That is one seriously cool model!

Reminds me slightly of the Green Martians from Warlord of Mars.

Alien looking even... They are a little gawky - like something from a B movie - but I like B movies so that is fine. Once I've found a way to dissolve the glue on the others I'm going to try and get one of them to look like he is charging forward in a crouch.

Testing fairy powerspray atm.

Horn rimmed glasses would definitely suit them - they are the office workers from HELL. I'm not really sure where they would put this pocket protector though.

Well this blog is all about improvement! Questing after that elusive perfection and all.

I suppose the leg is riveted - Like a leather jacket

Von dom - actually the zebra pattern isn't all that hard - easier than leopard print anyway - if you just get a picture of zebra pattern up to help guide you its fairly straightforward.

Yep - same difference! ...ish

In work today I opened the door to the stairwell and there was a starling right in front of me - it panicked and flew around my head like a mad little flappy thing and I shouted "F--K F--K F--K" real loud so the customers heard. Seriously we have starlings nesting all over the place in there - they get in through the holes.
