I love doing little vignettes with the command stands - the only criticism of these figures is their size - they are taller than most other makes available. But the Victrix make up for it with the range of bits that they come with - like the very butch over-the-shoulder ensemble for the officer. Just as well he's a big tough grenadier!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-45492764899596893242010-03-16T01:09:19.886+11:002010-03-16T01:09:19.886+11:00Magnificent work, Doc!

They also are so tempting to try different units that would be cost-prohibitive (for me anyway) with metals. DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.com
