#Lockdown modelling part one

It's been some time since I last posted, but I thought during this lockdown period I should make an effort to do so.

First though TOMORROW 2PM UK TIME - don't miss Fantom's THIRD, yes THIRD, online Doctor Who Convention event. The theme this time is Cybermen, and the crew will also be there discussing their favourite Cyberman design, you might even spot me in there. That's on their YouTube Channel tomorrow.

As I'm still working full time from home, I don't have a lot of crafting time, and most of my tools, materials and paint are down in storage. So anything I do will be limited.


I've got my hands on some PVA glue and a delivery today from The Works, bless them, has given me some Daz putty, brushes and paint to play with too.











So when the pollen count come down a bit I'll be tackling the garden, in the meantime I've started work on this, not quite sure what it's going to end up being yet, but a shape is already starting to form, all recycled materials that I've reusing instead of throwing them into the rubbish.


I was going to go for a deserted town look, but having got the tissue box as one of the key parts of the build this part at least will have to be an old world building I think.

I have a small stock of old coffee sticks still here which didn’t get moved to storage with the rest of the materials so old stone and wood will be the basis of this build. I have some firework sticks as well but no sandpaper to clean them up with or the small craft saw to cut them, so the old timber frame building might be a bit limited.

I’m also still working on the Doctor Who tapestry in the evenings, I’ll post some update to that soon and some writing projects also need my attention. Hopefully more on those soon as well.

The Missing Project...

As the year comes to an end and the D&D gang face their final session of the year, once again we face the fact we are GM/DM [Delete as applicable] less. We need to face it, this campaign is dead. It is a dead campaign. As campaigns go it is deader than a dead thing. Deader even that a doornail.  Now I’m sure this is not the first campaign to drift off to the great campaign trail in the sky, or down into the pit of despair, and I’m sure our GM/DM has very good/poor [Again delete as applicable]  reasons for stranding our poor little characters in a dungeon of doom and gloom with no means of escape, BUT…

Back in 2010 he was planning a great end, a bloody battle to end all battles, an invasion of the main underground city (“Are we underground?”)  A world carved out in caverns and constructed of stone with no wood or other building materials available. To compliment this great game that was to come I constructed a lot of new buildings which until now have been kept secret from the group, and thus have not featured on this blog. As I’m not currently building anything new at the moment and I don’t  want this blog to collapse and go completely off topic forever I’m planning a small set of posts revealing these models and some of the ‘fun’ I had making them.

Watch this space...
