Great links thanks, quite an amazing record of these kits produced, it's easy to forget what's out there.
That old Norris kit by Jamie Salmon from Plan 9 still looks awesome.
I've got the little version of Norris by Jiver which is excellent and packed with detail, along with his dog thing, both highly recommended!

Cheers,
Paul

I picked it up last year so it may still be available (just haven't finished mine :D ) - probably cast to order as i guess it's a fairly old kit now ;)
