    Hi guys,I got a email this morning from my good friend Les smith who very kindly entered my Old Maori Warrior on my behalf at Euro Militaire. The email said that it received a Gold.I am totally rapt.Ever since I was a teenager I have wanted to get to this big International Show to enter my work and Les said to me last year that he was going and would take one of my figures.It is along way from New Zealand to Euro Militaire.Les also got a commeded with one of his models.Kind regards to all from a happy wee chappie.John :) :eek: :lol:

    John it was my personal Best of SHow - I loved the figure GREAT work

    Well done John,
    I didn't realise this was one of yours until they mentioned your name during the prize giving. An excellent and original subject.
    I would have loved to have seen your Seaforth Highlander in the bust category - there were a lot of the same figure and not many original or individual pieces, I think you could have got amongst the medals with him.

    A most well deserved Gold medal indeed! It's great to see artists such as yourself engaging in their native subjects.
    A gentle reminder for myself to move away from the fanfare of WW2 Germans too!

    John: As Stephen (Blues)King said, your figure is my personal Best Of Show. We, Planeteers, are proud of you.

    Calvin: Like you said, it would be interesting to move away from WWII Germans. On the other hand, you forgot to mention that YOUR German figure got a Gold too!

    My hat's off to both (y) (y) (y)
