Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!

Great photos and new kit, Chris.
I really like the trunk you found. It looks like it could hold a bit of treasure.

Cheers I've found a few more bits n pieces, but all will be revealed later. Excalibur is too big n heavy for AM. So I think I'm going to use it as a template and make one in scale.

Cheers, but I'm kicking myself. They had two different types at £1.50 each..and I only bought one..I should have got 3 or 4
I'm now desperately trying to find the phone number for the shop..to see if they will send me some more

Great photo Chris! Of course that's you on the left? Great use of forced perspective. Nice to see you.

OMG! That "twins" pic is hilarious! You even got the scale right!
This is the best "pose with your Mini Me" pic I have ever seen, in a lot of years in this hobby!
It's also one of the best likenesses!
This is too much fun! Awesome!

Glad you all liked it. It was a bit rushed as we were "supposed to be going out not mucking about with figures"

Cheers all. If that pic has taught me anything it's that I need to get back to eating healthier
Anyway. Here's the haul from holiday. 5 skulls. A tea service. A shell. Excalibur. A trunk. And a cactus.
Everything will probably go in the study for now, but the shell, cactus and possibly the trunk are the only things that will stay in there. The rest are for another dio. The sword is too big. ..maybe 1/5 scale. So I will use it as a template and make one the right size.
I did find a vam, but they wanted 95 quid for it....and it would have needed flocking and new hands so I passed.
And yes..I still need to sort out my lighting

Brilliant additions Chris! the skulls look terrific, I would be tempted to put the on a shelf in the study. I would also mount Excaliber somewhere on the wall. it would make a marvelous focal point. Be cool to see where they all end up!

Those demon skulls are superb!
The tea service is nice, too! I was... actually looking at miniature tea service sets on eBay a few weeks ago.
Looks like you scored a few goodies during your travels.
Are you back at home base again... for a while? Regrouping before the next adventure?

Sigh. So this is Suzy Soo....supposedly the start of a punk look kitbash, but:
The skirt is definitely too long. The tights are OK. The boots..which weren't cheap...are way too big The tshirt will eventually be swapped for a more punk one. The jacket will get "punked up" She will be getting a punk belt. And I have a cunning plan to put a bit of colour in her hair.
But for now I'm very grumpy because I thought I could just put the new gear on and she would look punk...she doesn't

Hey Chris She look pretty good to me mate, If you are wanting the skirt to look shorter maybe fold it over at the wasteband but a good old punk look was with bondage trowsers under the kilt and oversized boots were always quite a punk look just saying Cheers Ian
