven't you made him look nice. How lovely. Thank you. I never thought to see him in glorious tecnicolour.
Keep up the good work, it looks as though you've got what it takes.

Thank you PaulaToo for your kind words

I am so glad you like him.  I still have a long way to go, but I intend to keep practicing and learning.  I really enjoy doing the colourisations. 

Regards

I say, look how well the Killick anchor shows up on his sleeve in that one, Sharon. No getting away from that. He was a Leading Seaman, who ever he was.
