This is a long term project - to be in next years model of the year competition -  and I hope to also get it finished in time for our show to amuse the visitors from other clubs.
Needed some skeletons - seen some in Mighty Lancer 3 for £4 - so keeping with the club motto "its got to be cheap" decided to try and make some. If they are not up to standard will get the ones from Mighty Lancer.
Now who shall it be ??

Is this going to be a club meeting, or is it for Halloween?

Is this going to be a club meeting, or is it for Halloween?

Any difference in the two

The cave for the model made from insulation blocks. Some plaster rocks made and fitted to the blocks and some more filler then added to bed them in and make the surface uneven.
To give colour some ordinary and green tea leaves added to the surface and some "countryside scenics" No 19 rough pasture added to give a variation in colour.

I now need a name for the skeleton who will go into the cage

Hi Msea,
With trepidation could it be a Committee Member.........
What about 'Neilus the Horrible', or 'Davus the Tightfisted'
Cheers,
Bigkev

[MSea]

I like both the names so will make sure I have 2 skeletons -- you can name them - I don't wish to get into any more trouble !!!!?

[Bigkev]

Glad you like them........
But I a feeling of impending doom........for me.

Watch out for "Davus the Tightfisted" especially after he sees his picture on Wed night.

Thought I would have to convert some of the spare figures I have into standing figures, they are the club members walking into the cave.
Found the Zvezda figures at half price in Monksbar Models so that has saved me some work.

[MSea]

The standing figures put together - leggings changed to trousers and extra bags etc removed. The mine detection equipment removed but decided to leave the axe ( hope they don't bring an axe to our club meeting, they might not like the MSea powerpoints.)
On the left of the model will be the area for the models and modelers who do not pass the test ( just for Bill/Neil?Kevin all the failed models are planes )

[Bigkev]

Hi Msea,
Are you still eating the last of this year's magic mushroom's?
Should I wear my body armour on Wednesday night, or better still my running shoe's.
In trepidation........
Bigkev

[MSea]

As the joke goes - you don't have to be able to outrun a bear, just be able to run faster than the other person with you !!!!
Just to add to your trepidation - the skulls now added to the groundwork.

Martin's Magic Mushroom have been working overtime I see.

You forgot -
Tony the Beast (-ing)
Martin the Meek
Kev the Creature( from the Black Lagoon)

I may bring my axe.
Be very afraid Martin, very afraid!

[MSea]

The axe man cometh - no answer to that.
Some colour on the cage and then removed, to give an old and decrepit look ( yes Zak - just like me. )
