Very sharp.  Well done! :)

ummmm no? hehehe

my next two kits will take a while to make. mainly because they take a lot of money up front and then a lot of time to put together and detail. one is a Sand Trooper and the other is a US Colonial Marine from Aliens ;)

Wow, I haven't looked at their catalog in a long time. I think they're the ones I got my flint & tinder set from.

Flint and tinder?  You do fires the old school way, Sir Edward?  I might want a set of mine own, to light my pipe with.  It is incongruous to see a knight smoking a cigarette, no?  lol

I haven't had a chance to try it out. One of the downsides of living in a tiny row-house. I took a class at Pennsic a few years ago about how to do it though... which was useful since when I ordered it, I had no idea what the tin cans were for. I had to learn about the how to use (and make) char-cloth.
