In the movie, it's def a 1911. I have both a 1911 and a Hi-Power, and I carried a 1911 in the Army. Mr. Connery def has a 1911....

Yup, it is! And if anyone needs to check up on details like these I recommend this site.

These guys started out as Commandos (Warlord), just added bits to make it look a bit like they're wearing Denison's.

An officer & a medic

Thought these guys looked the part for a bailed out recce jeep crew

Berets have come out a little bit more RMP than Para...

Cheers Jim.
I thought I'd start a little SAS unit with the other four. Still need to have a better go at the beret badges.

Lovely stuff, maybe a tiny dab of brown wash would sort the badges out?

Funnily enough that's usually what I do next, worked out alright on the ARVN badges I tried before.
There should be another bit to the badge, a scroll below the 'wings', I sort of ran out of room. Probably should have practiced on something prior to jumping straight in..!
I'll try a Mk 2 version.
