You should provide him with discounts on product given the free advertising you get!
You must be ever so thankful to the man who encouraged him to visit your shop ... I wonder who it was ... perhaps we'll never know.

hi Wayne.
The balsa comes up nice with a single medium coat of good old fashioned black indian ink 'wash' thinned out quite a bit. the boards were given a dusting of brown, white and green weathering powders (pastal colour sticks). i'll rust the barb wire when I get a chance...
i put a row of nail/bolt holes in the boards with a toothpick... it worked well... I hung some greenery off it tonight for a look and it came up great....all the best,
Marc

Cheers Cobber... I have been twice this week already... Money is no object... none of this "one figure at a time" like my mate "JACK"... No Sir... I needed a "carton" today and someone to hold the door open for me as I departed with my "carton" of new acquisitions... that said, I had cleverly asked "JACK" if he would like to meet me at the "old toy shoppe"... Like a trusty dog to a rusty bone he was there... by my side... saliva slowly dripping from his gob smacked mouth as he held the door open for me as I left.... to increase my ever increasing collection of WW2 germans...
all the best

Sounds a bit like an Austin Powers type. You know the International Man of Mystery. Like the sort who wears velvet jackets from the 60's.

Your bridge is a true work of art. For this scene though the third figure from the front does not seem to fit with the other figures, especially those in front. They have a completely different type of body language. Once again bravo for your excellent bridge.

I don't think Marty needs a tip while wearing the velvet jacket mate, he would get money quite easily by sitting in the mall with the jacket on with a tin in front of him! {sm4}

At times like this you really have to ask what the moderators are doing? Where are the infractions? The warnings? The reminders to play nice?
Just because I am the intellect of the group (when Bob is not there) and the snappiest dresser (hardly a boast given the yard wear most of you arrive in) I should not be an object of ridicule. That velvet jacket is so cool I could leave it on a table in a night club and return and find that a woman has bought it a drink.
As for the one figure at a time, I suspect I have been to the shop 60 times in the last 52 weeks. I have to spread the purchases out!

Tom,
Actually this a true story and probably more of a nightmare than a dream.
The lady concerned obviously would rather have a conversation with Jack's jacket whilst he was away
than with him when he was wearing it. However cant blame Jack for trying to be positive about what
happened.
I hope we are not "hijacketing" this thread !!!
