tonydawe A Fixture Joined Aug 31, 2007 Messages 8,132 Location Perth, Western Australia Apr 16, 2008 #20 Hi Samwell, John, David, Ian, Marc, Mark, Ray, Roger and Frank, Thanks for your comments guys. Sam, my next new one is likely to be another Naked Army 1/6th scale figure of a Royal Australian Air Force Spitfire pilot in New Guinea, 1943. I have a couple of other figures at various stages of completion which I hope to finish in the next couple of months. Cheers
