And he doesn't have a 'twins' language like those two.

(If you ever heard Alan and Michael talking to each other..you'd know what i mean..... ;D ;D ;D ;D)

Cheers - Phil

Yes- I called it "Foundry speak" - It was handy when negotiating with a third party. Their version of "windtalkers" - or like in Bosnia when the Serbs compromised our comms, and we got a Royal Welch Fusilier (from North Wales) attached to do Clansman - we called him "Jones the jammer."

When I was 'in charge' of all the figure designers at the Evil Empire, most days I'd wander into the various offices to chat with the designers to see how things were progressing.
Being in the same room as Alan & Michael, was like listening to Bill & Ben (The flowerpot men) if they were talking to each other.*

But......They were truly two of the genuinely NICEST people I've ever met....Even if I couldn't understand what they were saying when they were talking to each other.

Cheers - Phil

*.....For those of you who live 'overseas' and those who are too young to remember....Have a 'Google' of 'Bill and Ben' and you'll get a vague impression of what I'm dribbling on about

In the era of Bill & Ben, in my loft I should have a few early Owl & Weasels ...... :)

Neat paint work.   The images of Korea tend to suggest that dress order was not as slack as Pacific.  All in helmets and mandatory that grenades were hung on web.

Phil  opted for Army as  opposed to USMC, so with the early war trousers they proxy   for late  WW2  Europe.
