Will work on the pontoon bridge move according to how many pontooniers are available? Is there an officer figure in overall command? Can the men fight or are they simply all potential POWs?<br /><br />Warmest holiday regards from the Cancellery.

Yes, Mr. D...Thank you for your kind comments, men! Yes, Mr. David Soul is indeed the blond gentleman in the pontoon holding an oar. I'd even say that the face of this particular casting looks very much like the actor in his 1970s prime. I don't know how musical nisse are, or if banjos are their traditional instruments. This is actually the first illustration I can recall that depicts a nisse playing a musical instrument. Any native-born Norwegian visitors out there who might care to enlighten us on this particular point? Please feel free to weigh in here.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-32281256994958037742014-12-20T11:26:19.219-06:002014-12-20T11:26:19.219-06:00Is David Soul Sr. the fellow in the pontoon with ...Is David Soul Sr. the fellow in the pontoon with an oar but without a tricorn? <br /><br />I have to say that you seem to have mastered the "porcelain figurine" look with these figures. It is a unique look (to my mind, judging from wg figure painting sites on-line) and both striking and effective. Well done!
