    I'm only going to get the little anklyosaur as my 3rd fav dino and add him somehow to potp volcanicus. Hopefully the little guy isn't too compromised.

    I prefer A.

    Happy birthday @Avon. Tremendous artwork as always. The Galvatron pic absolutely slays.

    @Xaran Alamas, as the Motopope said, the standard Seekers were around £25 on release. Starscream was £35-40 due to the number of accessories he came with. Conehead 3 pack came in around £70-80. Slipstream was £18-19 so I'd expect Hobart's pricing to be pretty spot on.

    Ta both!

    Ha ha, that is amazing!

    I forgot we were birthday twins! Happy frickin birthday! Are we jumpstarters? If so I think you should have topspin’s cool shades for Max synthwave.
    And ta re the art - and ta for your pics! Yes to duccoo robes. Man I can’t wait for tfn. Going to the mini one this weekend has me hyped up for the big one too.

    Doooooo it. Come down and party with great people in rooms surrounded by robots. How can you not feel the call?

    Ah bad times :(  fingers are crossed for you all

    Darn that s a lot of reveals! Really up for those skeletons.

    Ta!

    As it happens I got surprised first thing with this:
    851507E1-F099-4DFE-B4C7-7B2C05BC2FA9.jpeg

    glad to be starting my 40s with the appropriate level of adulting : D
    (ended the day with deep fried oreos and I think I can hear my pancreas screaming at me)
    Cheers B!!

    Thanks mate, kind words!

    Thanks man! You at the mini con? Your town, right?

    Welp, so much for my reading comprehension, and :bday  @Avon too always a pleasure when Insta deigns to actually inform me you've posted a new composition!

    I blame my backbrain for getting preoccupied with percolating a means to create gun slings for my Joe Mini-Team, my trip to the local haberdashery was a bust, as they only had 10mm width at the smallest, but I may have found an online source for 'grosgrain' ribbon (though I did learn from the haberdasher that it's pronounced gro-grain in an á Francais fashion, so perhaps not a total bust I did receive that little bit of education) and have punted on 10 metres each of 3mm width olive green, black, and gunmetal grey because as Emgo sez, "Options are good."

    I've also punted on a new set of precision nippers as the set I got locally are rather brutally bladed being quite thick/deep with a rather shallow bevel at their biting edges, and they tend to mash more than I like, and nabbed some of that black styrene Toy Polloi Dave is always flaunting in his vids to boot as I reckon I'll have to fashion wee sliders/clips/buckles myself for their tiny fixings!

    Hmm yeah, a bit too small. Maybe I should try and track down the Master Made Scorponok? Though I gather without upgrade kits those guys are chibi styled. Not that I'd necessarily have a problem with that :D 

    Thanks :) 

    @Avon :bday  Fellow artist!

    Ack! Missed one?

    @Avon :bay :bday :bay 


    @Xaran Alamas been playing with my t30 doubledealer tonight and yeah, lost the thought of the er one. The t30, once he has the upgrade kit and titan master noggin, is a nice figure amd sure he has a jet mode instead of a bird, but it's good. Certainly no need to replace.
