Good work, GM. .....bit of a nutter though, right? EB, I put decals on the mitres of 18mm SYW figures and, on occasion, build 1/32 WWI aircraft- including making my own sparkplugs for the engines (proof below).

Good heavens. Who would do such a thing!

What we need now is bodies and a count up. How much will the hall cost for the two days Mr P?

Airfix 1/76 Guards Colour Party

I never owned a box of these chaps in my yoof and thought I'd missed the boat. Then, a few months ago I spotted in the Airfix catalogue that the set was to be re-released this Summer. Huzzah!
