Sounds like the sort of mock French malapropism Del Boy would say to Rodney whilst totalling the Reliant Robin.

One of the guys at the club was clearing out some old tat. I relieved him of what we think is an old RAFM Balrog. Stylistically it is a figure from its time and the paint job merits a strip and redo. One the other hand it is probably a sound investment for the lead value as it weighs 680 grams.

Anyway, this week I am continuing my panic-buy of AB Figures Wellingtonics, in anticipation of a potential AB-famine...

I already have over 2,000 unpainted ABs, but you can't be too careful...

The recipe for Aurore is for amateurs
Yeah, I never got it right (Guard Chassuers a' Cheval). Strangley they looked ok on camera but in the flesh it looked odd.

Strange, the things I was obsessed with back then.

Funny how what one is concerned about alters over time eh Ken. For the correct colour thing these days, I just use light, medium or dark. That'll do. Life's too short to be any more bothered about it.

Who cares about the correct shade of Orange, they are bleedin wonderful! Albeit heretical. COTOTS says that you will spend some considerable portion of eternity with your balls on the Devil's hotplate.
