I think it is ironic that a blister given to me because a friend didn't want to paint them or had no use to them, has some ironically rare model. I used to have the catalogues, but I lent them to someone and they never returned them. But people have photographed all the pages, I wonder if it is in the Imperial Guard range...Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-28492429050427862632017-06-19T14:28:18.347+01:002017-06-19T14:28:18.347+01:00Walter White!

I actually like his quirky firearm/sword thing you know. I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but it does look cool.
