FIRST attempt??? You're either extraordinarily lucky, or you really got some Talent...turned out Great!

Thanks
Lucky is the way to describe it...
Trying some new ones in my spare time.
Practice makes perfect I guess.

The 323rd sqdn had a real goat mascot, they named it Amatol. I posted pictures of it here previously.

Good work BTW.

You sure did ...
With some extra

And here it is at Bassingbourn with the photo lab behind to the left and one of the C Type hangers behind that.
The rear of the firetruck garage can be seen far left, this was situated directly behind, but some way back from the Watch Office - otherwise known as Control Tower.

Patch attempt number 2.
Daughter is huge Disney Classics fan so on her request an effort to put Fifinella, the WASP mascot, on leather.
More fine details in this one, and I overestimated my artist abilities a bit.


Daughter's happy, daddy proud nonetheless.

That's impressive!

Thanks, Too much honor I'm afraid. Still a lot of room for improvement.

Invested in a few more brushes, finer, better quality.
Details are still sloppy, but we'll get there.

One of my dad's little sayings when I was not happy with my work was 'practice makes perfect', he was of course right.
