Gosh darn it, Steve!
I just had a look at "Ollie out in the nature" in your gallery. I can not understand why you didn't like the base? Looks great to me. Only bad thing is the small pictures you post.
See you
Erik

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this...
Bows in humble shock
What sort of materials do you use to scratch build... Sh1t! I think I'm doing well if I can do it OOB.

Steve,
Here's the amazing thing about Southern Africa... you don't even have to travel 100km and the entire landscape has changed.... chances are you have got a more or less accurate depiction of some place in Southern Africa.... LOL :-) :-) :-) :-)
