(...) EXCELLENT and very cute! Maybe a little too much??? Not sure, will you paint it or ad some deco? Anyway I like it and wish you could have it product in quantities, some guys do that ;>) Bravo. (17 years ago, 27-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

(...) Hi Magnus, Indeed, camouflage is harder to do on a small model with complex shapes. Large flat areas are relatively easy. In that case limiting the number of colours is a good idea. That simplifies matters somewhat. I agree that certain parts (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Hey everybody. Just wanted to let you all know that we've extending the W.W.Y.B. contest until the 20th of August. All you need to do is build an alternative model using pieces from only the Skeleton's prison carriage (#7092) and email pictures of (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.build) !

Ralph, (...) Thanks for your kind words! You do camo very nicely.
