    You could always ask on of the lads in the US to buy it on your behalf and then it could be sent as a gift with a nominal value so you don't get hit. Or ask the seller!
    The money you would save could go towards the figure.(y)

    There is so much to love about this figurecSteve. The pose, the face and then all the details like the fit of the top of the boots, the bulge in the breast pocket and the fit of the clothing.

    Great work, I know you've spent a lot of time refining this and it shows. Really looking forward to seeing it at Telford.

    Steve - fantastic figure, beautifully done. Any plans for a "snowdrop" for the Harley, and a DR for the Triumph?!
    Regarding the kits, they do turn up at some of the smaller model shows occasionally and not necessarily at ebay prices!!

    Thank you everyone for the comments on the figure, I will go back and look at the right hand again before committing to moulds.
    I will have this kit available for Telford and hopefully some for sale prior to the show for those not attending.

    As for the bike kits they are quite readily available on E-bay from time to time for around £30 in the U.K and they do turn up at shows, they have been produced from the 70`s onwards under various brands so there are a lot out there. Search for 1/9 ESCI, ERTL,Revell and Dragon and you should find plenty.

    #Steve... I would like to have at least one figure to accompany the Harley and the Brit bikes.

    All the best

    Great work Steve, a good one to start with for the series. I'm afraid I get that experience even from short rides these days!

    Hi Ray,

    Glad to hear you managed to get some more bikes, I have already began work on the DAK rider, he will be seated on the bike this time rather than standing.

    Would he have a dagger portape' or "knot" something like this one? The dagger is so prominent, it kinda looks lacking without one.

    All the best,
