Hi all,
Not Pendraken and not 10mm, but I hope Dave and Leon will forgive me putting this up here, given that its for a good cause.
I've sculpted a set of three 28mm Shaolin Monks (though they could perhaps pass for Japanese or Korean monks at a stretch), and I'm auctioning them on eBay.
The genesis of these figures lies in the loss of a friend. About eight weeks ago an instructor at the Taekwondo club I attend, died after a struggle with cancer. He had been ill for just over a year, and it was a big shock. He was only 40. I had mentioned before on the forum that we ran the mararthon
This weekend our club is participating in a charity walk up Slieve Donnard, one of the Mourne Mountains.
I was having real problems getting sponsorship, (working at home and being very busy put a cramp on seeing your friends and family!) so I hit on the idea that I could more usefully contribute by sculpting up some figures and auctioning them off. I wanted them to have a martial arts theme, but thought the subject of Shaolin might be more useful to gamers than modern Taekwondo practitioners.
Unfortunately due to time constraints I had to scale back my original plans from six to three.
All the profits will be going to Marie Curie Cancer Care, I'll not benefit myself financially.
Anyway I hope you like them and hopefully the buyer will cast them up and make them available.
thanks for having a look.

Interesting sculpts clib.
They'd convert to Jedi pretty easily.
Nice sculpting, might keep an eye on these!

Put a bid in to get the ball rolling Clib - do you have a just giving account for donations or does anyone in your group?
Down to the last couple of hours for this auction.
Cheers all, especially mad lemmey for getting things kicked off.
Sorry I didn't answer your question sooner; there was no "just giving" account this time, we were just handed sponsorship sheets. Its a pity because the just giving thing made things nice and easy last year when we ran the marathon for a similar cause.
