That might be too difficult to paint, as I type with black fingers from undercoating 8)

Whaaaaa?

Berlin definitely, all those blue-grey squares. The Swedish Cent was a nice tri-colour: two tone green and patches of reddy-brown ... but really what? Is this a genuine query or just another twist in the Centurion shaped dagger the seems to be permanently embedded in my spine?

I'm too caring a person to do that O:-) I couldn't resist the urge to cast off the master mould, I have five models in front of me and I'm drooling  :x

Um ...  Leon. Isn't that a Chieftan? I'm just asking because, well I don't know how to put this, it's not, you see, the same as a Centurion, and if, come October the 1st, the Centurion that we (the plates in the Pendraken track) have all  been waiting for, turns out to be a little bit Chieftan shaped, then there may be some people who will be a little bit disappointed.

Just thought I'd point it out.
