Never seen that, either.

What I have seen, though, is a model of the Ark being carried by some Nazis - I just can't remember where I saw it. Have to browse through all my pulp links...

IIRC it got a small mention in the GASLIGHT yahoo group when it was released but this is the first time I've heard anything since.

There are two versions of this -  the Hebrew priests version shown and the Nazis from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' alternative. Gerry Webb at Castaway Arts is great bloke (I think he might be a Bonzer Fella in his native idiom!) I don't know if he has a European distributor, but there's no problem getting things sent from Australia, although postage will be high.

I'll see him at Historicon next week - I am painting some of his new C19th Hausa (West Africa) figures as display items for his stand.

Yep, I knew I'd seen it somewhere! Castaway, too. I had seen it it here:
