Dude, i had no idea! Sorry!

I honestly just picked a random figure from those you had photographed to complain about, without actually looking at them. It could just as easily have been the 2para figure, all i wanted to do was gently poke fun at paul's criticism, and sound a bit like a Sgt Major, i hadn't even noticed that he was crooked. And i would never poke fun at a crippled war vet!

You must have spent the entire weekend thinking we were a bunch of twats! I actually feel quite bad. Your photographs are great, and a lot of hard work. Don't feel bad. I'M NOT AN EVIL PERSON! honestly.

However, the colour of your shelf sucks! I mean, seriously, What is that, fake elm colour. Just awful! :-D

and please. WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK OF THE BLOODY TABLE?

Cheers!

Re the table Hopper. Excellent, but because I'm not a member of that freeshare site, I'm just too lazy to join up and actually see it. I imagine a lot of the rest of us are just as lazy.

Any chance you could save the doc as an interchangeable j-peg and then post it as a regular pic for our viewing pleasures.


Many thanks again!

Hopper, I've been around here long enough to KNOW that everyone is a bunch of twats! Lovely twats, but twats nonetheless! And i'm proud to be one of them! :-D

I know your taking the piss, but the fashion police have been on the phone and suggested that I point out that that is actually my corner cabinet at work. Very fashionable apparently. When they bought it in 1973.

Just downloaded the table Hopper (after navigatin my way around the pics of lasses that have lost weight and the various Russian brides for sale!) and I like it! It makes a lot more sense when seen in a table, than when listing, as finally HM1 etc makes sense. In the end we should be able to possibly drop it into a format that allows links to pics of each headmould etc, and the figs that used it, but for a WIP, it's looking good mate!

Got a crazy busy week this week, but will try to start on shelf 2 in the next day or two (with the correct weapons Paul - just to keep the OCD at bay!! ;-) )

Excellent!

Yeah, as long as we know we are on the right track, the finished product can be tattooed on the back of your new russian bride if you want mate! ;-)

No rush for Shelf 2, i've got crazy amounts on at the mo!

V.2 has a list of accessories incorporated into the table, i'll upload the results soon enough.

Cheers.

Eeeeee - I tell ya - this one gets more and more cheeky the longer he is off work! It's the same with our lass when i get home too! Lounging around, or being cheeky in the forum, whilst we're here oiling the wheels of the economy.... ;-)

This table is lovely Hopper. Great work!

Personally, I would argue that the variants of Artic and Mountain & Arctic Assault with no red insignia are merely paint errors, not actual variants.

We haven't 'done' the mail away Commander but there is a variant 'pilot' body of him.

I have no evidence, but I would guess at there 'possibly' being a black hands variant of the black frogman and maybe an alternate helmet version of the US Para, but I am jumping ahead a little here.....

Still, great stuff Hopper!
