Mine are still pretty rudimentary and not very close to the originals in terms
of detail; I was relying on the *color* to carry them:-)

BTW, I was talking to Mike Walsh and he expressed that he has *his* Annie and
Claribel in the wings and was just about ready to show them off-- sorry to
steal anyone's thunder! >;-D
