Er, Lego Spiderman and Wonder Woman?

I know, I know, it has to be seen to be believed, "How Far From Austerlitz?" as Alistair Horne would or could have said! (see below):



I picked these up at a Lego exhibition while on holiday and they were by far the cheapest items in the museum shop! Originally they came as white (blank) plaster-casts about 9cm by 4cm and my kids chose the characters which I had to paint free hand. Thank goodness for Google image search!

Ahem, I also have five tiny Star Wars ones to paint yet (Darth Vader, Luke, Princess Leia, Storm Trooper, Chewbacca .. watch this space), for the kids of course ;)

Note: No moving parts, so only a matter of time before they are chipped or smashed, despite the Satin Gloss varnish protection!

The Revell Star Wars Collection (to date)

The X-Wing with Luke and R2 (see below), now where has that Death Star got to? 



"The FORCE is strong with this one!"

Aw, Dad (see below)!!!!! Now don't go spoiling all my fun (again). Don't you remember how it was when you were a young Jedi exploring the galaxy in your StarFighter?


Yes son, I sure do!


Lovely models. They snap together nicely and I had 'many little excited extra hands and eyes' helping me make them :)

For some reason my children think these models are not really Daddy's ... the 'force' may be strong with them but this old Sith still knows a trick or two, like "it is bedtime" and "homework time"(queue theme Darth Vader's theme music)!
