Thanks for the very kind comments guys (and yes James, they are definitely 28mm). I'm on a roll now so here's one of my favourite poses.
Apologies for lots of pics, but he's got a load of interesting webbing and stuff so I'm showing it off :-)
Mick - my 'photography' setup is dire ... currently a mobile phone and my painting lights resting on my arms! It's all I have and, sadly, the results are probabaly slightly better than when my actual camera worked. Terrible photos though and my white balance etc. is all over the place.
