Hi guys,

Picked up this set for a future dio I want to do.
As usual MB has done a nice job on the figures.The one downfall would be the boxers.Instead of full arms,they are attached just under their shoulders and it's difficult to get a really good fit.Had to use a bit of filler to get a smooth look.Important being they are shirtless.The instruction painting and the box art are totally different as usual.MB should maybe workmore closely with the artists.Lately I have been using these fine artist markers.They work well for doing eyes,eyebrows and helmet straps.They come in a varity of colours.

Hi Tom,

believing the 2 guys in berets to be paras, their headgear should be maroon, not red!

Cheers

Acknowledged!

Hopefully soon! This darn condition slows things down!! It should be starting to get better in a couple of weeks!

I keep my fingers crossed!

Cheers
