Indeed, some of the models on my desk have been there for at least a couple of years, never having quite made it to that last colour or two!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-46527691326667104572013-10-06T19:02:06.325+01:002013-10-06T19:02:06.325+01:00If you like converting figures then these newer WF...If you like converting figures then these newer WF kits are great.

Looking forward to seeing the next match-up.<br /><br />This pairing looks like a bit of a mis-match on paper, shoe vs machete, but when one of the combatants is a one-armed zombie, you can't count out the plucky survivor! The sense of narrative is just great.Jon Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004158520189190203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-53450862928915049502013-10-06T15:04:24.648+01:002013-10-06T15:04:24.648+01:00I don't know if it's deliberate, but Miche...I don't know if it's deliberate, but Michelle's outfit has a bit of a Wonder Woman vibe about it.
