Not to forget, having taken everything off all of the sprues, which means a lot of sorting of arms etc to be done before gluing them on. I'll have tons of leftovers - hacked off limbs on bases?TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-19909760227176439092012-06-16T12:31:21.273+01:002012-06-16T12:31:21.273+01:00Lots to be said for avoiding the plastics but I li...Lots to be said for avoiding the plastics but I like the variety that can be gained.
