Great kit bash. He really looks the part. I can just imagine him shouting "march or die" at his legionnaires as they trudge through the hot deserts of North Africa!

The old Airfix box art was amazing. Like you I can still remember seeing all those boxes in our local model shop (when those shops still existed) back in the early seventies! If I only had a time machine!

Interestingly Airfix have re-released a lot of the classic 1/72 and 1/35 soldier sets with boxes featuring the "classic" box art. I am waiting for the WW2 Australian Infantry figures (one of my favourite 1/35 sets).
