Such encouragement! I only hope you won't all be disappointed.

The train passengers: From left to right: Peters (the arms dealer), Bridie (Government official), Prince Kishan (the Prince), Catherine Wyatt (the Prince's governess) and Van Leyden (the journalist).



Captain Scott (I'll pick one of these)

I'm sure I've seen this movie, I remember Herbert Lom being in it. But I don't recall there being any gigantic statues of Kali parading around. I thought that was The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Oh well, my memory is not what it was...


Looking forward to seeing more. Especially the train.  :)

No, I hate plastic figures and avoid them whenever possible :)

I think the WA Afghans wi look very slender compared with the chunky Pulp figures.
They're nice, but on the slender and willowy side.

Looking great, Matakishi!  I will be following this with interest.

Slightly off topic, I'm reminded of an Afghan joke;

A Pakistani man was talking with an Afghan.  He said, "you Afghans are crazy - you have a Ministry of Railways even though you have no Railways!".  The Afghan replied, "Your country has a Ministry of Justice!"
