I have the very thing ... wait a minute ...



White Russian. I don't want to give away too many secrets, but this is a WWI Russian figure (RP1, I think) that I have converted in to a White Russian by adding five coats of Halford's matt white primer.  


I thank you all for this award, which I thoroughly deserve. In doing so, I want to thank all the little people who have helped me become what I am today. There's Techno, without whom I would seem normal, and Westmarcher who is gutted because he didn't think of it first. Then there are the doctors, so many doctors. I'd especially like to thank Doctor Thinkenskrewed, and to him, I say "just do as they tell you, the first six months are the worst".

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

After embedding there seems to be an issue with the pics disappearing. My confederates were visible for a while, now they are gone. Cheers,

There does appear to have been a bit of a glitch in the forum code there.  They were visible last night when I went to bed, but they've disappeared now for some reason?  Can you send me your images by email Aksu and I'll get them added in again.

Yeah, I've contacted him and asked him to send me the files so that I can upload them to our Photobucket and link them from there.  I'll have to ask Matt what's happened there as well.
