Nice one Mike! (y)(y)(y)

Nice job Rod! You have come a long way from those BAMMS days. (y)

Awesome sculpts Taesung! (y) These are as good as any of the digital sculpts I see here and elsewhere. Kudos! Mike

Nice one Gary! It is nice to see this one painted up. Great job! Mike

Outstanding sculpt! (y)(y)(y) Three thumbs up, my highest rating! :D

Terve taas! Nice job Pekka! Your sculpting gets better with each new figure. Keep up the good work! Mike
