Sounds like a great plan John.
I will follow with interest from the cheap seats, where it is quieter and I can have my chocolate hob-nobs in peace.

Your welcome Ian, please don't drop too many crumbs !

Definitely in for this. I do hope this won't attract the rabble who usually turn up for one of your dio masterpieces. I'll see Mrs Jones for my ticket and a chit for a cup of tea and a sticky bun.
Jim

Hi Jim, it seems the Rabble have already started to turn up.Thought the mention that food and drinks were not free might put them off. Check has been made that I have plenty of Kappa Line board in stock , along with Bass wood, so the building fronts should be ok. The buns are fresh so enjoy.

Good luck with that one Ian bearing in mind the usual bunch of gannets likely to turn up for this!

I'll be there with my long arms and sticky fingers.

Dave it does seem to attract the Rabble, as long as you don't wave your arm about they should behave.

Hi Steve, thank you for the support, good idea on the flowers, note made.:thumb2:

Welcome Mike, be prepared for the thread to go off on the weirdest subjects and banter, until Ian shouts at us to behave !:smiling3::smiling3:.

Can't wait Dzohn. I remember the bakery. Undamaged is a great opportunity for structures.

Paul glad you can remember it. It was allowed in the house and sits in the front room. Should be fun to do undamaged for once!

Good to see you up and running again John. Have fun with the dress patterns……I was looking forward to Officer Crabtree though :disappointed2:

Me too Tim, out of stock at many places in the UK, inc John, showing nil showing. Some in Italy but don't want to have to pay through the nose. Those dress pattern should be a test !

John, seat down the front please.

Arranged Paul, Mr Jones will be along soon to take your order for refreshments.

Glad to see you back at it John I will have a seat at the back please well away from any nonesense.

Andy.

Hi Andy, might be a safer place, standing on a chair will normally give you a better view if any excitement takes place at the front.

Thank you Peter, makes a change something like this.

Quite an audience is gathering, as long as the Rabble don't get out of hand while things happen . Perhaps some one could lead community singing ?

Back in the cave a start of some figures has been made, much surgery has taken place using a selection of military figures.

Some times do this , just in case I slip and drill the finger !

Wire in place.

The right foot was removed and angle changed.

The left hand one is the one that had the previous photos.

The one on the right had to have new legs, at some point I 'd cut them off for some reason. Having been drilled out wired and glued I'll sand down and trim those legs tomorrow. He will become the waiter bending over a table.

Thanks for looking in, think I will have to buy some new Miliput, any one have any idea how long it lasts. Its been in sealed bags but one seems very hard ?

Yeah Lee.

Hi John, hope I'm not late for the shindig. Brought the music sheet and lyrics to Kumbaya to keep the rabble quiet. :smiling6:
The operating theater looks busy with amputations...I bet all the interns in the gallery are watching intently and trying to keep the buns and tea down. You have it in b/w mode...no blood and gore and still looks gruesome. Nifty surgery there.

Cut away John.

Cheers,
Richard

John,
can't be a French street scene without a pissoir!!! ................... and will you have a man in a stripy shirt & a beret?
Do you remember the 'Onion Johnny' ? In the 60's, we used to get them regularly - complete with beret, moustache, blue & white stripy shirt - and a bicycle festooned with strings of onions.............. long since gone, along with the horse and cart Rag and Bone man - and the knife sharpener, with his trick bike! Seems like a century ago.........................
