This superb vignette, has landed all the way from Barcelona. Excellent service and communications from Alexandre Cortina at Alexandros Miniatures.

Comes in a cardboard box, with a full colour sleeve, inside the items are sandwiched between two pieces of foam, and some parts in a clear bag.

Excellent casting and quality fitment, which will mean minimum clean up. Cant wait to get some colour on it.

Been working on this little chap; Clothing colours blocked in, just noticed a moulding plug on the sleeve, so will need removing before touching in;



The Pumpkin, used quite a few hues of orange, brown, yellow and greens;
