thanks BB & Baron...I didnt wipe prints on those grey ambulance caps I used for for my Afrika Korps but concelaed them with matching grey stickers
and this will be a big Playmo sin to wipe such a beautifully printed tattoo :P
unfortunately I need naked torsos for themes where they dont wear tattoos...like naval cannon crews or those serving in the French Foreign Legion ;)

Its an interesting approach cheng! Looking forward to see if you'll do more customs with this torso, in case you don't erase the tattoo.

Cheng: He certainly is one Celt with a lot of personality!!!!

I vote for keeping the tattoo because it makes him look so weird and individualistic, which is hard to achieve with these little folks!
Have no earthly idea if Celts had tattoos....I think it was too cold for them to run around with their tops off, and when the sun did finally shine for more than 30 seconds, they would blister being so fair skinned.
And with the seriously high death rates from infections and no antibiotics back then, it seems like he would not have a tattoo for long...because he would be dead. And the state of injection needles seems nonexistent then.

Ka-ching, ka-ching....my two cents worth....from a Celt many generations ago, Pgal :wave:

Pgal, your '2 cents' opinions are always held with deep respect :)
I know many collectors will be abhorred when i erase these nice tattoos, but if not for my long long wait for naked light-skinned torsos, I would not have bought these for my abnormal purpose  ;D but it would be most painful should Geobra suddenly issue a new tattoo-less naked light-skinned torsos
...anyway I will console myself that no two ancient celt can have the same elaborate tattoo :P

hey WoT & WK, i did a bit of searching and came up with nothing except these two  ::)
