I picked up another Charbens digging pirate at some point, then Peter sent me a reissue
he had painted (main images above), so although we ticked that box years ago, I
dug-out (geddit!) all the Charbens
diggers for a comparison.
All four? I don't know how I ended-up with
four but the camera doesn't lie! Variation between the Charbens seems limited
to shade of paint, with a strict-enough pattern being followed by the
out-painters, while Peter's is more realistically-muted in the palate used.
Also this chap came-in from somewhere,
possibly Peter Evans, I thought he was one of the Tim Mee baseless figure, of whom I have a few somewhere which we
looked at years ago, with the Charbens
I think? But he's not! He's my first Plasticraft,
and he needs some black marker-pen to be removed which may prove problematical.
He's about 80mm but would be closer to 90 if he straightened-up!
