      I know. What are the chances that I'd meet someone with overlapping interests, a bit geeky, without being a clone. Similar sense of humour. And she even happened to be a looker. I remember showing a photo of her to a colleague at work, and his comment was "But... but... she's beautiful!". Which is flattering to Annika I suppose, But I still feel like I was insulted! As for staying lucky, I'll be happy if she never realises that she's way too good for me. Iain.

        Looks good, and you could not get a more perfect match. But ~ e250 for the pair... Ouch! Cheaper than a wedding ring though! I'm now thinking which char I'd pick... Iain.

        Just google it first and see if anybody has used that service. I remember reading some similar company providing figurines based on avatars which did a very botched job.

          I have a challenge to fulfil. My better half and I met online (in WoW), and want a small nod to that fact in the wedding. I tried to get my brother to think we're having a theme wedding, but another relative leaked the fact it was a tease. So, as a small tribute, we want a his-and-hers armoured figurines. It doesn't have to be accurate character class models - just a non-Xena-esque armoured male and female. It's not hard to find male knights, but I'm failing miserably to find one with appropriate bumps in the... upper torso. Anyone a collector, has a clue, can give me any pointers. I won't gain any Man-Points, but I might get Groom-tokens, which are far more valuable. UK / Europe supplire preferred, but not critical! Iain.

                  That's exactly why we're wanting these. My current plan is to have crenelations around the top of the cake too. I'd go further, but I'm not convinced about grey icing... It's one reason the custom made 3d print of your actual avatar wouldn't work - just too darn large! (I thought of that last night. I say "I", but I mean "we". OK, she was the sensible one. Argh!)

                            I can't see any female knights - but it does have a lot of good stuff, including some female dwarves for 'er indoors. I'll parade some samples past her this evening! Have you had dealings with them yourself? Iain.
