Empress Charity figure for Ignatieff's appeal

[H.M.Stanley]

Surely a cheroot?!? 

Darrell.

Its a damned fat cheroot old boy ... 

[WuZhuiQiu]

I'd like to buy one, too, although I won't be crossing the Atlantic to attend Salute.

[Mason]

Its a damned fat cheroot old boy ...  

Looks like a ruddy great biffter to me.

Maybe son of Flashy likes it that way  

Looks like a ruddy great biffter to me.
 

Or that way too 

Darrell.

[Phil Robinson]

Can you get me one too, Phil? 

Will do.

[Hu Rhu]

Put me down for one.  I will collect at Salute. 

[Atheling]

Hi,
Don't worry if you are not at Salute we will put it in the shop we are just drowning in pre Salute work at the moment

He is holding a cigar. I have no idea what you thought it could be  

My mind does play tricks sometimes  .

Enjoy Salute and i hope it's a good one for you.

I'll be in touch re: Large NZ Wars/Pro Gloria order after Salute.... that way I don't interrupt what is likely to be a frenzy of casting  

Lost my father to Melanoma in 2006 - rediscovered wargaming to ease the grief.

My Dad is battling it at present so it has a personal touch for me too.

{Edit} I should add that I was misdiagnosed with Lung Cancer (!!!) a few years ago and it took three months and a lot of psychological damage for the Oncologist to let me know that I was OK so I have some idea about how it feels.
 
This is a very worthy project and one that deserves all the support it can get.

Darrell.

[FramFramson]

No way that I'll be at Salute (it's a long swim - I'd never get there in time), so I quite hope there'll be a few left over to order.

[M Blakey]

Id definitely chip in on this its a sounds like a lovely case but  i wont be able to make salute. hopefully a few will make it to the shop!

[Ignatieff]

A 'bifter', never called it that before!  Brilliant

But not as brilliant as those gents at Empress.  I am so humbled and so grateful for all your support and friendship chaps, I really am.  Thank you everyone, we will drive all the better to Mongolia knowing what we know and immensely grateful for all your great deeds.  Thank you.

I won't be at Salute, but I'd spend 5 GBP for it as a charity token. Maybe Empress can cast some more....

[elysium64]

I lost my Father to Cancer, so would like to contribute. Can you put me down for one at SALUTE.

[Arrigo]

I lost one great uncle to cancer, my original PhD supervisor to Leukemia, and even my cat to cancer. I will certainly buy one Saturday. Keep the figure tucked away because I will appear after 12... (damn conference before...).

Indeed a worthy enterprise. 

[fastolfrus]

I can't get to Salute this year, but could you put me down for a half dozen?

[zebcook]

Likewise, Salute is beyond my reach (or swim), but I'd happily order one from the shop (and probably some other stuff).
