Phil.

If you are handy with green stuff then the SASR figures on bikes are multi part, I've used them for conversions myself (French and drug dealers riding tandem). Kosta also sculpted some 'NATO office workers' which, serendipitously are also multi part and do fit the SAS rider legs with a little effort. One of the Office workers has a phone to his ear. Sculpt a turban, lengthen his shirt and Bob's your uncle.

Failing that Empress do a pair of bike mounted Afghans, albeit heavily armed.

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

Yes carlos, but as Phil pointed out... they'd be better if done by Kosta's hand. Of course, some downed Blackhawk or NATO jet pilots would also be well received... by Kosta's hand.  ;)

Just sayin'.

Carlos, that's not a bad idea - although I think if I did a conversion I'd want Kosta to do one all the more. You know having one done badly just makes you want the real thing all the more? Like fellatio...

I have the Empress one, not had the enthusiasm to done anything with them. Typically I have a few unpainted Eureka and Empress and I'd usually go for one of the Eureka pieces - what a fan boy I am.  :-*

Bravo Six knocked it on the head - perhaps we should start another thread to encourage the man Kosta himself, with a mix of enthusiasm, bribery and veiled threats?  :o

As long as it doesn't come at the cost of him completing these Russians, the  Portuguese, Modern French and variants for the Aden Brits I'd be happy with that. He may have other ideas and so might Nic Robson. lol

Gorgeous Soviets.  I don't even game that era but I'd probably buy some...gorgeous things.

If we told you we'd have to shoot you.  ;)

Is there such a thing as one done badly? In any case Shakespearean characters belong on another board.  ;)

Agreed, but it's a lot of work for one bloke. Maybe we could chain him and Paul Hicks to the same bench? Either, or preferably both, would work for me.  >:D

He could stick to the Portuguese, Aden Brits (and more guerillas) and I'd be happy.  :)

Whilst an excellent demonstration of flexibility, it's never quite the same when self-administered, is it?

Probably best to confine your requests of the sculptor to sculpting too.

They really need to get on the ball with there posting of products.  :`
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
