Hi Peter...

Thanks for noticing the Elan Merch wraiths. They are actually the prize of my whole collection. I traded for most of them back when I was in elementary school (I think I got the bulk of that unit in 5th grade). The problem was that I was missing the leader piece. My buddy either did not have him or wouldn't swap for him. I spent 20 years working to complete that set and finally did a couple of years ago. We all have our holy grails and he was mine. I have even left them in their original paint scheme. They are simply black with a lime green drybrush to pick up the details and give them an otherworldly appearance. It was good enough in 1978-9 so it is good enough now. When I got the leader, I gave him the same treatment and put him on the shelf.

I wonder were I could find this kind of display shelves around here? :?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/

The display case is a cd case from Ikea. They don't sell that model any longer but they have a few options that might work.
