Nice.

That Zorro figure is really well painted, who painted it?

Lovely minis! Zorro is fantastic. And I really like the alternative Tardis console. Perhaps Amy Winehouse had a traumatic experience while travelling with the 8th Doctor. Would explain a lot.

Amy Winehouse, Zorro, Killer Robots, what more does any game need?  I even love the name:  BLAM.  It just sings!

And a few quick model shots, there would have been more, but Rev roped me into helping run the Dr Who adventure, "The Brokers of Death".

Top photo, left to right:
Grimm, Pal o' Revford (sorry, still don't know his name), Helen Bacchus and Green Knight.

Bottom pic: The guy with the blue arse is Thunderchicken; Dewbakuk, just from the bank; Malamute looking as hot as ever and lastly Jolly Bob, who I guess was just called in to prop up the ceiling. Good to see you're having fun, chaps. :)

The Zorro figure was done by Malamute I believe.

Nice photos. I always wanted full moon shades like those, but eww. Where on earth did you find that wig? Wait, I bet I already can guess...

Nice pocket chain, Grimm. I've not seen one of those in ages!

Here's another few pics. Sadly I've not taken anywhere near the number of photos I expected to take, but that's because I've been engrossed in a couple of games. :D

Oddly enough, it got even better. Where else but BLAM would you get a Karaoke taxi back to the Hotel.

Pictures and Thunderchickens video of said cab to be disclosed on line soon!

Hammers, I'm impressed you recognised me through my Vin Diesal outfit. Although I have no idea what the bank reference is....

I am guessing Hammers though you were dressed as a bank robber with the stocking over your head, obviously I knew you were playing the part of Vin Diesel  ;) cos I am hip with the kids and that

As a good friend of Dewbakuk I can stand by his side and say this was not taken 15 mins before the start of the game. It was more like 10  ;)

I was playing in that one - and the paint was still wet.
Actually, the plaster casts were still drying out under the paint, and some of the glue was still setting as the game finished......

Indeed, I'm still impressed the grotto staff put a tablecloth that had the properties of a super-sponge on the table. It managed to pull moisture out of the tiles through the wood bases. Very odd to lift the tiles to find a wet table cloth, good though :)

The glue was only because a couple of pieces broke off, I'm not that bad :P
