Hi Karl

Well I'd say number two is out, looks like somebody's Uncle trying to dance at a Wedding reception. Either one or three would be good. If you don't intend a base diorama I'd go with number three, in my opinion. Who makes that one by the way, I like it ?

Yepm, Uncle Arthur is out... The Royal models look good from what I can see Karl, although would you consider a change of head(s)?
The thrid is probably the clincher for me. The firsts pose would be for too specific a scene methinks?

I like the first one. Its diffrent from what you normally see, The other 2 just seem like the same generic poses.

Karl,

Guess it depends on how you are protraying your Firefly. The first figure which is my favourite would look good for a vehicle stopped and the crew waiting for an order to move forward. The other two I think are would be for the vehicle in motion.

Just my humble .02 canadian cents

Cheers all
It looks like figure 1 or 2 .
ill have to wait till the fireflys painted and have another look.
But as darryl said it depends if the vehicle is moving,and am going to do the firefly sitting idle.

Many thanks

Number 3. Uncle Arthur needs a lamp shade on his head to complete the pic

Hey Karl,
Figure #1 works for me in a "behind the lines" scenario.
Figure #3 would be perfect for a "going into combat" scenario.
Either one would look good.
Cheers
