However, it appears that all the cards for my figures (not to mention all my unbuilt/unpainted models are in an unlabelled box in one of the closets somewhere. So since I knew where this box of minis were, I made a little project of it. It took me two evenings to clean up and glue the figures together. The casts were ove...
