Ha Ha Mike. You made it.
Lovely return to the figures.I think you may have transposed the colours of the rear patch of the bearskin but he looks great.

Hi Mike welcome to PF and its great that you have come back to the hobby, you will find it very different now with the internet as one of your tools, I have just got back in myself after a very long break and finding it a lot more enjoyable especially with the help you will receive from the Planteers, it will take you a while to get up to speed with all of the new materials and the massive range of Resin figures and Busts that are available but get in there and keep at it, you are off to a good start and the folks on here will keep you motivated.

Terry.....certainly is very different from 38 years ago......some great modellers here for sure still got lots to learn.....loads of new things on the market.......been doing some model bust and figure research the guys gave me a couple of links to check out.....it hopefully will fall in place in due course ......and over time....mike
