Is it a panther?...no its a cuckoo!

[Lee W]

Here we go...I've hunted high and low for the decals for 'Cuckoo' but found naff all! Well that's a lie, I did find some but they were out of stock...oh and discontinued...great!

So I was a big boy and cracked open the white paint, got me trusty brush and with mark one eye ball, started painting, it needs tidying and the figures need a smudge over but here it is...Cuckoo!

Excellent work on the 'Cuckoo' and figs! I've just started painting the same figures - well, priming them anyway. The one with a hood was a bugger to put together for me. Hope mine turn out as nice as yours.
