Sorry Haddock  but I am doing another figure.  I seem to be back into the type of modelling I did when I was at sea.
This one is another MiniArt 1/16 scale figure and just for Bill this one has a skirt on.
Reading up on them, the guard  killed more Emperors than they protected and at the time they were classed as a byword for corruption/greed/bribery ---- it sounds just like the club committee - hohohohoho

I am saying NOTHING -- I can get myself into enough trouble without saying anything.

Like the way the mouth droops at one side, is this to hold a fag?

Thanks Haddock he now has a name, its "Maximus Cigarellus"  -- they are only bits of plastic until they have a name and a back story.

Here are similar ones that I built, quite a while ago. Excuse the dust!

Excellent -- if I can get to 20% of your level with this one I will be happy.
