A November Update
 |
(*) For a Who's Who see below. |
You may have noticed that I’ve not got much in the way of model building done recently. That has something to do with the fact that I’m not only working with
Tenth Planet Events signings and Doctor Who conventions these days but also
Fantom Films as well. This has meant that I was at seven events over six weekends not leaving a lot of time for building work. These are fun to do and if you’re into science fiction and fantasy, especially but not limited to Doctor Who then why not come along to an event. These are held in Barking, Chiswick, Newcastle, Peterborough, Slough and South London – so covering quite a few miles travelling as well.
Also, if you do come along and would like me to bring a set of Karl books for you then drop me a line, because then I can offer them a special event price. You can find the next event I’ll be at featured in the right hand rail of this site.
That’s not say that I didn’t take time to do my Dagenham walkabout
following the national celebration of my brother’s birthday. Ok, so maybe November
5
th has other significance as well which is why the fireworks are
let off. It might have been because the date fell on a Thursday this year, that
when I took the walk this year’s haul was incredibly small by comparison to
previous years. But before anyone starts
to shout, I’m in total agreement that fireworks should be restricted, they do
scare pets and wildlife and it is not fare on them at all, but whilst they are
still sold I shall continue to round up what sticks I can to recycle into these
buildings. All the frame work on the
haunted house was built from the rocket
sticks from the last couple of years.
Building work aside I am also dedicating a lot of time again
to writing, working on the new project that has been in progress now for a year
or so since Karl was completed.
There are currently two volumes planned to the
new series of books – I’ve given some hints out in the past but not going to
reveal too much at the moment, only to say that I was very excited by one of
the figures in the recent Lego Minifigure series that was released, you might
be able to guess why from this photo.
