    Glad you like them Ian.
    There was some sorta Royal thing going on.
    In fact if you look closely at her satchel, you'll see "Wales" - actually a tip to my Mother In Law who serves as a WAAF '46-48
    :)

    Who else has done a figure tribute to their M-in-L ? ;-)

    Good selection of family members there mate & a kookaburra would be so tempting for you to create out of... :)

    Mike ,

    Really lovely work , great blues ..thanks for the link to the colour mix .

    The range of figures are really finely cast ( I particularly like the "swooning" WAAF ..looking up at her pilot hero) , this range has some really impressive WW1 pilots perhaps we might see some ladies from this period.

    Thanks for sharing

    Hi Neil

    Trust all well with you - due to go to WellyWood soon?

    Yes enjoyed painting this young woman.
    Fine features a nice change from men :)

    Thanks mate, currently working on a Robocop like late war bomber crewman.
    He's a neat sculpt too.
    More in a couple of weeks

    Stay safe

    I'm grateful for your feedback Nap, glad paint mixes could come I'm handy.

    Yes there are some super figures in David's expanding range with some neat ones to come.
    Including a series of women from WW1 era.
    Stay tuned.
