    Here is a work I started on over four years ago, finally finished painting it. The piece is made from old bits of plastic, mostly from discarded computers. The figure repersents a US Army BAR gunner resting against a bick wall some where in Italy around 1943-44.

    Thanks Steve, Gordy: By bits of old computers I mean at about 450% the plastic such as floppy drive covers, the front case, ect: becomes soft an plyable so I,ll use this to come up with the basic shape then refine with files, sandpaper,and dremal.

    Wow...this is a mystery to me, I must admit. More of a mystery than the computers themselves.
    Fascinating.

    Tony really good to see another figure from you mate and this for me is one of your best so far, i really like the attitude of this one and the use of the wall for him to lean on gives him a nice pose.
    Four years to complete but well worth the wait i think.

    How are things with you mate ?

    All the best

    Steve
