Chap Mei also did a static Delta guy if memory serves,though I don`t have either of these static figures.

They do look bloody smashing though & certainly pieces to add to the collection.

I think BBI will deliver for us it`s just they play there cards close to their chest. Till then we`ll have to sit & wait.

Just remember though we have BBI in the 1/18th camp along with 21st.

It`s better to have them at their pace than NOT at all in 1/18th :D

WOW guys I think that has to be the ultimate compliment. That this 4" custom looks like the 6-7" Hicks. Thank`s very much indeed.

I`m really glad how well he & the others have turned out.

Razor,
I did try though didn`t look to great. I may try again though.

Again guys Thank`s very much.

I think Phil summed it up pretty well. We still are a small body really for accurate/alternatives of armour at 1/18th scale. Moreso when you compare us to the Joe collectors who`ll happily use a piece of armour just cause of the looks or has joe stickers on it. Also there have been a few customs don...
