DocRob Posted November 17, 2022 #36 Posted November 17, 2022 Wonderful Camel and rider. It's a nice touch, the helmet has the same color like his walker. Your figure painting skills are awesome and the figure brings a lot of life into the little scenery. I fail with figures regular and that's the reason, why my little Ammo Knight dio is not finished by now.

CDW Posted November 17, 2022 #40 Posted November 17, 2022 What a great model. I love things like this. So much visual appeal and the fact that it's so much different than what we are used to seeing makes it stand out. Now you have drawn me to look at the entire series of these type kits. Never knew about them before. My grandsons would love stuff like this.
