Absolutely gorgeous.

If anyone gets an unwanted one could we be first in line to rescue it for Glynis - would make a lovely birthday present.

I'm second in line (or would that be fourth? ;D). Very nice miniature!

It's a free giveaway: attend CRISIS 11 and you'll get one.  If not, your chances are slim...

I'll be attending as a trader. Does that disqualify me from getting one?

Very nice!

(Though technically I believe he was a mathematician who developped a way to turn a sphere into a flat, complete plane: you guessed it, the Mercator Projection. It was used in cartography afterwards :D ;D :D)

(Oh, and no Wikisomething on this one, I just remembered this (*cough*) very interesting fact for some reason...)

Yours truly,

Sir Dryden

Stonking.
Would very much like one of those, but alas, CRISIS falls on the same weekend as BLAM  ::)

Still, any CRISIS visitors decide they don't want him, I have plenty of limited edition figures from Salute (and elsewhere) I'd happily trade...  ;)

Excellent figure, and I would love to have one.  Unfortunately, attending Crisis is not possible (although I would love to).  Brilliant con-only figures always make me sulky... it's not fair!

This is actually a very nice miniature, and I would love to have one, if possible in one way or another. I could trade or hand over hard cold cash!

We must have one for our pirate town, it would fit right in with the others :D
