Other:
Since my restart at modelling I have discovered the works of Bill Horan and Mike Blank. This has minimized my interest for the mechanical side of war…and it saves me from constructing link-to-link styrene tracks. My absolute horror was a completely burnt figure, "Blindfold and Alone"after an attempt to speed up drying time in the oven. Favourite model: 'The Devil's Virtuosos" (my own) and "Gandamak" by Bill Horan.

Fiction: I go for a "slim" figure
