Title: RNAS cap badges in 1:35 scale?
Post by: Michael Scarborough on March 09, 2015, 09:11:06 AM
I know that 1:35 PE cap badges are made for various British WWII Army units but, by any chance, has anyone ever seen them for RNAS officers caps?

Thanks,
Michael

Wow Michael, that would be exremely small, I know they make German helmet badges using decals so I suppose the same could be done with cap badges, hope someone can help you out.

Never seen any Michael, even the 1/48 naval figures I have don't show that detail.
The best source for all things RN was White Ensign but sadly they shocked the ship building world when they closed just after Telford.

Michael,
            I'm not aware of anyone producing these. In 1/32nd or 1/35th, they'd be very tiny affairs. If you can produce the artwork, I'm sure someone could do a run for you, or you could etch them yourself. (With you talents and spirit of experimentation, I'm sure this will be no problem for you.)

I was very saddened to see WEM go under, but with the PO refusing to ship his paints, that nailed the coffin lid shut on his business. I'm just hoping that someone in the U.S. will volunteer to be a distributor of his paints. (I've got a small hoard of the IJN/IJAAF and USN colors.)

Michael,

Do you have any good photos of the badges you are referring to?  I might be able to create the artwork you need to create PE and decals if it's not too small. I would also need to see the model figure and cap it will be placed on for size reference.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delayed response....and much appreciation for the ideas.

I need the figure with cap on, as he will be holding a chart. So, I actually managed to carefully carve the RNAS badge off the cap he was holding...and then lose it to the floor.

I'll write to Martin and ask if he prepares them separately before applying them. They really are exquisite figures.

Cheers,
Michael

PS Bo and Warren can go back to playing their little game now.

You've obviously not partaken of RoF.
