Ohhhh, nice. But then I'd have to find that 5th SF Group decal for all their hats, bring them all in out of the yard for painting tiger stripes . . . :hmm:

. . . and there's the problem that the guy that makes these seems to have given up on production. Hard to find. A damn shame. :sad:

Oh man, those would rock! I agree, the mortar guy with the radio guy would be so cool!


It is too bad the guy stopped production. these are too cool!

Yeah - they're already hard to find online now. I've been searching for them last night. No dice...

See if you can get the previous feller to sell the molds?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Ummm, NO! I'm working on that already. That was my idea last night and I called dibs! I have a witness! A very well respected one! Mine! Mine! Mine! Those molds shall be mine I say! :chair:

Of course, once I acquire them, Blacksheep will receive a free gnome of his choosing. At least one. :bow:

Totally serious (for once) on this one. My wife and I discussed buying the molds last night and she began the process via an email to the current holder. We'll see what happens. If it does happen, you'll score some free gnomes. And we have plans for improving and expanding the line. Top secret stuff that would be cool if if we can do it. :yipee:
