Best of luck. A trial, by the sound of things.

Nicely done, and an act of perseverance!

Been having them for a couple of years now, probably never get used to them but better than sight loss. When life gives you crap it just makes the good bits that much better, still trying to convince myself, either that or 'life's a bitch and then you die' both work

Cheers Matt, I had a few instances of life butting in on my creative time but all worked out well and now time to start the process all over again.

And there I was, initially wondering who the manufacturer was (until I read your description).
Superb use of Airfix and MagicSculp to achieve a unique figure.
Very, very well done Simon.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thank you very much that is high praise indeed, really rather chuffed at that.

"Character-building" is another one.
It's just acquiring the scars that's a pain in the backside.

Oh so.many responses to that but I don't want to get banned! So I'll just shut up and go to bed.

A really good job all round there, mate. I did the JMD one a while back - one the of the best figures I've ever vandalsied. It's actually 60mm and is a beauty if you can get hold of one.

Thank you I'm glad you like it. I saw the JMD one and wanted to paint it but couldn't find one so I made my own, it worked out quite well.

[Jungle James O'Leary]

Nice figure, Simon! One would not be able to tell that it started out as an old Airfix multipose figure. Outstanding!

 

[Briggsy]

Thank you very much James, I take that as high praise indeed.

Cheers Simon
