Finally someone has found a use for those football figures! Looks a lot more like Angus than it ever did Wayne. Great work.

Great work, but I thought it was going to be a caber toss scene :)

You've captured the man spot on PT. Angus... der der der der der der der...Angus!

Maybe time to think of a Black Sabbath build as the boys from Birmingham (West Midlands, the original one, not its relation in Alabama :grin: ) are calling it a day.

Great conversion and superb painting. Large areas of flesh tones are difficult but you've mastered it.

Also good to see non military figures.
