But I do have a couple of simple conversions in mind for two of the "CD" Lizards smoking, as I only want one of that pose, so hopefully I can do something interesting with the others.<br /><br />The best thing about the Challenge is the eye candy, my friend, and like many I'll be up late waiting for the start, so I can get a simple WIP posting up by the end of Day One on Sunday.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-4289455144109075412015-12-16T13:52:12.070-08:002015-12-16T13:52:12.070-08:00I had not seen those figures before.
