They are pearlers Mike.
And you should be happy with them. Wow talk about the master of perserverance.
Favourite, Hmmmm, top row (on the lower ones the limbs look a bit to "sharp" for me), They all look great but I think the first one by just a smidge. Good balance of clarity and size and colour. Mind you the smaller one seems to show detail better because of it's sharpness. But that's just spitting hairs. Definately worth printing out and putting up on the wall. Or sending the whole lot to one of the mags to show them the quality that can be done with a dob.
