An update ...

Well, I noticed this morning that I've not posted on my blog for over 3 weeks - naughty me! - so I decided to update it to prove that I am still here and let you know what's been going on with me ...

First, I have continued work on a special build using elements of Stoelzel's Undeveloped Real Estate, although that has slowed down considerably lately, as I've been losing the will to continue with it [in other words, I'm getting to the hard parts now ;) ]

I've nearly finished my build of Stoelzel's The Split Level. I've modified it to be a jewelry shop and need to make some interior fixtures before I'm willing to put up pics of it.

While waiting for the inspiration to complete the two builds above, I've also started making WorldWorksGames 'First Light', which is a 28mm scale model of a space ship. I'm enjoying this (although using mounting board is throwing out the alignment of some of the components) and it makes a pleasant change to my other builds.

A couple of new TV series have also caught my eye, that I thought I'd share with you all in case you haven't seen them.

  • 666 Park Avenue - an American series starring the superb Terry O'Quinn as the lead (villain), set in an apartment building with lots of spooky, supernatural goings-on. 
  • Bluestone 42 - a British 'comedy drama' where the characters are members of a bomb disposal detachment serving in Afghanistan. Only seen episode 1, and IMO that was superb.
That's it for now; hopefully next time I'll have some pics (of something!)
