I have to admit to not being completely familiar with these characters - however, if they end up doing Midden-Face McNulty and Durham Red, I might be tempted to buy them.Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-65968261806278356032018-07-22T08:43:00.985-07:002018-07-22T08:43:00.985-07:00Cheers Greg.

The "Stronty Dog" stuff is great-looking, but I was rather annoyed at my issue with the weapons and crumbly metal.<br /><br />Last push on the Boromites indeed.

I was not a happy bunny when I discovered both weapons on my tabletop, especially when I examined the quality of the metal at their points of failure - very poor imho. Fixed but now I'm a little nervous of the other weapons; particularly Silent's... and indeed was actually tempted to snap it off simply to pin it. Time will tell whether it survives the painting process.<br /><br />Big push on the Boromites as I try and complete them at last. I've had a good year since April finishing all my micro-challenges, so currently am stepping back in time to try and complete some of my older ones - and this one is an old one :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-78001875319429787702018-07-21T00:02:21.684-07:002018-07-21T00:02:21.684-07:00I love the Doombot Simon, he has a wonderful retro...I love the Doombot Simon, he has a wonderful retro sci-fi feel to him.
