Agreed Littlehand , they've come a long way from the days of the unpainted plastic one's I used when I was growing up . Suspect
I think the first ever colour detailed set I saw were members of the African Corps of WW2 . A friend of mine had them , boy was I envious ! Suspect Suspect . They would look fairly ordinary against the ' Soldiers ' of today .
cheers 90th. Shocked

These models are brilliant, I wish that I had the eyes I used to have when I was a younger man. I would have been very content to have made models like these, they are just fantastic, the detail is superb.

Very well done, excellent work.

Many thanks 1stLt Idea

Hi 1st Lt.
