Thanks for the encouraging replies.
I made one more swab in a working
tropical uniform.  He is also wearing a new
hat made with Mighty Putty. 

Best regards,
Jimbo

Billy Mays would be proud of you, Jimbo ...  :klickygrin:

Your side view almost looks like a limey's flat hat.

I'm going to have to try a little Mighty Putty. (How did you get the sides so perfect?)

Thanks for sharing.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Wow! it does look like a limey's flat hat. :yup:...I fabricated the hat on top
of a klicky hair piece, then sanded away any "extra" putty.  The Mighty Putty
was fairly easy to roll flat, and wrap around the hair piece.

Thanks for the flat hat idea.

Best regards,
Jimbo

Thanks, Jimbo ...

Does the Mighty Putty "stick" to the hair piece? Or, can you take it off and put it back on?

This could be a really interesting solution to making Playmobil accessories.

All the best,
Richard

And some storage room to keep that task force. Perhaps the Smithsonian could be emptied and take a few of those  :lol:

Hi all,
Thanks for the nice comments.  Makes me want to build a scale battleship. 8}
It would be about 25 feet long and 4 feet wide!  I have already built
one in my mind.  I think that's where it is going to stay ;D.

Maybe an 8 foot long one would be easier.  Although I could go fishing in the 25 footer....

Richard..The putty did not stick to the hair piece.  Knightmo also said
it doesn't work very well as glue.

Hmmmm...Playmo Battleship......
