Thats a superb figure. I've never seen that one in the recent VP catalogues, is it old?

The weathering and detail on the kit, especially the wood grain, is top class and its a very interesting base you've got him on- but I must ask, whats with the watch face?

Thanks Karl.
Fig - this one:
http://www.sockelshop.de/catalog/popup_add_image.php?pID=781&products_id=781&cPath=73_28_74_100_66
I was expecting questions.
This is just a model, the vignette - humoresque from Polish comedy.

In the desert, during war in Africa, the Polish soldier accidentally went into Allies captivity . He could not get along with them, didnt speak English(like me ).
During conversatione with them, about five o'clock, they stopped talk and took the lead for drinking tea - leaving him alone.
It's more or less.
You should have to watch the movie to understand what I mean.
Title - "Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową"" - the period of the ww2 war, in a distorting mirror.
Not every word can be translated, but you should be propably laugh watching movie.
Cheers.

Hi Rafal. Another excellent figure. the paiting is first class ... especailly the face. The kettle also looks the part. One of the highlights for me is the way you have built up and painted the logs, which shows where the kettle has boiled, without falling into the trap of making scale flames. Very smart.
The only thing I dont like is the watch on the base. I understand why, but would it not be better to call the base "five o clock on the dot" or show a clock on the name plate?
