As ever lovely work Paul, but a long time ago I made the comment on the Forum about 1/16 figures,
Me and my fellow soldiers when given the choice would fire a Rifle or GPMG from the prone position, yet finding 1/16 figures in such positions is almost impossable, I have often wondered why? :think: shaun

1/18 nicely combinations with tank really good.

Nice 1/16 figures makers- Kirin, Verlinden, Dragon, Legend.

"Absolutely, There are plenty of good 1/16 or 12mm figures out there now. A lot different from when I started making 120mm figures 25 years ago, Verlinden was about all there was really. I remember going to Euro Militaire at Folkestone every year to see the latest releases and stock up on figure kits. The internet has made sourcing figure kits so much easier." :D
What would we do without the Internet? I build 1/8 historic r/c Aircraft and for years I had to carve and/or mould full length Pilot figures of the period but with the advent of the "WWW" I quickly discovered a source in Norfolk, so that is one less thing I have to do,Tim Berners Lee the savior of my sanity. :thumbup: shaun

Thank you for your kind offer, but right now in the bottom of my WW2 accessory box are three 1/9 pilot busts (a German an American and a RNZAF one)
The problem was never Pilot Busts, but full length pilot figures preferably seated were ever a rarity, but now I have a reliable suppier in Norfolk. :thumbup: yet again thanks. :wave: shaun
