Don't worry, Vik! You have all of your internet friends to keep you company! And, as everyone knows, internet friends are at least one step above imaginary friends

so lads and ladies...
todays long awaited picture update i want to start at first with a big thank you to a fellow riveter...thanks dstein! today i received a big epic amount of plastic materials i will sooinish use to make more riveting goodnesses^^ it is in fact the first time then i will make something out of plasticcard...so cross fingers for me on that journey^^

after the suply drop courtesy of dstein i will show you the earlier deleted pics of some shots of the populated pirate ship as "was"... followed by the new detailed up pics of the ship...connoisseurs of rivets will duly note that i have begun the riveting process on that side as well...but as the song goes we only have begun...

so without further ado...:






the last pic here is one work of dstein from his own circutcutter...one of these days...damn these tools are hot^^

the problem is... it opens a window to all those parrelel worlds... you look beside you and see all the same faces looking to you too... all have their different ideas as to how to use this stuff now... which mnakes it oh so difficult to choose in the here and now after seeing all those possibilities^^

but one can then be asure as somewhere each idea got done^^

It has been scientifically proven that mirrors are actually gateways to a parallel universe which we cannot enter. Notice how everything in a mirror is back-to-front?
Parallel universe.

lol...

So there I was, checking up on Dakka in the evening. "Oh look! Unread posts on Vik's steampunk thread!" And this is what I got:

A bit underwhelming, as unread posts go

That being said, I feel like I've been razzing you a bit lately, Vik. Let me know if it get's to be too much. In most settings, one can read facial expressions to know when the jokes have gone far enough. Not so on Dakka...

you wouldna want to see my face mate...


that is me... exept that i don´t grin my teeth, or am totally bald or have such a round head or am so fully red in the face...oh and i have wonderful warm looking brown eyes too... so in fact this is so very much not me...

but i do like the feel of someone sizzling in their own fear of what migt he have overdone a bit mwaauuahahuahuauha^^

Don't expect me to be posting much (or at all) this upcoming week, I'm incredibly busy...
This saturday and sunday I have to go to school 10:00-4:00, monday 8:00-5:00, and the rest of the week 8:30-3:00 then 6:00-11:00- that's 67 hours in a week (35 more than normal), which is pretty big considering GSCE's are but a few months away.
Piled on that I have chemistry, biology, DT and graphics coursework to catch up on, two GCSE tests to revise on for after christmas, around 10 mock exams in a couple of week's time to revise for, plus I have the dentist on my back.

"Cheer up, this is the best time of your life!"
IT GETS WORSE?!

*hits head on keyboard*

*takes several deep breaths*
glad I got that out of my system.

first... it does get worse...and i am serious... and then...the dentist on your back...??? wtf...you seem to have some serious jaw problems... seems you should rather visit the orthodontist...with you having as it seems teeth on your back... good point of you for not showing your mug on the interwebs...phew^^

by the way... what business have you to be in school on the weekend... smells like some theatre or something.... beware the

the dentist isn't literally on my back, I just have a bunch of appointments with him and the orthodontists over the next few months- just another pebble on the mound of stuff I need to get past.
Weekend and after school for so long is rigging, programming and running the lights for the school production. (so theatre is pretty much bang on ^^)

Shiver me timbers its a picture update ;-)
Beautiful work again Vik , and that's a lovely collection of potential rivets there curtsey of Dst. hes a generous chap isn't he . Keep that up and you will be giving modellers a good reputation..

so the orthodontists was not only my joke... sorry mate...but remember this... if he helps you you get nice teeth and a girl someday that wants to kiss and everything else instead of looking like a saw^^ i wish my parents gad me sent to one to correct my teeth back then...gave me quite some trouble later on...by the way i know finally have a good dentist at hand and this relieves much of my anxieties over visits to the dentist...find a good one you can trust is what i am saying...

well it really seems a big package to work through...and even after christmas more of that... ouch...

at neil... yep i was quite astonished about this package...^^ and i will put it to good use!

I'm trying to hold it down so that I get friday and saturday off (revision wise) and so far I seem to be doing it, it's just the coursework gets in the way somewhat and school productions don't help either

yup in that combination it is a devourer of time...

Normally I can fit in around an hour's revision, plus an hour's homework, and have around 2-3 hours of free time on a school evening, it's just a series of unfortunate events ATM ^^

I say good job fine chap *sips tea* I couldnt resist

thank you sir!^^ and tea is good for ye...so no point in excusing yourself^^ (by the way...funny name of yours lol)

at shrike...it is a bit of lemon time to you it seems...and not having enough time for oneself can really drain your energy...

TBH I think that I get too much free time, and that I'm just not used to getting any less.

you call 2-3 hours a day free time too much? ups...ok...wont say a thing further...

Hey, you get most of the day free time, you unemployed devil you
and, thinking about it, I've had around 4 hours free today, but that's because I haven't got round to revising today and got no homework...

well thats right... sometimes i even get bored ;P
