    Apparently so, Richard.
    I don't think of myself as a perfectionist but I know it will irritate me if it's not right. I just wanted to make the situation look more desperate so I need more casualties. Plus I had a load of gaitered legs in the spares box to use up, ( all the bits are from the spares box) and I don't think I'll be doing anything else like this again- ever!

            I accept I MAY have exaggerated things a little...
            But then I do have form, I suppose- some of you may remember the horses and the 'Flying Scotsman' in the Scots Greys Charge diorama?

                      Those are superb Neil. You really have a talent for modifying and painting these figures. So nice to see colour rather than khaki and German grey.

                                Colorful indeed, Neil.
                                As I recall, traditional tailoring in those days require to ask if the wearer was a leftee or rightee. :smiling6:
