I\'d also like to add:

:cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing:

I\'ve been waiting all week for Doctor Who to come on BBCi, wondering what the hell they were playing at only to check their notice boards and find out that it wasn\'t on because of the stoopid Eurovison! Obviously if I actually watched TV then I\'d have known but I only ever get to watch stuff on my PC :(

If anyone wants me I\'ll be in the sulky corner*.

<------- so that explains why we keep catching you in the Ladies Room:eek:

alright one mini finally fixed and rebased for GD (after it\'s accident a couple of weeks ago) and now on to finishing the two others currently on my plate before embarking on two more.

God I\'ll be glad when GD is over! Next year I\'ve got to start way sooner but hopefully I\'ll be a faster painter too.

How goes it in the freak bar?

Ah you\'ve found that one have you.
please be careful and wipe your feet on the mat provided when you leave.
It\'s the corner Tiddles uses to store his catnip.


As for the Doctor Who, well let\'s just say that the wait because of Eurotrash hiatus was worth it.
It\'s the first episode of a two parter with some nice well thought out and intriguing elements in it........I\'m not going to say anymore it\'d be a spoiler

It was rather good wasn\'t it. I\'m hoping it doesn\'t follow the trend in Doctor Who two parters by having a cracking first episode followed by a second half that\'s a bit of a letdown.

Country Wisdom

Never name a pig you plan to eat.

Country fences oughta\' be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.

Life ain\'t about how fast you run, or how high you climb. It\'s about how good you bounce.

Keep skunks and gossipers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor.

Trouble with a milk cow is...she won\'t stay milked.

Don\'t skinny dip with snapping turtles.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

Meanness don\'t happen overnight.

To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses.

Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal. It just ain\'t helpful.

Teachers, Moms, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Don\'t sell your mule to buy a plow.

Two can live as cheap as one...if one don\'t eat.

Don\'t corner something meaner than you.

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar...if you\'re in to catchin\' flies.

It don\'t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

Don\'t go drinkin\' with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug.

You can\'t unsay a cruel remark.

Every path has some puddles.

Don\'t wrestle with pigs. You\'ll get all muddy, and the pigs\'ll love it.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.

The early bird gets the worm. But...the second mouse gets the cheese.

I\'ve not been feeling good today. Very tired and getting muscle twitches.

yesterday I did go outside in the better weather to try some more shots with my camera. These are just on full auto modes so no changes in basic depth of fields, and apart from cropping have had nothing done to them.

I need a drink . . . my kingdom for a DRINK!

Bubba--hand me a beer . . . nah make it something stronger!

I\'ve got 3 out of 5 minis done for my unit! But I\'ve only got 2 weeks left. If only I had a day or two of vacation left to take at some point to finish my entries. Ah well . . . looks like it\'s going to be long nights for the next two weeks.

First I need some booze, getting out of my cave for a bit and . . . has anyone seen Sven? I need a Swedish Massage . . . Or if my dearest is around I\'ll take another full body massage!

oooh... that\'s a really good start but I think your photography is letting you down and you need to thin your paint a bit more.

lol

Actually, that would probably make a good sig :idea:

Ok Roger that!
Time to get that mini to the Pewter ER. STAT

Now who\'s going to hold Liz and Donna back while we find a George Clooney lookalike to do the emergency repairs.

You know, it\'s even worse than I remember it. It was painted with Humbrol enamels. I\'ve gotten better, I promise. :innocent: At least I hope I have. It\'s been 23 years since I painted it.

Even trying to hide it under less-than-perfect lighting conditions hasn\'t helped. lol

Here are some other minis to show at least some progress. They\'ve all been shot in the same natural daylight way and with my yet-to-master-the-camera photography skills.

First is one that was in the second set I bought. Notice the now expert tidyness (well, compared to the first one)

Next is the first mini I painted with acyrylics. It\'s gotten a bit worn due to being in my bitz box.

And thirdly this was my first attempt at drybrushing.

The many ages of Roger Bunting.

We have the KISS period, the goopy and chipped periods and finally the drybrush period. How long untill we see some recent stuff?
