I am both envious and driven to do something similar, but in a smaller scale. Perhaps Jacklex? I have some in my lead pile ... but I also have quite a few (actually a lot) of 15mm-scale figures as well.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
