    Thanks for looking.
    My order arrived from skpmodel.eu today and I couldn't resist starting. So I thought I'd share my latest project.
    A Czech tank commander slowly becoming a British ARP warden. Head is from Hornet and ICM helmet, bike is Masterbox with other bits from the stash. Megaphone mk1 is paper wrapped around a pencil.

    Another nice original idea, Paul. I like the way you always create figures from the spares box, & the way you choose the Home Front as well as military subjects.

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks Mario.
    I really like the SKP range of figures, nice subjects, sculpts and a very reasonable price. I chose the figure because his outfit resembles ARP overalls with the minimum of changes. I knew he would have to lean on something and had a couple of ideas, it was just luck he fitted the bicycle so well. I've painted a couple of their RAF figures before and they are great. #269 Sergeant RAF was one of the figures I bought this time due to the options his uncluttered uniform offered, unfortunately he has arrived so damaged he's unusable.
    Edit: the very nice people at SKP have sent me a replacement figure for my damaged RAF sergeant

    [IMG] This great looking fellow was my initial inspiration.

    That face is superb, especially in this scale. Superb modelling all round as well.
