Thanks baron - owe you one. A bracket, that is.
At first I thought you were just going for the "most minimalist post of the day" award. Actually, as that possible? Most minimalist? Mmmmmm.

Skellen showed incredible tenacity during the American Embassy siege in London, 1982. Infiltrating "The People's Lobby", he showed exactly the qualities needed in an SAS trooper and much more. As such he is held in high regard by the other squadron members who have no hesitation when going into battle with him.
"Skellen is a remarkable soldier, very few can match his level of determination, and even fewer his initiative."
That's brill Mark. I'd think about painting the badge black, with tiny white wings or yellow wings.

i think you should add a spot of yellow to his cap badge, would really set him off

I was thinking the same thing. I gave Zero a black badge and thought Skellen needed a yellow badge too, I'll do that. Trying to keep it traditional Ross, I like the idea of a SAS badge but it wouldn't really fit I think. I know someone who might do that tho
Thanks to Thundershot I think I have a codename "Zephyr"? Wadaya think? Homage to the Mark II, a Kiwi icon and a Greek god to boot.
Oh and thanks for all the kind words feller's, it is one of the easier and better looking one's I've done. Another Dozen to follow soon.
