The front cover are Spencer Smith ACW figures. I wonder who has some of them ?

Mark I’ve got hundreds of them. I think Spencer Smiths should be plastic really but I did bizarrely get a large lot of the metals at an extremely good price from Ian Hinds (that’s the bizarre bit). Of course they have sat in boxes for four or five years and I’ve painted about 30 of them.

You could say that. I’d have to find them to work out what but it’s a lot.

I have this signed Don Troiani print hanging in my hobby room. I used his ACW book as a painting reference as his research into the subject is thorough.

Where would you put him on the Kiley Scale, from 1-10 with 10 being "the full Kevin"?
