Nando, when I started on this forum, I predicted that in 2 or 3 years, CollectA figures would turn much better than Schleich figures. It was at this moment considered a silly comment and now I think there aren't many doubts about it.
I know it is an early and quite optimistic comment but I believe in your talent but my faith doesn't mean anything, your dedication, effort, exigence, patience and enthusiasm are much more determinant.

Bravo! Nice work!
