I have long admired the LoA range and was recently offered a load of 'spares' which I collected at Partizan last Sunday. As Sunday was also my birthday I missed the significance of the pointed 'Happy Birthday' when the tub of figures was handed over. It was only yesterday after a few pointed comments that I realised I needed to dig deeper in the box and uncovered these!





The painter (Iain Burt aka Essex Boy) has done a most excellent job on these and it's going to be nightmare painting anything to come anywhere close to matching them!!

Either way, Iain's work deserves a little exposure!

Yes, our EB is certainly no slouch when it comes to brushwork. Lovely looking chaps and no mistake. Good luck with the style matching.

I take that as encouragement! I shall apply for the position on Maître d'Piscine at the local swimming pool after all!

Those are quite amazing! I had to check the catalogue to make sure they were Pendraken 10mm figures, and not Clib's 28mm sculpts for someone else.   Truly, truly, awesome!  :o :o :o =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> :-bd

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

P.S. Oh! And great report on the Partizan show (see Andy's blog, folks) :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
