So this is the undercoat then, thanks for your entomological insights =)
Beautiful metallic helmet! :)) Nice capture Martini.
Gotcha! That's how they look like before being painted!
Wow, very nice, Martin! It gives a new meaning to expression "metallic"!
Yep I think this is the German model.
It looks very "industrial" compared to the colours of the others. Great!
I agree with Mark, this is beautiful.
Thanks Mark. I love this one. It is slightly different in color to yours.
It's a beauty Martin. Congratulations. :)
