For anyone not familiar with the term "Spiv" it refers to a charachter
who makes a living dealing in illicit goods on the Black market while avoiding military service. Not the kind of guy you'd want your daughter to bring home

Hi Pat

The Spiv is excellent, just the right pose about him.

I like the Infantry man, in Shirt Sleeve Order he is very useable.

More excellent stuff from Pete.

Cheers

And thanks for explaining "Spiv"..... saved me the embarrassment of asking.

I am liking the look of that infantry man, jakrei really seem to have found a niche with their figures!

A good example would be Walker from Dad's Army!!
