Just over a year to the day I got my new ratties, Franklin was
put to sleep this morning, he slipped away in my arms at the vets
after a 3 day battle against some sort of infection that was stopping
him breathing properly. Numerous vets visits and medicines had
no effect, I couldn't watch him suffer any longer. He'd not eaten
or slept and hardly drunk anything for 3 days. He leaves his brother
Winston all alone in their big cage. :*( RIP my big squishy boy.
26/11/06: Memorabilia
I went along to the MEM show at the NEC to meet up with the Garrison
guys and watch them in action to see what I'll be doing when my
armour is built! I was astounded by the dedication, quality, and
attention to detail of all the cosumes I saw - the stereotypical
"Nerd/get a life" slurs that are so commonly linked
to Sci-Fi events such as MEM were blown out the window - Garrison
guys are definitely NOT your jamjar glasses-wearing TV geeks!
I had a great day with them and can't wait to don the armour and
join them :D
14/11/06: Trooping!
Well I've decided to go for it and buy a full set of Stormtrooper
armour, from Authenticprops in America. It's made from .80 gauge
ABS plastic and is due to arrive tomorrow, will need to be cut
from the moulds and assembled. Can't wait!!!!
Once the armour is built then I submit photos of it and me wearing
it to the UK Garrison, who then approve it as being acceptable, then
give me clearance to go "Trooping"
with them all over the country.
9/10/06: Here comes Halloween
I've bought myself an electric pumpkin carver and you can download
tons of free patterns on the net. Also a promotional one I did
for Fuzzbutt.co.uk.
Cool use of Stormtrooper helmet with LED lights ;o)

30/4/06: Australian Pink
Floyd
If you are even the remotest FLOYD fan then go see these guys
- I went to see them at the UEA and it was so good I almost peed
myself. They played all of "Animals" plus most od Dark
Side of the Moon. Top professional kit they had, plus an awesome
light show. Brilliant musicians too, pure GUITAR PORN!!!
