  18. Blimey, Tamsin P.

    I reckon they must be some of nicest figures in your ever expanding collection.

    I'm struggling to get anything of note completed at present - all power to your elbow.

    @ James - thanks! I definitely put a lot of effort into these, possibly more than was warranted [I think it was 4+ levels of highlighting for (almost) every element - cripes!] :)

  21. An amazing and beautiful force; I wish I could focus on one force like you.

    And the huts, the huts are the best painted huts I've ever seen.
