finished one of these guys, loosely based on the guys featured here on page 10: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comics/ ... index.html

wanted to keep them dark & non-descript as far as allegiance goes!

Is that the slipstream body ?

Very nice work Ross, what is the head from ?

Looking forward to seeing a small squad of these perhaps ?

I had a thought of how you could maybe use paypal. If you could get a pre-paid debit card in your name sent to say a parents/family members address in the UK then when you are over you could put some cash on it to use and then register it with paypal.
Talksport radio do a pre-paid maestro (used to be switch)card.

I never seem to find the words to adequately praise Ross' work. They don't look like customs - they're better. But they don't look like produced toys either - they're better than that too. These are works of art.
