Not my interest - but Andy Cairns is an amazing sculptor and his castings are always first-rate. I have his 75mm USMC stretcher team and it's stunning. Every face of that 10-man flight crew has a different expression, different personalities. I can't wait to see someone do justice to this incredible work from Andy.

On these two points I share your opinion, not something I would even consider starting. When I see a product of this magnitude I always wonder how many unit he would actually sell? As well I enjoy his unique style.

Great idea! nice staff!

A marvellous set of figures. I'm sure someone will produce a giant diorama.

Uff!A tour de force...I get the Memphis Belle-Crew many years ago from Legends or Jaguar.There are 10 boyz,too,but all cramped on a Jeep.

Very nicely done. But how about a Lancaster crew - the aircraft flown by Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians etc.?

The Bomber Command Memorial is inspirational and it would be wonderful to see the figures replicated in 1/24 (75mm) or 1/20 (90mm) scales:

Absolutely agree ... a particular sculptor who seems to specialise in this sort of thing comes to mind. If he
ever gets round to it I just hope he doesn't make the arms too long.

wow, very impressive
