Hi all just thought i would give you an update on this figure, well humpty is all back together & doing well and has just had its first coat of paint.

All webbing has been sanded off & will be scratch built.

I'll not bother you with pic's untill it's done & dusted as we all seem to be watching the half naked lady in chain-mail.

Regards

John

 

[John Huggins]
