Well done indeed Christopher - they look magnificent. I agree wholeheartedly with you - that it is much more fun to make something up for yourself - than buying the "ready-mades". Agree also that you can then spend a bit more on other enjoyable things - such as eating with your wife!
Excellent idea!
I take my hat off to you for starting from scratch - as I just paint ( and sometimes modify),existing castings. Well done indeed. Do keep at it - and show us some more, when they are completed - or even show us some progress reports, perhaps. johnnybach:salute::
