Lovely! Some septic aircrew would be a good seller, I dare say.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Great work. It really does look like him.
Are you going to have a figure of his parachuting grandma as well?  ;)

Or his uncle Edward the ballerina?  Uncle Andy flying a Sea King, with the Duchess of York as an under slung load. Makings of a great diorama if you throw in the Hasslefree Madge with Purdey 12 bore.

You're slipping Carlos, no mention of the HMS Camilla and all who have sailed in her?  ;)

It took me 4 posts before I got the references, thank you Arley! ;)

Lovely minis, and it does invite to play the Crossed episodes with a bandaged 'Arry fighting of the hordes in the north of Scotland :D

Er... My wife, in a somewhat less than politic yet bizarrely well-intentioned manner, has more than once remarked to my mother on her likeness to the consort of the Prince of Wales. Something that caused a certain clenching of the maternal teeth. As a general rule I avoid bringing her up in conversation.  ::)

A 28mm model of the next in line, with appropriate detail shown to his ears would probably make a good stand in for a 1/300 representation of RAF Fylingsdale. :)

Out of sheer ignorance... would these also work as part of a vehicle crew?  :?

Apologies too, they are very nice figures, as usual.  :)

Yeah Tank crew have the same armament, though they probs have helmets.

I picked up a pack of these at Salute, and ginger'ish hair was the first thought . . .

loved the 'under slung load' & 'HMS Camilla' comments
