rhino

not had a proper shufty on here for a good while. i'm relatively new and have a fox of teh dessert pistol. only been to the odd airsoft event over the last decade or so. i recognise some of the old crew (but whatever happened to r22master, antagon, crazy_harry and TaQ? answers on a postcard plz ;) )

O_o

doing a project - buying all the parts back and making an old lego castle i used to have when i was a kid..... seriously...... why on earth is lego so addictive? :I

just wanna get today over with. mother-in-laws funeral today :/

ghostbusters? nope...... no idea what a proton pack is.... *ahem* (although to be honest i have been contemplating making one of the RGB proton packs for a while )

when you get re-acquainted with something from your childhood........ fighting fantasy books! god i forgot how much fun these were

believe it or not, carrying it through the doorway so i could paint it outside (comes in 4 parts) he's worth it though

what made me happy today? finally finished the dalek build.... on the downside i think i've busted my back doing it.... :/

ahhh yes......... kidscotland, eh tink......

hey man..... that rug really tied the room together.....

now if you turned up fencing in something like this.....

the skins of various victims..... NOW PUT THE LOTION IN THE F***ING BASKET!!!!! *ahem*

might as well throw my 2 cents in here (considering that i was the one originally suggested and instigated the rule when i was a moderator back in '07 or so) the 100 post rule was set up back then as at the time there were a multitude of scammers turning up, putting items for sale and then fleecing members out of money and magically disappearing. back then the forums were quite busy and social media sites were in their infancy and with the vcrb clamping down on people buying and selling airsoft items without a valid defence, steps had to be taken in order to protect members from being ripped off at a time when airsoft pretty much had it's nackers on the chopping block. now (almost 10 years after that 100 post rule was first put into use) the day of the forum has sadly dwindled due to the popularity of sites like twitter and facebook thereby reducing the number of members that used to influx this site. yes maybe the 100 post rule should be reduced down to 50 or even 25 posts, but you have to bear in mind that the forums were once a place of information, reviews and airsoft events.... not just so people would join up, sell an m4 and then buggar off again. yes the 100 post rule is now obsolete and i agree with that and if you want to blame someone for it, then blame me, but for the benefit of the new members who turn up and randomly start bashing the mods and the forums in general - that's not fair. it worked back then, maybe not as much now. at the end of the day the mods and the forums had the members interests and safety at heart (and still do) anyway, rant over..... i'm off to build a dalek or something.... peace out

what made me happy? great day yesterday, lovely weather and the chance to walk down the promenade and get people randomly singing "GHOSTBUSTERS!" to you when you walk past

well..... i suck at fiberglassing. ¬_¬ (true story....)

what made me smile today? realising that this bloody things nearly finished.....

me and my spas 12 folder from 5 years ago (and yes, the shepherds crook is braced beneath my forerarm

ooooh! just downloaded the dalek plans booklet. can't decide whether or not to make 1 full sized dalek or 2 half sized daleks. then there's the color scheme. i like the dark grey from the pertwee onwards era, but i like the white and gold of the later imperials. decisions decisions.....

looking forward to tomorrow - bolton comic-con..... time to get all the ghostbusting gear ready
