Well, I'm a retired police officer (I believe the term is 'bobby' or 'pealer'?) so it would have to be a citizen's arrest! :wink:

But if you are going to dress up as a bishop, and be a 'shepherd of men', then wouldn't you need a crook? 8)

Hi all, sorry for the double post, but before I hole myself up in the basement workshop to get my entry finished, are we agreed to postphone the deadline one month?
Maybe Spack can put up a vote here? Or we can just agree here.

Just waiting for word.

Matter of fact, I do! It's called "The complete Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle. Isn't that what London looks like? :?

Darned americans and their misuse of vowels

(I watched a nightmares and dreamscapes last night where a Victorian child in north london during the industrial revolution(the set was actually rural mid america (same town as from children of the corn) but meh) said "bugger off Joe”… Because bugger off gets around the US swear filter (as does Wa&*er- applied to kids TV whenever a pseudo brit turns up) and they couldn't say anything ruder than joe about americans on a US program. :lol: :lol: )

It is not an extension, it is a reversion back to reality.. you lot all just suffered a temporary lapse in concentration of the 4th dimension and it threw you down the stairs..I was always working to 3rd of december :angel7

You know Tim, you're a good guy, we all know that but this seal clubbing thing has got to stop.
Quite frankly, it's a stain on your good character. :(

I mean, I have a gun, but I don't go out shooting people (well, not regularly).

Gah, 1 day left (well, just over 36 hours, although entries won't close till I get up on Tuesday morning and turn off the upload permissions, so it's almost 2 full days).

Jimster has uploaded his entry already, mine has just been undercoated (been a little busy again, even with a 1 month extension I seem incapable of not leaving things till the last minute!) and I'll be painting it later today, I think I should have it finished either this evening or tomorrow evening. It'll be close, but it will be done.

Good luck to everyone else entering. I'll try and post WIP shots of mine tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek ;)

Ooooh, these things look good, kind of reluctant to post my thang now as it is....don't know.
But, having said that, Colonel Calamity came penultimate last time, maybe this time, maybe this time...

Anyway, I got a load of 64 (yes 64!!!) guardsmen to guard things with this morning, off e-bay for £12.
Kind of expected some bad stuff (ok, I would butcher whatever came through anyway), but there are one of two that may be beyond repair...even for a medicae facility.

And so (with that most tenuous link), I hereby present to you, the wonders of e-bay.

007 style orange jumpsuits and giant soap opera style shoulder pads aside, the guy in the middleis priceless...
