thanx very much every body.he has been well looked after.the guy i got him off let him go becos he was geting to big.
as soon as i seen him i said yes to having him.
he might be abit bigger than 18inch bcos we have a tsn which is 18inch and he makes that look small.
thanx again :thumbsup:
Great patterning, well worth the wait.

Be better if it had its own forum :nono: :naughty:
Thats a very good looking Obscura. Congrats. I would be very happy if mine looked like that.
Before you know it you will have the Snakehead bug and your collection will grow.
