Thanks for this useful information. The more I look at your work, the more I
like it. I always build op a scale 1:25, so for me it was a small step to put
those Bel-figs in. Thanks to you, I got some ideas and I am collecting the figs.
Living in Europe, I have to say that most of my Bel-figs are ordered in the US.
As far as I know, I am the only one in Europe who like this figs. There are lots
of them arround of course, but most of them are more or less damaged by kids
playing with them. Here, it is unfortunally not a collectors item.
B.T.W, I was the builder of that ruin. It was one of the first attempts to use
lovely Flora.
