This is a much better version Rene, I always liked the version of Steiner with his cap on. Hope the PPsh-41`s arrive with you soon.

All the best

Martin,

thanks for your attention and back ground info. I'll try to capture Steiner as close as possible to be seen in his role on the screen.

Steve,

thank you very much for your support in this one!

René
