Great custums, your Nightwitches as well, Henry!

Post by: clickezno on October 15, 2008, 06:21:23 PM: Great work Cheng! I really like how you make "easy" to resemble real life units. I used the same collar piece in brown for some monks and they look really nice :)

And thanks to Olki for saving me looking IMDB the english title of the film I was thinking about ::) ;D

I had coincidentally seen the movie two days before I posted on TV and all the time I had to think about the Bird Watcher ;)

Post by: Dan on October 18, 2008, 08:59:16 AM: I followed the link about the Po-2. I loved the bit that said the Luftwaffe had real trouble shooting them down because an Me109's stalling speed was about the same as a Po-2's maximum cruising speed.

Result, they were TOO SLOW to be kept in an Me109's gunsights!
